Galveston Personal Injury Lawyer

laptop When someone is injured by acts of negligence from another party, he or she becomes entitled to compensation under the law. Under Galveston and Texas tort laws, anyone who suffers harm due to the actions or inactions of someone else can file a personal injury claim. Accidents such as slips and falls, automobile crashes, pedestrian accidents, as well as medical malpractice, account for most personal injury lawsuits. By filing a claim, survivors may qualify for monetary compensation meant to make them whole again given the huge financial burden that follows an accident.

Our experienced injury attorneys help victims prepare strong cases against the liable parties. Unfortunately, not everyone understands the legal process that follows an accident, and for those that do, self-representation becomes difficult, especially when struggling with finances and focusing on treatment for the injuries suffered. For this reason, it’s always in your best interests to consult with a Galveston personal injury lawyer.

If you or your loved one has suffered serious harm in any of the above-mentioned scenarios, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Doing so on time allows your lawyer to investigate, prepare and file your case before the statute of limitations lapses.

Five Ways a Galveston Accident Attorney Will Help You

There is no doubt that hiring an experienced attorney in any personal injury case is important. Apart from helping you navigate through the often complex technical aspects of your case such as carrying out investigations, your lawyer helps you face off with the defendant and insurance companies aggressively during negotiations or when your case proceeds to trial. This is where you can make or break your case. A simple error when filing documents or exchanging information with insurance companies may make you lose your legal compensation rights.

Although you are under no legal obligation to hire an attorney, here are 5 major reasons why you should consider retaining a skilled lawyer:

Attorneys are Good Negotiators

When it comes to negotiating a settlement with the defendant or insurance companies, they always put their best foot forward. In fact, insurance companies have expert legal teams ready to counter any personal injury claims against them. And as employees, insurance adjusters, and company lawyers are well trained in bargaining and lowering your claims, and sadly, the average person is no match for them. Remember, they are not under any moral or legal obligation to look out for your best interests. So to even things out during negotiations, you should retain an attorney.

Attorneys are Objective and Professional

A personal injury lawsuit comes with immense physical and emotional difficulty. The pain and suffering endured after an injury may result in the loss of objectivity for your case. Your opinions and personal emotional feelings may prevent you from sticking to the facts of your injury case. On the other hand, a resourceful Galveston personal injury lawyer is only concerned with the facts of your injury case and will help bring on board the professionalism and objectivity needed to argue your case.

Attorneys Know the Value of your Claims

Because our accident attorneys have handled similar personal injury cases before, they know the value and worth of your claim to a Galveston jury. Given that the damages you suffer may vary and change with time, it’s important that you record and document every loss you suffer. Your attorney will compile all these losses together to accurately determine the worth of your case. With an experienced attorney, you are assured that the settlement you get reflects the true value of your claim.

Attorneys Know When to Settle or File a Lawsuit

One of the biggest challenges facing personal injury victims is lack of knowledge on whether to settle with insurance companies or proceed to trial. There are many factors to consider here. A seasoned lawyer will advise you on the best legal strategy that will help you secure maximum monetary compensation timely and efficiently.

Attorneys are Free to Hire

The first question that pops up when deciding whether to retain a personal injury attorney is whether you will be able to afford one. A legal process is often expensive, and adding more expenses to your already ballooned finances is not a good idea. Fortunately, most personal injury attorneys, including our Galveston personal injury lawyers, provide for a free consultation and contingency fee arrangement. This means that we only get paid if we recover a settlement for you. With us, you only focus on getting back on your feet while we fight for your rights.
