What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

If you have been seriously injured in an accident, you will need the assistance of a personal injury lawyer to file a claim. A personal injury lawyer will represent you during the stressful days following an accident. They will deal with the responsible party as your legal representative.

Most people are aware that if they are injured in a car accident, a personal injury lawyer can help them recover compensation for their losses. Personal injury attorneys can also help you in situations other than car accidents. To learn what a personal injury lawyer does, read on.

Duties of a Personal Injury Lawyer

A personal injury lawyer is responsible for providing legal advice, guidance, and representation to injury victims in order for them to obtain compensation for their losses. The following are some of the general responsibilities of a personal injury attorney that are comparable to those of a trial attorney.

Investigating claims and gathering evidence
Documenting injuries and expenses
Calculating the amount of damages

What Types of Cases Do Personal Injury Lawyers Handle?

Personal injury lawyers handle a variety of negligence cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, airplane accidents, medical malpractice, defective drugs, and wrongful death lawsuits. In other words, negligence occurs when one person accidentally or intentionally injures another.

Personal Injury Representation

Lawyers are usually present during a person’s darkest hours. Even if your injuries have not completely healed, insurance companies, doctors, and the police may contact you with questions, and bills. You may be agitated and concerned about how you will pay all of your bills at a time when you should be focusing on your health.

This is where a personal injury attorney can help. Personal injury lawyers assist people who have been injured in an accident in obtaining financial compensation. Compensation is typically required to cover your economic damages like medical expenses, lost wages, and more, as well as your non-economic damages.

Personal Injury Lawyer Fees

While all of the benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer sound appealing, many people are hesitant to do so because they are in such a difficult situation. Someone who has been in a major accident will understandably be hesitant to consult with an attorney. As a result, personal injury attorneys understand this, and most work on a contingency fee basis.

The contingency fee is deducted from any money obtained by the attorney in the form of a settlement or a court order. This provides an additional incentive for your lawyer to get you the best possible settlement.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
