When You’ve Been Injured

If you’ve been hurt in a personal injury accident – especially if you’ve suffered a severe injury – you’re obviously in a great deal of pain. You know the accident was someone else’s fault, and it’s understandable that you’re frustrated and angry. But if you try to act as your own legal representative, you’ll almost have no chance of getting the money you deserve.

Personal injury cases are extremely complex – far more complex than most people realize. Some injury victims decide they can fight these kinds of cases themselves. They’ve seen lawyer shows on television for years, so they think they know what it takes to win. Ultimately, they find themselves bitterly disappointed because they wind up with nothing but financial misery.

You just focus on what’s most important – getting better as quickly as possible. By hiring a personal injury attorney, your attorney can handle everything else involving your case.

When You Have Damages

“Damages” is just a legal term for the monetary losses you’ve incurred because you were hurt. These can include medical bills and lost wages, as well as any property damage that might have resulted from the accident.

Medical expenses and lost wages are examples of economic damages. They’re tangible, so they’re relatively easy to prove. You just need to produce the bills you’ve received, as well as some recent pay stubs.

But there are other, so-called “non-economic” damages that are subjective. You’ve experienced a great deal of pain and suffering, and you might have had to go through devastating emotional and mental trauma. It takes a skilled attorney to be able to calculate non-economic damages so you can get every penny you deserve.

If You’re Not Familiar with the Legal Process

Self-represented injury victims quickly find that they really have no idea about the inner workings of the legal system. There are tons of documents that have to be submitted, and the deadlines for submission are strict. Failing to meet them at any point could very well lead to the case being dismissed. If this happens, of course, the victim will get nothing.

Don’t let this happen to you. Hire an attorney with the experience and resources necessary to handle all of the paperwork, so you don’t have to. At Jones Law Group, we have a phenomenal staff made up of expert professionals who know how to make sure all the “i’s” are dotted and all of the “t’s” are crossed.

If You’re Overwhelmed

If you’re like most people who are severely hurt in an accident, you’re likely feeling an incredible amount of stress to go along with the physical pain you’ve been forced to endure. The last thing you’ll need will be to have to deal with the aforementioned paperwork, as well as everything else that goes into litigating a personal injury case.

An attorney can take all of that – and much more – off of your plate. They can investigate your accident, interview witnesses who saw what happened, check the accident scene to collect evidence, and more. This evidence is going to be critical to your having the strongest case possible.

An attorney will provide the support you need, acting as a true advocate who will always have your best interests in mind.

If You Want the Insurance Company to Take You Seriously

We’ve been representing clients in personal injury cases for a long time. One thing we’ve seen – in far too many instances – is that insurance companies simply love it when injury victims don’t have legal representation. It makes their job much easier.

What is that job, exactly? To either deny your claim completely or to reduce the amount of money you get as much as they possibly can. They’re in business to make money, not give it away. If you don’t have a lawyer working by your side, the insurance company will defeat your case easily.
