Why Hire A Lawyer
Some people attempt to handle their personal injury claim on their own before they turn to an attorney for help. Unfortunately, by the time you realize you need an attorney, you may have already damaged your case. There are many reasons why it is in your interest to hire an attorney right way.
At the law firm of Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California, our lawyers offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and answer your questions. We offer this consultation with no obligation to hire us.
Here are some reasons why you should hire an attorney as soon as possible:
- Dealing with the insurance company. Anything you say to the other party's insurance company can end up being used against you. When you hire a lawyer, the lawyer will talk to the insurance company for you and avoid damaging statements.
- Preserving evidence. As the injured party, you have to prove your case. An attorney can help you document evidence of liability in a form that will stand up in court.
- Dealing with medical bills. Until your case is resolved with the other party's insurance company, you will need to find a way to deal with medical bills. Our lawyers can help you evaluate your options. If you need to repay medical providers with your lawsuit recovery, we will negotiate with the providers so you can keep as much of your recovery as possible.
- Valuing your claim. You may have no idea how much your case is worth. An attorney can help you document your losses to maximize your recovery.
- Peace of mind. When you hire a lawyer, you can focus on your medical treatment and getting your life back. Your lawyer will deal with the legal, financial and insurance issues of your case.
As former insurance defense lawyers, we have the knowledge and experience to protect your interests every step of the way.
