Serious Injuries
People do not plan on getting into accidents, just like they do not plan to get sick or lose a job. But it happens...even to the most careful, responsible people. Accidents can cause serious, life-altering injuries, including loss of function of an arm, leg or another limb; reduced and limited range of motion to one’s back, neck or limb; chronic pain; loss of sleep; anxiety and/or depression; and, neuropathy, radiculopathy, and other neurological problems. Many of these symptoms of injuries are irreversible which means one must live with the condition for the rest of their life.
Once an accident occurs, insurance companies hire investigators, adjusters, and often times, attorneys, to minimize their exposure. Most accident victims are at a significant disadvantage because the last thing they are thinking about after being injured is hiring an attorney or protecting their rights. This can be a costly error. Evidence can be lost or destroyed, memories can be clouded, and precious time wasted. Delay may ultimately mean that your chances of recovering for your medical expenses, lost wages and other damages can be compromised, if not destroyed.
What most people do not understand is that hiring an attorney does not necessarily mean you will ever file a lawsuit. In fact, most cases are settled short of filing a lawsuit. And even if a lawsuit is filed, very few cases ever go to trial. Hiring an attorney after an accident does not mean you are "sue happy" or trying to "get rich." Hiring an attorney after an accident simply means you are protecting your rights and looking out for yourself and your family.
