No one wants to get injured in any type of accident. But it happens. Through no fault of your own, you were injured due to someone’s negligence. Instead of relying on insurance companies to do the right thing, you should hire a personal injury lawyer. Here are five reasons why.

  • Objectivity: After your ordeal, it may be difficult to see rationally through your pain and suffering. Hiring a lawyer can help you clearly see what lies ahead.
  • Investigation: Personal injury lawyers often have people to work with them to gather and sort through the evidence, whether that is eyewitness accounts or affidavits.
  • Paperwork: In any claim, there is a lot of paperwork to sort through and sign. Having an attorney can help filter what’s needed from something that could be detrimental to your case.
  • Experience: Not only do lawyers have experience with personal injury cases, they also have experience with other lawyers and with insurance companies.
  •  Settlement: Sometimes a case can be settled before it even goes to trial. If it happens to go to trial, lawyers fight for the best settlement for their clients.

These are some of the top reasons to seek counsel from a personal injury lawyer. If you’ve been injured and need one, call The Law Offices of Robert Dodson at 803-252-2600.
