Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
After an accident or injury, you will likely be in a state of shock and confusion. You might also be dealing with a lengthy recovery process from your physical injuries, so the circumstances of your unique situation could be overwhelming. You need an experienced personal injury attorney on your side, as there are numerous benefits to getting legal representation:
- An attorney knows what your claim is worth. Most people don’t understand just how much they can get for their personal injury claims, but a personal injury lawyer has the experience to help you get a higher settlement.
- A personal injury attorney understands the legal process. An experienced attorney knows the legal process involved in mediating or litigating your claim, including statutes of limitations, legal documents to file, and court proceedings.
- An attorney will improve your odds of winning your lawsuit. It can be difficult to go against an insurance company on your own, as they will have more bargaining power and knowledge about the legal process than you do. They will use your unfamiliarity with the system against you, but a skilled personal injury attorney can improve your chances of obtaining a substantial settlement.
“This was my first time dealing with anything related to accidents, treatments, and claims. I didn’t know where to start or what to do, but the Fielding Group picked up everything, told me every step of the way, and answered my millions of questions every time. They really cared about my case and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the process. If I had an slight con, the only thing would be sometimes the assistants could be a little hard to get a hold of right away but I always received an answer within 24 hours so it was never a problem.”

What Is Negligence?
Most personal injury claims involve negligence. A person may be negligent if they act in a way that is not criminal, but is still harmful to others. Every person has a duty to uphold a certain standard of care in all everyday activities, from driving to caring for animals. If a person does not exercise that standard of care, then they may be negligent.
If a person is found to be negligent either by acting or failing to act in a reasonable manner, then they may be liable for injuries they cause. Being liable means that they are responsible for any costs, or losses, that the victim of their negligence. You may obtain compensation from someone who was negligent and is liable.
Personal Injury Claims Process
This personal injury claims process can be complex and often requires legal knowledge to navigate. You may have to take the following steps:
Seeking Medical Treatment
No matter mild your injuries, you should see a doctor. You may seek emergency medical treatment. If you do not, you should still follow up with your primary care doctor as soon as possible. You should always follow your doctor’s recommendations and go to ongoing appointments, when necessary.
Talking to Insurance Companies
Insurance companies will likely contact you after an accident. Those companies will attempt to relieve their insured from liability and settle claims for as little as possible. They may engage in questionable tactics to get rid of your claim.
Managing a Property Damage Claim
After an accident, you will also likely have to manage a property damage claim. You may have to seek repairs for your car, phone, and more. It is usually possible to obtain a quick recovery from the insurance company for property damage.

If the insurance company does not make you a fair offer, then you may have to go to trial with a personal injury lawsuit. You should work with a personal injury lawyer to help you through this process.
