Should I Hire an Attorney For My Injuries in an Accident?

Posted March 1, 2021 | Personal Injury Blog

If you’ve been injured in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be wondering if you should hire an attorney. The team at Fielding Law says there are some situations that absolutely require it.

For instance, if you’ve suffered long-term or permanent injury, you should hire a lawyer right away. Only an experienced personal injury attorney like Fielding Law can calculate how much your injuries are worth, and determine the impact on your earning capacity. If the amount is higher than the limits on the at-fault driver’s policy, the insurance company will try to minimize the payout. Fielding Law will fight to make sure you aren’t shortchanged.

Are there multiple parties, or is liability unclear? When more than one person has been injured, there may be less settlement money to go around. The insurance company will also try to shift liability, so you want an attorney who can protect you from counterclaims and cross-claims. Finally, the insurance company is denying your claim or engaging in bad-faith tactics. Sometimes, insurance companies refuse to offer a fair settlement, or any settlement at all.

In either case, a personal injury attorney can help, so get Fielding Law in your corner. Call the personal injury attorneys Fielding Law at (877) 880-4090 or visit us at https://www.fieldinglaw.com
