Using a lawyer can be frightening.

Most people will possibly use a lawyer once or twice in their lifetime.

There are many misconceptions about lawyers.

Such as they are too expensive for the typical person.

They are mean.

You can do it on your own.

In work injury, personal injury and Social Security Disability cases a lawyer only gets paid if you win.

There are no hourly fees and no upfront fees.

The lawyer gets paid a percentage of the award at the end of the case.

Your lawyer works in partnership with you to present your best case and win as much money as is allowed pursuant to the law.

The lawyer wants to win for you so there is no reason to be afraid.

The other side, the insurance company, has a number of lawyers helping it and giving it advice to protect its interests. So should you.

A lawyer has a large amount of experience in dealing with insurance companies, judges and other lawyers.

The lawyer knows what to expect and what you need to prove to win your case.

Make sure that you get an experienced lawyer on your side.

The basis of lawsuit is failure to protect resident privacy and dignity. The question is what are the damages, and how much is the insurance company willing to pay to avoid a trial. Certainly is shocking and disgusting.

Top Tip to Help Your Injury Case?

What is the best advice I can give anyone who has been injured at work or in a motor vehicle collision?

Tell your doctor immediately how you were injured and all the body parts that were injured.

For instance, tell the doctor “I was lifting a 50 pound box of parts when I turned and twisted. I felt my back pop and there was pain right away. The pain runs down my right leg.”

Make sure you tell all your medical providers the same thing each time.

This means doctors, nurses, and physicians assistants.

An immediate, clear, consistent explanation of injury will make your injury case go smoothly and increase its value.

Here are some tell tale signs that the insurance company is not on your side:

If they want to take your statement right away regarding the accident;

If they delay in paying your medical bills;

If they delay in paying you while you are off work;

If they make an immediate settlement offer;

If they do not respond to your calls, texts, or emails;

If they tell you work does not know about your injury;

If they do not authorize your medical treatment;

If they forget to offer you a settlement.

Any of these things happen make sure to call a work injury or injury lawyer immediately.

Injury lawyers only get paid if you win your case.
