In a situation where a person has suffered only minor temporary injuries and incurred medical bills of a few hundred dollars, there is probably no need to involve an attorney for shoulder injuries. However, even in those situations, it is a good idea to wait a sufficient length of time to make sure that the shoulder injuries are in fact minor and temporary before settling and forever releasing all rights to the claim.

You may not be on an even playing field.

However, in an accident where a more serious and/or permanent injury has been sustained, an individual who does not have the training and experience in personal injury law, is not on an even playing field with the claims representative and/or defense attorneys. Claim reps have specialized training, experience, and are closely supervised to operate within strict insurance company guidelines. Nonetheless, insurance adjusters many times will go to great lengths to keep victims from hiring an attorney to represent them.

The insurance company is motivated to do only one thing,
settle your claim as cheaply as possible.

Insurance adjusters have been known to "advise" injured persons (claimants) that they do not need a lawyer, that a lawyer will only cost them more money that the insurance company would gladly otherwise pay to them, and that they, the insurance claims person, will take care of the claimant and see to it that they receive every penny of compensation that they are legally entitled to. Suffice it to say that the relationship between an injured victim and the wrongdoer's insurance company is an adverse relationship. The insurance company is motivated to do only one thing, which is to settle your claim as cheaply as possible, preferably with you coming away believing that the adverse insurance company took good care of you.

Personal injury cases can be a lot more complicated
than they may appear on the surface.

In today's environment of much negative publicity about phony injury claims, insurance companies and Defendants generally fight cases and do not make quick, easy settlements, except in very small cases That may not have always been the case, but that is certainly the current state of affairs. As is also often the case, free advice from family and friends on a personal injury claim is easy to come by. However, as is true with most things in life, personal injury cases can be a lot more complicated than they may appear on the surface.

Special expertise is required to develop the evidence necessary
to prove the full extent of a victim's case.

Although insurance companies in some cases do admit fault, they always very hotly contest the nature and extent of the injuries suffered by the innocent victim. An insurance company will find every way imaginable to avoid responsibility for the full extent of a victim's case. For example, insurance companies often claim that an injury was a result of some pre-existing condition, or caused by a previous or subsequent trauma, or that the trauma is otherwise not related to the accident involved, or (of course) that the claimant is grossly exaggerating his injuries in hopes of getting a "windfall". Special expertise is required to develop the evidence necessary to prove the full extent of a victim's case.  Give us a call today, toll free, for a free consultation.
