Are Personal Injury Attorneys Worth It?

Many prospective clients wonder if an attorney will actually provide them with the results they need for their potential case. The answer is not always easy. In general, some clients either opt to proceed without legal guidance or do not select the right attorney for the job.

If you end up hiring an experienced and tested attorney that has a track record of getting results, hiring an attorney may be more than worth it. In general, injury claims require proof of negligence by another party and proof of the damages you are claiming. Combined, it can be difficult to prove both effectively in order to get the most compensation possible for your case. This is where an injury attorney is the most effective. By investigating your claim and utilizing the information and evidence they have uncovered, proving negligence and damage can be a breeze compared to if you went at it alone. The compensation you deserve may only be a phone call away. Contact our law firm today to get started on your injury claim.

How Do I Choose A Personal Injury Lawyer?

With an influx of legal options available at your disposal, you may be wondering how to effectively pick the correct lawyer for you. One of the first things you will want to do is research various lawyers with experience handling injury cases in your area.

Focusing on the track record of a law firm can sift out other less-experienced lawyers.

From finances to physical and mental health, no area of your life is safe from being affected by an accident. Law firms like The Law Office of Glenn C. McGovern take matters like these seriously. We are dedicated to protecting injury victims’ rights and do everything in our power to get them the compensation they deserve. Reach out to our law office today to see how we can help you with your case.

How Do I Protect My Civil Rights?

The police are sworn to serve and protect us all in our communities. In my over 44 years of handling civil rights police cases, I have learned that due to system failures, a few officers fail to serve and protect certain citizens. There is a systemic problem in the United States of excess force being used on citizens every day across the land. The numbers of citizens maimed or killed speak for themselves, especially when you see the numbers of citizens shot to death in other countries. Much of this is due to improper and inadequate training as discussed in this book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1 Can a lawyer help me recover damages for lost income?

One of the factors that most afflicts those dealing with injuries suffered in an accident is lost wages. When an injury forces you out of work and you don't have the proper benefits in place to cover you from losing income, lost wages can be a staggering issue that affects your finances, even deep into the future. An experienced injury lawyer can provide you with the support needed to successfully recover damages for any lost income you have incurred. Being injured in an accident can unfairly affect you and your family so it may be best to take action to protect your financial future going forward.

Q.2 How can a lawyer help me prove pain and suffering in my case?

Proving pain and suffering as damage in an injury case can prove to be a difficult task because of the subjective nature it entails. While other damages can be proven tangibly through facts and figures, no one can read your mind to prove emotional pain and suffering. However, with the help of an experienced lawyer, your pain and suffering can be proven much more effectively. Your lawyer can enlist the services of key expert witnesses that can attest to the mental and emotional condition you are in by evaluating you. On top of that, if you have sought psychological help from a psychologist or similar medical professional, testimony or even invoices that show you've attempted to get help can go a long way towards proving your pain and suffering.

Q.3 How much compensation can I be eligible for in my case?

The most important thing on an accident victim's mind can be just how much compensation they will end up getting for their claim. The simple answer is that it depends. Injury claims rely on the proof that negligence on behalf of another party caused your accident and proof of the damages you have suffered. Depending on how severely you have suffered as a result of your accident, you can be compensated accordingly. However, without the right lawyer on your side, it may be difficult to optimize the compensation you end up receiving. Our team of attorneys can work towards getting you the most beneficial results possible for your case.

Q.4 Do I need a lawyer to file an injury claim?

Although filing for a claim doesn't require a lawyer, your claim may be ineffective without the help of a seasoned lawyer that can help you through every aspect of your claim. On top of ensuring accuracy and efficiency for your claim, a lawyer takes the burden off of your shoulders so you can focus your energies on things that matter the most during these difficult times: your recovery and your family. Having an attorney by your side gives you the flexibility you need to continue going about your life as normally as possible while we handle all the nitty-gritty aspects including dealing with insurance companies.

Q.5 What types of accidents can a lawyer help me with?

Our unit of attorneys can help you with various types of accidents. With years of experience handling car accident cases, truck accident cases, motorcycle accident cases, product liability cases, medical malpractice, and more, you can rest assured that we can handle whatever you throw our way. Many of these accidents can have an incredibly adverse effect on your health and on your financial stability. Hiring an attorney to tackle this issue with you can go a long way to ensuring you don't suffer the consequences due to someone else's negligence. Regardless if you have been in a car accident or any other kind of accident, we will do whatever it takes to bring you the justice you deserve.

Q.6 Do I need to go to court to get the compensation I need to recover from my injury?

A put-off for many prospective clients is thinking that their case will have to go through a long, drawn-out trial that will end up costing them more in legal fees and more importantly, costing them precious time. However, most injury cases settle outside of court. Our attorneys are determined to provide you with the best results possible without having to go through litigation. That means we will use our years of experience to make sure we negotiate the best settlement possible for you to avoid court. However, if the insurance company doesn't budge, litigation may be the only way to get you the compensation you deserve. We will fight on your behalf until you receive what you are owed.

When Should A Personal Injury Lawyer Be Used?

Quite a few prospective clients are unsure whether or not they have a case because of how minor their injuries are. However, even minor injuries can be a cause for concern and may require medical attention and a shift in how you live your life.

If you are unsure if you should hire a personal injury attorney, you should contact one to see if your case has any merit going forward. Our law office provides prospective clients with a free consultation to analyze the specifics of their case without a need for commitment. We understand the difficulties you may be experiencing and we want you to know we are on your side. A major hurdle with injury claims is having to deal with insurance companies. The insurance company on the other side of your injury claim is incentivized by giving you a low settlement offer and delaying your case, in general. We can take on insurance companies to ensure they treat you fairly and effectively. Contact us if you are in Metairie if you’re on the fence about filing a claim.
