Why Should I Hire an Attorney to Handle My Cases?
If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury due to another party’s negligence, it is essential that you hire a skilled attorney. Personal injury law is a matter best handled by a lawyer, since the laws impinging on an injury case are complex, and the liable party or parties will likely take aggressive measures to avoid responsibility for the injury. Only a lawyer experienced in personal injury litigation can navigate the relevant laws and obtain the damages to which a victim is entitled.

Why Is It Crucial to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries. However, whether your case is settled in or out of court, the process of obtaining damages is likely to be overwhelming if you attempt to represent yourself. Therefore, it is essential that you hire an experienced and aggressive personal injury lawyer. An attorney who focuses on personal injury law is able to make sure that you take all the steps necessary to the successful resolution of your case, from filing your claim on time to uncovering evidence, litigating or settling out of court, and collecting your settlement.
Issues in Personal Injury Cases
The following issues make hiring a personal injury lawyer especially important:
- Statute of Limitations – The statute of limitations is the time limit within which a personal injury victim must file suit. The statute of limitations varies from state to state (it is approximately one year in New York). After this time limit has passed, victims may not pursue compensations for their injuries.
- Insurance – When it comes to personal injury cases, insurance companies employ teams of experts trained in reducing the company’s payments by minimizing victims’ settlements. It takes vigorous legal representation – virtually impossible without the help of an attorney – to counter insurance companies’ actions.
- Compensation – The amount of compensation a personal injury victim may obtain for his or her injuries depends on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the circumstances surrounding the accident, and the skill of the victim’s attorney. Hiring a lawyer is the best way to ensure that the victim receives the full measure of compensation to which he or she is entitled.
- Punitive Damages – In cases in which the plaintiff was injured by maliciousness or wanton misconduct by the defendant (for example, a physical assault), the plaintiff may be able to file for punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant and are awarded separately from compensatory damages.
