Personal Injury Claims: When Do you Need a Lawyer?

04/01/2021

In cases where there are severe injuries, toxic exposure, or malpractice, you will need a personal injury lawyer. However, there are also instances when you don’t need a lawyer. Although you might need a lawyer to represent you in court if there are complex legal issues that need to be handled, other injury claims might also prove to be a waste of money.

To help you figure out when you need a personal injury lawyer, we have compiled a detailed insight into everything you need to know about injuries and when it’s necessary to contact a lawyer.

  • Severe Injuries 

This is one of the most obvious reasons why you should always contact a personal injury lawyer. Typically, the amount of accident compensation will depend on the severity of the injuries. It will help your lawyer determine the amount of compensation to be paid based on the medical bills incurred. In most cases, if the injuries are severe, the amount of compensation will be high. It will be worth it to have a lawyer to handle the case.

  • Toxic Exposure 

You might be exposed to contaminants in the air while at work. In such cases, you will need a lawyer to help you get compensation. Notably, most chemical companies have a team of lawyers to shield them in case people are exposed to their chemicals. 

  • Medical Malpractice 

Suppose you get injured or fall ill due to unprofessional, careless, or incompetent treatment at the hands of a nurse, doctor, clinic, hospital, or laboratory; in that case, you will need a personal injury lawyer to help you get compensation. A personal injury lawyer will not only ensure you get the required compensation but also guarantee you get the best medical care. 

  • When an Insurance Company Refuses to Play its Part

Regardless of the amount of your medical bills or the nature of the injury, you will need a personal injury lawyer to ensure you get paid by your insurance company in case they refuse to pay. 

  • In Case of Foreseeably Small Claims in Court

If pursued to the point of litigation, the court might argue that you should be compensated a smaller amount than you deserve. In such instances, you should always seek an experienced personal injury lawyer’s services to help you get the amount you deserve. However, you should also note that the law firm will charge a certain fee to help you get the required amount. 

Based on the above factors, there is no doubt that you need a personal lawyer to help you get the desired amount. At RS Law Offices, we are always ready to help you with your injury claims. We understand how anxious and frustrated you might be in the aftermath of the accident. When you hire us, you will be represented by an experienced attorney who is focused on helping you attain the maximum compensation.
