No Fees Unless We Get You Compensation

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

Being injured in an accident can be a confusing and stressful time. You may wonder what your rights are, how to navigate the legal system, and how to get the compensation you deserve. That's where a personal injury lawyer comes in. At Field Law Group, our experienced personal injury lawyers dedicate themselves to helping clients who have been injured due to the negligence or recklessness of others. We understand that every case is unique, so we provide personalized attention and tailored solutions for each client.

 

Find out exactly what a personal injury lawyer does here.

What Is a Personal Injury Lawyer?

A personal injury lawyer is a legal professional who represents clients injured or harmed by the negligence of another person, business, or entity. They provide legal representation and advice to individuals who have suffered physical or emotional harm as a result of accidents, medical malpractice, or other forms of negligence.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

After an accident, filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit is no simple matter. A personal injury lawyer has experience negotiating with insurance companies, which means they can give you the best chance of obtaining compensation even if your claim or lawsuit goes to court.

 

Also, insurance companies can use aggressive tactics against accident victims, causing more problems in the long run. When it comes to conditions like permanent disability, temporary disability, pain and suffering, and severe injury, experienced legal representation is essential.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

Investigate Your Case

The first step in any personal injury case is to investigate the details of the incident. This process includes gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and other relevant information. Our lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation to determine liability and build a strong case on your behalf.

Determine Damages

In addition to investigating the incident itself, our lawyers will also work with medical professionals to determine the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life. Determining damages includes looking at physical injuries, emotional trauma, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the accident.

Negotiate with Insurance Companies

One of the biggest challenges in any personal injury case is dealing with insurance companies. Insurance adjusters work diligently to minimize payouts and protect their bottom line, which means they may offer you less than you deserve or try to deny your claim altogether. Our lawyers have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies and will fight tirelessly for your rights. We will not be intimidated by insurance companies!

File a Lawsuit if Necessary

We may recommend filing a lawsuit if negotiations with insurance companies fail to compensate our clients fairly. Our lawyers have extensive experience in litigation and will prepare thoroughly for trial if necessary.

Represent You in Court

If your case goes to trial, our lawyers will represent you every step of the way. From preparing arguments and presenting evidence to cross-examining witnesses and making closing statements, we'll use our expertise to fight for justice on your behalf.

Who Needs a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you have been involved in an accident or suffered an injury due to someone else's negligence, you may need the services of a personal injury lawyer. Here are some situations where hiring a personal injury lawyer would be beneficial:

 

  • Automobile Accidents, Motorcycle & Truck Accidents
  • Train Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents
  • Slip & Fall Accidents
  • Construction & Work Site Accidents
  • Medical Malpractice & Birth Injury
  • General Negligence
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Dog Bite Cases
  • Police Brutality

Key Takeaways

The lawyer’s initial role is to thoroughly investigate the incident and work with professionals to determine the full extent of damages.

A lawyer handles all negotiations with insurance companies to aggressively fight for the fair compensation the client deserves.

If a fair settlement can’t be reached through negotiation, the lawyer will file a lawsuit and represent the client every step of the way in court.
