Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Navigating the legal landscape following a personal injury can be overwhelming. An experienced personal injury lawyer possesses in-depth knowledge of the court system and specific personal injury laws. They can assess the worth of your claim, accounting for punitive, economic, and emotional damages, ensuring you receive rightful compensation. Moreover, having a lawyer allows you to focus on your recovery while they handle the legal complexities, saving you valuable time and energy.
Types of Personal Injury Cases Belal Handles
Personal injury lawyers specialize in various types of cases, ranging from vehicular accidents to dog bite injuries and wrongful death claims. Whether you’re involved in an automobile, pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, or big rig accident, a personal injury attorney can help you seek compensation.
Additionally, Belal handles cases related to slip and fall accidents, construction accidents, and incidents involving rideshare services like Uber and Lyft.
Should someone you love pass away due to the reckless and/or negligent actions of another, Belal can represent you in a wrongful death case. While no amount of compensation can make up for the loss of a loved one, you can receive compensation to pay for funeral costs, medical costs that your loved one accrued as a result of their accident, and more. That way, you can transition to the next stage of your life with a strong foundation.
What to Do After Being in an Accident
In the aftermath of an accident, it’s crucial to remain calm and prioritize safety.
Documenting the incident, exchanging information with other parties, taking photographs, and gathering witness details can significantly strengthen your case. Do all of those to the extent you can while staying safe.
Yes, exchange information with other involved parties (other drivers, etc.) But, refrain from admitting fault or making apologies is essential, as any statement made can impact the case proceedings.
Call 911. Even if no one was injured, the police will generate a report which can help your case. Receive medical attention. Do so even if you don’t seem like you were hurt. Medical professionals can make that determination.
Call your insurance provider. Tell them the truth. Do so without embellishment.
Then, once you’ve done all of that, reach out to Belal for a free case evaluation.
How Do I Pay for a Personal Injury Attorney?
One of the primary concerns for individuals considering legal representation is the cost involved. Personal injury lawyers often work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t have to pay upfront. Instead, their fees are contingent upon the compensation you receive. This arrangement aligns the lawyer’s interests with yours, motivating them to pursue your case vigorously.
What is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
As for the settlement amount, there’s no fixed formula. Depending upon your case, you very well may be eligible for economic as well as non-economic damages. The value of your settlement depends on factors such as medical bills, loss of earnings, and the pain and suffering endured post-accident.
No matter what, Belal and the team will help you to recover maximum compensation for everything that you’ve been through.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Last?
The duration of a personal injury case varies, with negotiations typically taking anywhere from one to twelve weeks. Timely resolutions occur if the insurance company offers a fair settlement promptly.
However, if they attempt to undervalue your claim, we will negotiate aggressively for you. While only a small percentage of cases go to trial, we will be proud to represent you in court. Settlements can occur at any point before the trial, providing opportunities for resolution throughout the legal process.
Who’s Liable for My Personal Injury?
When we take your case, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation of your case to determine the truth. That way, we can bring a case against any and all liable for your injury.
Negligent or reckless drivers, employers, vehicle owners, premises owners, product manufacturers, and public entities are potential entities that could be sued for your injuries. Moreover, even if you bear partial responsibility for the accident, you may still receive compensation through comparative negligence, where your award corresponds to your degree of fault.
