How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You

Arnold Law Offices • May 25, 2023

If you’re injured in the workplace or hurt in an accident, you might have several concerns and questions. How will you pay off your medical bills if you’re unable to work? What if your injuries were the result of someone else’s negligence? In situations where you’re seriously hurt and unsure what your next steps should be, a personal injury lawyer could help you get on the right track.

When you first meet with a personal injury lawyer, be prepared to go over the story of your accident or injury in detail. It helps to bring along any evidence you may have, such as photos of the scene of the accident, pay stubs from your job showing any lost wages, copies of your medical bills, or anything else that corroborates your story. During this initial consultation, the personal injury lawyer will determine if you have a good case that would likely result in a win.

If the personal injury lawyer decides to take on your case, they’ll help you get the compensation you deserve. Some of the steps they take may include:

  • Collecting and reviewing evidence. A personal injury lawyer may collect additional evidence, such as police or incident reports, witness statements, accident photos, or employment records.
  • Negotiating with insurance agencies. Your lawyer can handle the stressful interactions required between you and your insurance company.
  • Preparing complaints. If a claim or demand letter is refused by the insurance agency, your lawyer might have to prepare a complaint against the defendant if they’re determined to be the one responsible for your injuries.
  • Representing you in court. If your case needs to proceed to a trial, your personal injury lawyer will represent you in court to fight for your best interests.
