Many people are confused about hiring a personal injury lawyer and for good reason. Many people worry about the cost, trial, insurance coverage, making life harder for the defendant, how much their case is worth, and when to settle their case. This video is designed to answer some of these questions very generally.
Lawyers are generally very expensive and most people cannot afford to hire one. Therefore, people wrongly believe that they cannot afford a Seattle personal injury lawyer to represent them for their car accident injury case. Seattle personal injury lawyers are very affordable and end up making you way more money in the end by maximizing your case value. Generally, the cost of hiring a Seattle personal injury lawyer will be offset by the gain in value that maximizes a personal injury victim’s case value in terms of the amount they receive in the settlement and their ability to get all the necessary medical treatment they need.
Trial is something that everyone worries about and many people looking to hire a Seattle personal injury lawyer do not want to go to trial. Many wrongly believe that the only reason to hire a Seattle personal injury lawyer is to go to trial. However, there are many more benefits to hiring a Seattle personal injury lawyer besides going to trial and most cases settle outside of trial for much more money than an injured car accident victim could obtain on their own. Trial is only a last option and it is ultimately the client’s decision whether to accept the highest offer that the Seattle personal injury lawyer obtains for the client from the insurance company or to file a lawsuit.
Many people wrongly believe that all their medical treatment will be paid by the insurance company as they treat. This could not be further from then truth. The defendant’s insurance company about a month after you are in the car accident, will start pushing you to settle your case, often times downplaying your injuries and the value of your case. Additionally, the insurance company will not offer to pay for any future treatment and only pay for treatment you have already undergone. However, a Seattle personal injury lawyer can stop the insurance company from hounding you to be done with treatment to allow you to get all the medical treatment that you need and on your own time.
Who is going to pay for the treatment? A Seattle personal injury lawyer can walk you through all your options to find money to pay for your treatment while you are waiting for your injuries to heal and ultimately get a good settlement for the maximum value of your case. Your options range from personal injury insurance from your auto insurance, med pay insurance from your auto insurance, medical insurance, paying cash, and treating on a lien with the doctors and chiropractors.
The person that caused the car accident is often not a bad person and many people do not want to make this person’s life harder. However, this should not prevent you from getting what you are entitled to. Moreover, the person that caused the car accident will often have car insurance that they pay a premium for each month to cover this very situation and cover all your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Therefore, the only person you are saving money for is the insurance company and not the defendant. Do you want to save the insurance company more money than they already get every month and that you rightfully are entitled too?
Your case value is determined by your lost wages, your medical bills, permanent injuries, temporary debilitating injuries, mental anguish, and your pain and suffering. Because there are so many different variables, every case is different and it is very hard to predict the value of your case until you are fully healed and back to normal. For this reason, your Seattle personal injury lawyer will often not even try to guess on the value of your case until you are fully done with medical treatment.
