Why You Need a Personal Injury Attorney
Navigating the aftermath of a serious injury is never easy. You're dealing with physical pain, emotional trauma, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about your future. The last thing you need is the stress of battling with insurance adjusters who are determined to minimize or deny your claim.
That's where a personal injury attorney comes in. A skilled lawyer can level the playing field and fight to get you the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Do You Need an Attorney for Every Personal Injury?
Not every accident or injury will require the help of a personal injury attorney. If you suffered only minor cuts and bruises and the insurance company is cooperating, you may be able to handle the claim on your own.
However, if any of the following apply to your situation, it's in your best interest to at least consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer:

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Personal Injury Cases
The success of your personal injury claim can depend heavily on the actions you take - or don't take - in the aftermath of the accident. To protect your rights and give yourself the best chance at a full recovery, avoid these common mistakes.
How Much Do Personal Injury Attorneys Charge?
Contingency fees in personal injury cases typically range from 33% to 40% of the total recovery. For example, if your attorney secures a $100,000 settlement on your behalf, their fee would be between $33,000 and $40,000, and you would receive the remainder.
The vast majority of personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. With a contingency fee arrangement, you pay nothing upfront and your lawyer only gets paid if they recover money for you through a settlement or court award.
Your lawyer will likely invest significant resources in building your case, including hiring experts, conducting depositions, and preparing for trial. The contingency-fee arrangement allows you to benefit from their experience and resources without financial risk.
