When do I need a Fairfax personal injury attorney?
A: A personal injury claim where there are minor injuries and little property damage generally does not need the help of a Fairfax personal injury attorney to settle. In fact, most of these claims settle before you can even contact an attorney. But when you are facing serious injury and have large amounts of damages from your accident, speaking to a Fairfax personal injury attorney before filing your personal injury claim can be of great benefit to your settlement.
A 1999 study found that insurance companies paid higher settlements to injured parties who hired an attorney versus those who settled on their own. One of the reasons may be that an uninformed claimant may not know the real value of their personal injury claim. A Fairfax personal injury attorney can help you understand all the damages you are entitled to so you receive the compensation you deserve.
If your personal injury claim is for very minor injuries it may be in your best interest to settle without a Fairfax personal injury attorney. If the settlement is likely to be small and only cover hospital bills for things like an x-ray and cast, and you aren't out of work for an extended period of time, you don't need attorney's fees to take away from that compensation.
Contacting a Fairfax Personal Injury Attorney
For a personal injury claim with substantial medical expenses, time out from work, permanent disability, and other serious expenses you should consult with a Fairfax personal injury attorney. You don't have to deal with insurance companies and paperwork alone when you're looking to file a Virginia personal injury claim. Fairfax personal injury attorney Ben Glass fights to help victims in the Virginia and D.C. areas settle their personal injury claims.
