Should I Contact A Personal Injury Lawyer?

Many victims of personal injuries are shy about seeking out an injury lawyer. However, if you want to find the best personal injury lawyer in your area, then you’re going to have to do a bit of research.

Even if you end up deciding not to pursue a claim, every second of time you devote to researching the legal options available to you will be worth it. Injuries are more common than people think, and often more severe than expected, so it’s always valuable to be armed with knowledge. It’s possible for a friend or loved one to find themselves in an equally unfortunate situation and you’ll be able to lend a helping hand.

Simply put – yes, you should contact accident lawyers if you’ve suffered an injury. Many injury law firms, much like the Delaware Injury Law Firm, will agree to handle your case on a contingency basis. We believe it’s the fairest way of handling legal claims as it helps strengthen the client-attorney relationship and makes the end-goal clear for all.

What Questions Should I Ask A Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you’ve never contacted a personal injury attorney, you may not know what kinds of questions to ask them during your first consultation. Below, we share some questions to consider keeping in mind.

What types of injury cases have you handled in the past?

By inquiring upon your potential injury lawyer’s past cases, you can get an idea of their field of focus within the broad law profession. Naturally, you want to go with an injury attorney or law firm who have litigated cases similar to yours in the past.

They should also be able to share some information regarding past settlements. Every case is different, so comparing your potential settlement to another case is recommended against. Nevertheless, past settlement amounts do serve to prove not only that it’s possible to fight, but it’s very possible to win and be compensated fairly and fully. We also handle wrongful death.

Who will represent me?

If you’re contacting an injury law office or law firm, your case could be handled by any one of a number of legal professionals. It’s normal for a law office to have numerous lawyers under one roof, but it should be clear from the beginning who will be handling your case. As mentioned before, it’s important to maintain clear channels of communication while your injury claim is ongoing, which brings us to our next point…

How much communication should I expect?

Law firms and individual injury attorneys can be quite busy. This means that they may not always be available to speak with you, or you may be directed to speak with another member of the team. Whatever the case is, we’ve found that it’s important to set expectations as far as how much communication our clients should expect.

Most individuals have never undergone a legal process in the past, so it’s normal for you to expect weekly updates. Unfortunately, the nature of your case may mean that it moves much slower. For this reason, make sure to understand how often you can expect a call from your lawyer, and how you can get in touch with them if need be.

Do I have a strong case for compensation for my injury?

Only by handling many cases can an attorney get a sense of the aspects that may help or hurt a case. If you’ve chosen an attorney experienced in personal injury cases, they should be able to give you an idea of the strengths and weaknesses of your specific claim, as well as layout some of the best and worst-case scenarios.

Can I Win Compensation Or Receive A Settlement For My Injury?

When personal injury lawsuits are filed in Delaware, in many cases they end up being paid out by insurance companies. For instance, in auto accidents, they are paid by the vehicle insurance company. In slip and falls, it is usually the insurance policy (paid by the owner of the property) that covers the damages.

Once victims realize that on the other side of their claims are insurance companies, they begin to doubt whether they’ll actually be able to win. Insurance providers are notoriously tough litigators. They’ll employ the best injury attorneys to fight on their behalf and deny claims or at least reduce the total compensation amount.

By hiring a personal injury lawyer, you are fighting fire with fire. Delaware’s strong tradition of civil justice makes it a playing field between victims and those responsible for their injuries. You CAN be compensated, and filing a legal injury claim is the way to pursue it.

What Is A Typical Personal Injury Settlement?

It is quite common for victims of personal injuries to ask our accident attorneys about the value of their claims. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put a dollar amount on an injury claim before it is litigated.

There are simply too many factors that can influence the final compensation amount to be able to predict. Some of these include the extent of physical injury, the extent of emotional distress, the age of the victim, their income and many more. Any estimate offered previous to the lawsuit being presented is likely to be inaccurate. But by speaking with an injury attorney, you can get more information regarding the specific legal options and avenues for compensation available to you.
