If you were injured by another's negligence, it is important you seek medical treatment as soon as possible. This can help your claim in a few ways:
- It shows the seriousness and existence of your injury.
- It shows that this was not a pre-existing illness.
- It eliminates the possibility that the severity of your illness could be blamed on not seeking medical treatment.
When to Hire a Premises Liability Attorney
Do you need to hire a premises liability lawyer to manage your injury claim? You do not. You are allowed to work on your claim alone and represent yourself as it progresses. However, as with any legally and technically complicated situation, relying on a professional to manage the details and key points is highly encouraged.
There are many ways an attorney can help your claim, but three specific ways you will probably want are:
- Evidence collection and use: Proving that the property owner caused your injury can be a steep evidential hill to climb. Even if the hazard that hurt you was “open and obvious,” the defendant could try to argue that it was so open and obvious that you should have known to avoid it. To prove their liability and lower your own, tangible evidence like medical reports, witness testimonies, and photographs are crucial. An attorney knows how to find all available evidence and utilize it in a way that enhances your claim.
- Insurance evaluator negotiations: Once your claim is filed, the responding insurance company will probably want to offer a settlement amount to conclude it before details go public. How can you be certain that the settlement is fair compared to your current and future damages? One way to negotiate carefully for the right amount is by letting a premises liability lawyer manage the negotiations for you. Our attorneys have decades of collective experience dealing with insurance companies, so we know all of their tactics before we even start your claim.
- Litigation representation: If settlement negotiations fail because the defendant will not offer anything close to a fair amount, then your case will need to go to court. Allowing a premises liability attorney to represent you takes all the stress of courtroom procedures and litigation off your shoulders. Hiring a local attorney also means you will be represented by a professional who is familiar with courts, judges, and jurors in your area. A bit of familiarity can build plenty of empathy in a case, which might tip the outcome in your favor.
