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
