Can I Get More Money for My Personal Injury By Hiring a Lawyer?
Almost always, the answer is yes! Hiring a Los Angeles PI lawyer is almost always the best choice. Otherwise, why should you hire an attorney at all? But some lawyers let your file sit in the corner and do little to work up the folder. However, you know that a personal injury lawyer will closely monitor your file when you retain us.
So you will know what is going on during the entire process. Also, we will become intimately familiar with you and your case.
The bottom line here is whether you have a lawyer; not all the evidence is readily available.
In fact, hiring a lawyer at our firm could very well be one of the most important decisions you make. The idea is to strike while the iron is hot. But you need to know what to do, and we have that handled.
If we cannot get you a reasonable settlement, then we take the case to trial. Simple as that! The good news is that educated consumers can make a formal complaint to the California Department of Insurance.
But this can only be done if the insurer fails to resolve the claim within a reasonable period after submitting a settlement demand. The Ehline Law Firm is well known for building on this entire process with speed, aggression, and diligence.
Yes. Most of the time.
Reputable attorneys protect claimants’ harmed in accidents. They can also go further than mere protection of individual rights.
So that can lead to enforcement of personal accountability, and even product recalls, for example. But for a victim, the main concern is usually getting a bigger piece of the pie from the gross settlement proceeds.
Yes. Consider what the Insurance Research Council said in 1999:
Clearly, statistics show you can get more by retaining legal counsel for your injury case. Doing certain things that only a trained lawyer can typically do means the risks in proceeding with a defense of the insurer’s claim can often spiral beyond the acceptable risks.
He or she will fight to recover financial compensation on behalf of the client for their injuries, losses, and future damages. The lawyers at Ehline will be able to handle the claim promptly. After all, the insurance company of the at-fault party may deny the or delay.
Claims adjusters do not look at what is in the best interest of the victim. After all, it is their responsibility to protect their employer and corporate shareholders.
The plaintiff’s “PI lawyer” at Ehline Law can ensure a fair and reasonable settlement is obtained. This can be through negotiations or litigation.
Does Preparing the Case Properly Mean More Money?
Yes. When an accomplished practitioner represents a client in any of these situations, they build the case. They do so by gathering evidence and investigating all the pertinent elements of the incident.
They will also determine all the negligent parties. These people can be held liable. That way, victims can recover the financial award they deserve.
Most of the better lawyers will work on a Conditional Fee Agreement or a CFA. If they don’t win the case for you, they don’t claim a fee. When they win, they will receive the standard fee plus an uplift, also known as a success fee.
A Trained Lawyer Knows that These types of claims allow the victim to sue for financial compensation for their losses caused by others’ actions.
These can include:
So punitive damages can be awarded. And this would be in addition to available compensatory damages. Granted awards come when a responsible party acts with blatant or exceptional recklessness.
Yes, lawyers can get you more money in almost every case because they have the knowledge, training, and skill to make this happen.
