Have you ever experienced an accident or been injured? Recovery from such dreadful mishaps is usually stressful. Apart from the physical pain and emotional shock usually accompanying any injury or mishap, the victims usually have to face an even more daunting task: navigating the usually tortuous legal scenario so that they may retrieve their losses. This is where a personal injury attorney comes in. At Kelli Haas and Associates, located in Brentwood, Tennessee, we strive to bring back to life the lives of individuals who have been affected by personal injuries. This post outlines why you should hire a personal injury attorney, what services we offer, and what makes our firm stand out in the personal injury law world.
Understanding Personal Injury Law
What is Personal Injury Law?
It deals with cases from one individual experiencing harm to himself or herself through another party’s negligence or wrongful action. The field of personal injury law includes car accidents, slips and falls, medical malpractice, injuries at work, and product liability issues. At its core, personal injury law seeks the compensation of injured parties for such damages, either in the form of medical and lost wages, pain and suffering, and other costs.
Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
Expert Legal Knowledge: Personal injury law can be complex with varying laws and regulations from one jurisdiction to the other. An experienced personal injury attorney understands these nuances and can facilitate the legal process for you.
Investigation and Evidence: A personal injury case usually requires investigation and evidence to establish the case. Lawyers can collect police reports, medical records, witnesses’ testimonies, and more to build a solid case.
Negotiation Ability: Insurance agencies want to pay less. Thus, negotiation with the insurance adjusters has to be done perfectly by a personal injury lawyer to ensure the right amount of compensation.
Representation before Court: In case a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer will advocate for you in court, presenting the case before a judge and jury.
Contingency Fee Basis Most injury lawyers work on a contingency fee, whereby they only get paid in case you win your case. You are therefore allowed to seek justice without the burden of upfront legal fees.
