When someone is injured as a result of someone’s negligent or intentional act or omission, he or she can sue for damages under a personal injury cause of action. Often this is seen when a motorist or pedestrian is injured following the negligent actions of another driver. I have handled dozens of personal injury cases involving motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. If you are injured because of the negligent actions of another person or business, you should contact an attorney immediately. You should not contact the other party or speak to an insurance company representative.
One benefit of hiring an attorney with an extensive trial record like myself is that you know that if your case can’t be settled for a proper amount, you will have an attorney ready, willing and able to go to trial to fight for you in front of a jury, where larger dollar amounts are often obtained. Unfortunately, “personal injury mills” take many cases in the hopes of settling all of the them very quickly without working with the proper experts to “work up” a case for maximum settlement or are unwilling to go to trial and therefore will take what they believe is the insurance company’s best last offer. The best strategy for hiring a good personal injury attorney is to hire a competent trial attorney who is willing to fight large entities like the insurance company.
