PERSONAL INJURY UNCERTAINTY
When to Seek Legal Help
LEGALINSURANCEAGENCY. COM 817.618.6381
If you are injured in an accident, it may not be immediately clear if you should contact an attorney. The accident may have been minor and easily resolved, but the accident also may have left you with many questions and uncertainty. The other party involved in the accident may not be communicating with you, or the insurance company may be giving you the runaround. You may face legal challenges related to medical care, transportation, compensation, and more. When should you make the call and hire an attorney? Here are three instances when hiring an attorney can make a major difference in your claim. SEVERE INJURY Severity is determined by three primary factors: type of injury, recovery period, and medical costs. In a vast majority of cases, these three points are related. If you suffer from a more extreme injury, your medical costs will be higher. Additionally, a more extensive injury may mean a longer recovery time. An attorney can help you maximize your compensation to help cover medical bills and other expenses you accumulate as a direct result of the accident. DEBILITATING INJURY Sometimes a severe injury becomes debilitating, such as when your accident has left you disabled for a year or more Texas-Sized LAUGHS
or has caused permanent disability. This can result in time away from work or even job loss. You want to be compensated not only for lost wages but also for medical expenses related to your disability, including ongoing care and equipment. Again, an attorney can help you determine the level of compensation you require. MEDICAL MALPRACTICE These types of cases are rarely straightforward. You may have to navigate a complicated legal maze to get the outcome you want and deserve. Medical malpractice can be the result of injury, infection, or illness caused by doctors, nurses, hospital staff, or anyone else involved in your medical care. In this instance, having a personal injury attorney at your side can be invaluable. When in doubt, it never hurts to call. This is why we offer a free consultation. We are here to answer your questions and to help you figure out your best next step.
