The idea of hiring a personal injury lawyer can be intimidating. You may be concerned about the financial implications when you’re already dealing with so much, you may be hesitant to divulge private health information, or you may just not believe that they have your best interests at heart.
The good news is that in many cases, you don’t need to pay for anything upfront, and most accident cases are settled before they can make it to trial. And while you might be able to handle your claim on your own, there are many reasons to have a personal injury lawyer on your side.
Negotiation is an art and a critical part of the legal process. Not only does it take skill, but it also takes a lot of experience to excel at it. When you file a personal injury claim, the at-fault party will likely have an attorney or insurance company adjuster fighting to keep any settlements low.
But having an experienced personal injury attorney can help because they have your best interest at heart. Your attorney’s job is to provide sound legal advice, protect your rights, and get the best possible outcome for your case.

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis. Personal injury lawyers know that an accidental injury can put people into a financial tailspin. There isn’t enough money because the victim is unable to work, and the medical expenses are piling up.
In most contingency fee agreements, there are no up-front retainers, fees, or out-of-pocket costs.
In this arrangement, the client pays nothing unless they recover compensation. The attorney is paid a percentage of the settlement or award. You have access to the legal representation you need without added financial burden, and we will fight to get you the full and fair compensation you deserve.
If the other party has a qualified attorney while you are on your own, it can put you at a great disadvantage. While the other attorney can highlight facts favorable to the defendant, it can be tough to know which evidence is important for your case.
An experienced attorney knows what evidence to gather and what you deserve, helping you obtain the best outcome.

While obtaining the right outcome for your personal injury lawsuit is key, it can be detrimental if you must wait a very long time to receive it. When you’ve been injured in an accident, your priority is to get better. When you have to wait until you get better to bring a claim for your injuries, the compensation you need can take far too long to recover.
By hiring an experienced personal injury attorney, he or she can begin the claims process while you’re still recovering.

Speaking of compensation, hiring a personal injury attorney may help you recover more. By hiring an experienced lawyer, you put yourself in a position to receive several times more in damages than those who are self-represented.
Some of the damages your lawyer can pursue include:
This can include anything from the emergency room to ongoing care and home health nursing. A personal injury lawyer will accurately calculate the cost of your injuries, medical care, and any costs associated with long-term treatment.
These damages are meant to replace or fix anything that was damaged in the accident. In some cases, that may mean your car, your clothing, your laptop, or maybe a cellphone that was destroyed in an accident. Replacing your personal possessions is often more expensive than you may think, and your personal injury lawyer will help you to recover the costs of these items.
The income you miss out on because of your injury can be substantial. Your personal injury attorney may fight for you to recover your lost wages, compensation for missed promotions at work, or other lost income resulting from healing or treating your injuries.
Personal injury law aims to make the injured party whole again after a negligent party causes them harm. Your attorney can also seek damages for emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and other non-economic damages that have impacted your life in an accident.
Having a lawyer represent you in negotiations with insurance adjusters can result in a larger settlement.
If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury due to the negligence of another, it can leave you battling physical, emotional, and financial hurdles.
But the good news is that a qualified Arizona Personal Injury attorney can help to improve your chances for success and can help to make the insurance claims process easier.
