People get injured in many different kinds of accidents across California each day. And victims who are hurt due to someone else’s carelessness may be eligible to file a personal injury claim and demand recovery support. But some victims and their family members may be confused about whether they need a lawyer to get the most possible out of their injury claims.
There’s one easy way to determine if you’ll need a California personal injury lawyer to get fair treatment when you seek compensation from an insurance company. Maison Law offers a free consultation to all victims of California accidents. It’s a no-risk way to see if a lawyer can maximize your claim or if you are better off filing a claim on your own. There’s no obligation and your case review is always confidential.
Do I Need a California Personal Injury Lawyer After My Accident?
Accidents dangers come from many different directions in California. A reckless driver may force you into a frightening chain-reaction crash on a freeway. You could slip and fall on a puddle left on the floor in the produce section of a grocery store. You might suffer a dog bite at a California park or while at the beach.
A negligent motorist, a store owner, or a pet owner might be fully liable for your recovery costs. But in some cases, it’s hard to trust that an insurance company will provide every benefit available for what you’ve been through. You may wonder if the legal protection a skilled lawyer provides could help you earn what’s fair.
In general, there are two main factors in accidents that could mean you need to turn your case over to a California personal injury lawyer:
Talk to a lawyer after a serious injury. If your accident involves only a few scratches or bruises or only property damage, you may not have anything to gain by hiring a lawyer. But if you suffer a serious injury, such as a broken arm or head trauma, you could need the safeguard that Maison Law provides.
When medical bills go beyond a night in the emergency room, insurance companies get nervous and begin looking for ways to avoid having to provide you with adequate compensation. This is when they attempt to shift the blame for an accident to you or raise doubts about your injuries. In some cases, your lawyer helps you fight back against unfair accusations and partners with you to demand in benefits available.
Consult with a lawyer if you are being blamed for an accident you didn’t cause. This is another pitfall of personal injury claims that might make it necessary to consider hiring a lawyer. An insurance provider can try to blame you, even if an accident report says you were innocent. They simply want to see if they can save money at your expense. Your lawyer will gather evidence that proves you are innocent and then force an insurer to provide a settlement check that’s fair.
