Have You or a Loved One Been Injured?
Anyone who has been through an accident or injury knows that it can be a traumatic experience. No matter what kind of injury has affected you or a loved one, you have the right to take legal action against any person, company, or entity that is legally at fault for what happened -- including private citizens, stores, manufacturers, insurance companies, large corporations, and government agencies.
How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help
If you have suffered an injury because of someone else's carelessness, you may want to get legal help from an experienced personal injury attorney who will evaluate your case with you, to ensure that your legal rights are fully assessed and protected. An attorney can explain what you can expect at every step of your personal injury case, and will take action on your behalf -- researching the law, interviewing witnesses, collecting records, reviewing the evidence, conferring with expert consultants, planning legal strategy, and negotiating with insurers and opposing counsel -- all with an eye toward strengthening your position and ensuring your fair recovery.
Examples of When to Hire An Accident and Injury Attorney
Here are some circumstances in which you should consider hiring personal injury lawyers to protect your rights:
If the other party’s lawyer contacts you to offer a settlement agreement.
If you have to deal with an insurance company. Not everything involving insurance is as cut and dried as it may appear on the surface. A personal injury lawyer, knowing the law, can negotiate with the insurance company so you don’t have to.
If you have injuries that may require surgery or long-term treatment or some permanent impairment, such as a brain or head injury.
If you are unable to walk, dress yourself, feed yourself, or handle other personal activities.
Knowledge of Accident and Injury Laws
Personal injury laws vary by state, and individual situation. Unless you are a law student or personal injury professional, you are likely unfamiliar with all the laws pertaining to personal injury claims. In other words, you probably do not know what you are legally entitled to, and could therefore be at a disadvantage compared to an insurance adjuster.

For this reason, it is advisable to hire an attorney that specializes in personal injury claims and has extensive experience representing injured persons.
