Personal Injury Law And Filing A Claim
A claim is made against an insurance company, not the person directly involved. If your claim adds up to over a few thousand, you should seriously consider hiring a lawyer. Also, if there is any question, whatsoever, about who is at fault, you will want to hire a lawyer.
When To Consult A Personal Injury Lawyer.
- If you are seriously injured – especially to the point of missing current and possibly future work
- Before you file a claim – a lawyer can help you craft you claim so that the insurance company will be more likely to pay you the claim.
A lawyer can help you figure out what your claim should be, what your current costs are, and what you future cost and or loss of income may be. An insurance company will always try to get you to lower your claim and or will try to not pay out at all.
