The best time to phone a car injury lawyer is after you have been in an accident and before you have settled with the other party involved. Many people make the mistake of not calling a lawyer when they have a broken bone injury claim or other claim involving an injury that is not their fault and end up settling for a lot less than they would get if they had a lawyer to represent them. Think about it, if you get hurt through no fault of your own in some accident, who is going to be looking out for your best interests legally? The people who hurt you or their lawyer? No. The insurance company that does not want to pay out on any claims unless they absolutely have to? Not a chance. No, the only person who can help you is a car injury lawyer.
A good lawyer will know how to make a broken bone injury claim based upon the injury itself as well as make sure that you get the legal representation that you deserve. At a time when someone is injured, the last thing that they need is to be up against a bunch of companies and people who are all well represented by lawyers. They need to have one who will only look out after their own interests. Lawyers usually do this for a fee, however, in the case of a personal injury claim, many of them will work on a conditional fee basis. This means that there is no fee unless you get paid compensation. They will look out after you in the court system, understand how to make any claims as well as see them through and it will not cost you anything to instruct them to help. The only way that a person pays is by winning and it is the losing party’s insurance company that pays your legal costs in addition to your compensation.
Anyone who has had an injury in a car accident, a bus accident or some other personal injury accident, even at work, needs to seek out the advice of a lawyer. The solicitor will review your case, see if you indeed have a case and then set about trying to make it right for you. They will usually ask for some form of compensation for your injuries. The amount for which they ask is directly related to the level of injuries that you have suffered as well as how it impedes your daily life. Therefore, those who have lost wages due to being injured or have a problem caring for small children will be compensated for that time that they were not able to work or go about their every day business.
A solicitor will not take any money for representing you until you actually reach a settlement. The amount of a court settlement is very often much higher than anything that an insurance company will offer a victim, so it makes sense to retain a personal injury solicitor whenever a person wants to be compensated for a loss sustained in some sort of accident.
