What Can A Personal Injury Lawyer Do for You?

After an injury caused by someone else’s negligence, it can feel like your world was turned upside down. Medical bills start arriving before you’ve had time to heal. Insurance adjusters call with questions that seem harmless, but rarely are. You may be missing work, juggling appointments, and wondering how long it will take for your life to return to normal. The days, weeks, and months after an accident can be overwhelming, and that is exactly when having an experienced personal injury attorney by your side can make all the difference.

A personal injury attorney can help by gathering evidence, filing paperwork, and negotiating a settlement. But we do more than that. A personal injury lawyer can investigate the accident, preserve critical evidence, deal with the insurance company to ensure you receive full value for your claim, and protect your rights when you are at your most vulnerable. We level the playing field, ensure you are not pressured into accepting less than you deserve, and fight to ensure the compensation you receive reflects the true nature and extent of your losses.

Most importantly, a personal injury attorney gives you peace of mind knowing that your rights will be protected and that the responsible parties will be held accountable for the harm they caused.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring a New York Personal Injury Attorney?

Dealing with the effects of an accident is hard enough. Trying to heal while also pursuing compensation for your injuries can be overwhelming. Filing an insurance claim takes time, patience, and effort, and you need to understand the laws that apply so you can avoid mistakes that could cost you the compensation you deserve.

Evaluate Your Case

When an accident causes serious injuries, a New York personal injury attorney can review the circumstances of your case to ensure your claim is valid and advise you on your options. Like most personal injury law firms, Looney Injury Law offers a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case and how our law office can help you.

Investigate and Gather Evidence

A personal injury attorney will conduct a thorough investigation of the accident. We will gather evidence, such as the police report, witness statements, photographs, and surveillance footage, to help prove your case. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, some critical evidence may be in the exclusive control of third parties who may not willingly cooperate with you.

Research and Analysis

Some personal injury claims are relatively straightforward. But others are complicated by competing evidence and technical theories of liability. There may be a dispute over the application of existing laws, and defendants may seek to dismiss your claim for technical reasons. A personal injury attorney can research the law, examine the applicable rules, regulations, contracts, and insurance policies, and analyze previous court decisions that might impact your claim.

Calculating the Value of Your Claim

Determining the full value of your losses can be complicated, and mistakes can cost you money. A skilled personal injury attorney will gather the evidence necessary to prove the total value of your claim, including your total medical bills, lost wages, future medical care and treatment, pain and suffering, and other damages you may be entitled to recover.

Communicating with the Insurance Companies and Opposing Parties

Individuals who were injured in an accident often face an uphill battle against defendants, insurance companies, and opposing lawyers who want to pay them as little as possible. An innocent statement can be used against you and could cost you a substantial sum of money. A personal injury attorney will handle all communications with these entities, protecting your rights to ensure you are not taken advantage of.

Settlement Negotiations

An experienced personal injury attorney knows the tactics insurance companies use to deny claims and minimize compensation. When you work with Looney Injury Law, we will evaluate the full value of your claim, negotiate with the insurance companies, and fight for a fair settlement. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, and insurance companies know we will fight if they refuse to make a fair offer for a full and fair settlement amount.
