The Problems with Pursuing Personal Injury Compensation Without an Attorney

Last updated 1 year ago

Being injured in an accident can be a heavy burden. Not only must you deal with the pain and difficulty of the recovery process, but you must also pursue just compensation for your injury; all the while managing your normal responsibilities and obligations. Here are a few of the problems with pursuing compensation for a personal injury without an attorney to assist you.

Assessing Your Claim

One of the most important steps in pursuing compensation for a personal injury claim is assessing the value of your claim. There are many factors to consider—the strength of the evidence against the other party, the type of injury, the physical, emotional, and psychological damage associated with it, any loss in future earnings or reduction in quality of life, and many more. The task of putting a value on your claim can be difficult, especially without an objective perspective. An experienced personal injury attorney is adept at evaluating your case and can provide valuable insight as to the strength, value, and chance of success your case has should it come to trial.

Understanding the Process

There is a lot of work to do in the wake of a personal injury before you receive just compensation for it. Between communicating with various insurance entities and dealing with their tactics, collecting information about the other party, and filing reports with the police and DMV, handling all of this can quickly become a hassle when you are simultaneously dealing with them and the impairments and expenses stemming from your injury.  Even paying for initial medical costs can become a burden if an insurance company is slow to act, and once the limits of the negligent party’s insurance have been reached, obtaining compensation becomes an arduous task often requiring legal action. It’s better to have a lawyer from the start.
