SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY

We are fortunate to live in a society that places a premium on human rights. Our sense of accountability is very high. And the profusion of personal injury attorneys is a reflection of that.

Personal injury can occur anywhere, anytime. You can get it while eating at your favorite restaurant; you may suffer from it while at work; or you may sustain it as a result of an accident or assault. Personal injuries may either be physical, psychological, or emotional.

If you have sustained personal injuries and would like to file a case, the first step is to look for personal injury attorneys. Personal injury attorneys are particularly adept at handling these types of cases, and have considerable experience in litigation and settlement of personal injury cases.

SUE OR SETTLE

A personal injury lawyer will assess the merits of your case, and make recommendations as to the best course of action that you should take. Primarily this depends on your intent for filing the case. Or you merely want to claim compensation and damages for the loss you have incurred as a direct or indirect result of the injury.

The services of personal injury attorneys can be very expensive to retain. Before you avail of one, know what options you have. Check if your insurance covers legal costs of hiring personal injury attorneys; you can approach legal organizations providing pro bono services; or you can ask if the personal injury lawyer accepts a no win no fee or a conditional fee arrangement.

Under a no win no fee scheme, personal injury attorneys will not charge any fees in lieu of a percentage of the cash that will be awarded to you if you win the case or if the liable party offers cash settlement. A conditional fee arrangement means that you pay the personal injury lawyer’s fee and other expenses only if your case wins. The lawyer does not stipulate any share in the money that you will receive.
