Often, the process to obtain the funds that are owed to you can be stressful and overwhelming, especially following an accident. It is most often in your best interest to seek legal advice following an accident.
The lawyers at Martin & Hillyer Associates are here to help give you the strategic edge that you might not otherwise have.
1. The Worth of Your Claim
The personal injury lawyers at Martin & Hillyer Associates are experts when it comes to knowledgably assessing the value of your claim. Although there are some tools available online to calculate the value of your claim, they don’t encompass the full scope of your accident that only a skilled lawyer can adequately assess.
An experienced personal injury lawyer, such as the lawyers at Martin & Hillyer Associates, will be able to completely evaluate your situation and give a proper judgement on the amount you deserve. Without a lawyer, you might have an inaccurate idea of how much you are owed. This could cost you thousands of dollars that a lawyer might otherwise have known you were entitled to.
The Burlington personal injury lawyers at Martin & Hillyer Associates have years of experience with accident settlements, lawsuits and how insurance companies work. If you’ve been hurt in an accident, request a consultation to get started today. An experienced lawyer can help you obtain what you deserve.
2. Understanding The Legal Process
Our experienced personal injury lawyers have an expert understanding of the legal procedures for the litigation, mediation and possible trial involving your accident. The personal injury lawyers at Martin & Hillyer Associates will be able to assess the situation and advise you accordingly.
Legal documents are often filled with complex terminology which can be stressful to navigate after an accident. With the help of a lawyer, these documents can be filled out correctly, promptly, and explained in detail. This can help relieve stress and increase your confidence moving forward.
An insurance company may also try to take advantage of your limitations and lack of expert knowledge in legal procedures.
Insurance companies often have limiting views and base their decisions on rates that do not accurately reflect the value of your claim; a skilled lawyer is able to identify these areas of concern, which could ultimately result in you receiving the true value of your claim.
Our lawyers will always come prepared with the knowledge, experience and motivation to get you the compensation that you’re entitled to.
3. Improving Your Odds of Winning
Finding an experienced personal injury lawyer is arguably the best strategic move that you can make following an accident. Taking on a claim by yourself, or even representing yourself during a trial, is most often not in your favour.
Without the added knowledge of a personal injury lawyer, the insurance company could use your unfamiliarity against you, to benefit and protect themselves. Our lawyers are experienced in working with insurance companies and are abreast of legislative changes and the information required to present a strong case.
Our skilled lawyers can improve your chances of a bigger settlement by using their experience and knowledge. Usually, personal injury lawyers also have access to outside experts, such as medical professionals or even private investigators. These connections could be what brings you from a good settlement to an amazing settlement. A settlement that you deserve.
4. Going to Trial Prepared
Most often, an accident injury case will not go to trial. If they do, a jury typically empathizes with the victim – and the insurance company knows that. That’s why the insurance company is usually more driven to reach a settlement with you instead.
When you have a personal injury lawyer on your side, that is a clear-cut sign to the insurance company that you are more than prepared to go to trial. This alone can often motivate the insurance company to reach a higher settlement much quicker.
Ultimately, the benefits of hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer can help to reduce your stress and help you to receive the compensation that you are entitled to.
