3 Essential Reasons To Hire A Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Attorney

PI_1

If you’ve been injured in a Fort Lauderdale accident because of another party’s negligence, you might be unsure whether to hire a personal injury attorney. While you are under no legal obligation to hire a personal injury attorney, it is best that you do so. Working with an attorney gives you a better chance of winning your claim. A qualified Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney can help ensure you recover the compensation you deserve.

The following are three things a Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney can do for you that can increase your chances of recovering the compensation you deserve from the negligent party;

Removing the Insurance Company’s Ability To Devalue or Deny Your Claim

Insurance companies use several tricks to devalue or deny personal injury claims. For example, the insurance company may keep asking you to provide additional information to prove their client is liable for your injuries. When the insurance company keeps asking for redundant information to provide more proof of the defendant’s liability, its primary goal is to drag out the claim process so that you get tired and finally accept a low offer or give up.

When you work with a qualified Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney, they will know which information you need to provide and which is unnecessary. When the insurance company asks for information you are not required to provide to prove liability, your attorney will help you fight back. The insurance company might not even try to use its tricks on you when it sees you are well-represented.

Boosting Your Negotiating Position

Before accepting a personal injury settlement, you need to negotiate with the insurance company. However, the truth is that insurance companies rarely give unrepresented plaintiffs a chance to negotiate. Insurance companies often make it look like an offer is the last one they can make. And when an insurance company gives an unrepresented claimant a chance to negotiate, chances are, it will end up making a low final offer. A qualified Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney can aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve through negotiations. An experienced attorney will know when the insurance company has made the final offer it can make and will ensure you don’t settle for anything less than the maximum amount.

Preparing Your Case for Court

Most personal injury cases settle before trial. Only 1 in 20 personal injury cases is resolved in a court. However, your case might be among those that need to go to court. If, for example, the insurance company does not pay the amount you deserve for your injuries and damages, your case might need to go to court. A skilled Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney will ensure they prepare your case for trial from the start, just in case. For example, your attorney will ensure they gather enough evidence, so they don’t have to go back and gather evidence when months or years have passed. Finding useful evidence after months or years has passed is almost impossible.
