When Should You Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer?
While some accidents and injuries are truly blameless, the vast majority result from the carelessness of others. People in a variety of situations have a legal responsibility to act reasonably and take practical measures to prevent others from being harmed. When they fail to do this, and innocent individuals are injured or killed, those responsible can and should be held accountable under the law.
You should consider contacting a personal injury lawyer if the following are true:
- Another person or party (such as a business or product manufacturer) owed you a duty of care
- The other person or party failed to uphold the duty of care by acting negligently or wrongfully
- You were injured, and the other person or party’s conduct was the cause of your injuries
- You suffered measurable economic and/or non-economic “damages,” or losses
You may also have a case even if the other person or party did not necessarily act negligently. In some cases, you can bring a personal injury claim under the theory of strict liability, which holds that certain parties are always liable for injuries and deaths in specific circumstances.
A personal injury lawyer, like those at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, can help you determine if you have grounds for a case. Our team can also evaluate the extent of your damages and build a case aimed at securing compensation for your current and future losses.
Depending on the specifics of your case, we may be able to recover compensation for your:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Current and future lost income/wages
- Pain and suffering
- Lost or reduced earning capacity
- Lost enjoyment of life
Our Minden personal injury attorneys handle all types of cases, from major motor vehicle crashes to severe dog bites and attacks to construction accidents and more. We are here to answer your questions and provide the guidance you need to begin the recovery process.
The Benefits of Working with an Experienced Legal Team
We understand that you may be wondering if hiring a personal injury lawyer is worth the cost. When you are already dealing with unexpected financial challenges due to your injuries, the thought of hiring an attorney can seem like more trouble—and expense—than it’s worth.
However, there are countless advantages to working with a personal injury lawyer rather than trying to handle your claim on your own. For one thing, research has shown that people who hire attorneys nearly always recover significantly higher settlements than those who attempt to resolve their personal injury cases on their own. For another, personal injury law firms, including Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, provide their services on a contingency fee basis. How this works is the law firm covers the initial costs of litigation, meaning you do not pay any upfront fees. You also do not pay any out-of-pocket expenses when you hire a personal injury lawyer, as your attorney is paid via a percentage of your settlement or verdict. In other words, if you do not receive compensation in your case, you do not owe anything.
When you trust your case to Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, you benefit from our:
