What a Lawyer Can Do With a Personal Injury Claim

The pandemic has had many effects on American society, not the least of which is litigation. According to the United States Courts, during the first year of the pandemic, personal injury claims surged 97% from the numbers recorded in 2019. With Americans staying home much more than they had in previous years, product liability went up significantly and people's interest in recovering money for their injuries where they might previously have let minor impacts slide. If you're looking at filing an injury lawsuit, a lawyer can help you with multiple phases of this.

Your Injury Might Not Be as Minor as You Thought

That small headache after the accident grew into a serious concussion. Your minor wrist sprain from the accident turned out to be a bone fracture that's turned into a broken bone. Your broken toe is making it impossible to go to work. All of these injuries can take time to develop and it can be important to have a lawyer examine your case. Contact the Law Office of Arthur J.

Protect Your Legal Right to Recover Compensation

Everyone has a right to recover compensation, but in many states, that right is now encircled by a moat of laws like no-fault and restrictions based on how quickly after your injury you were able to seek help. Once you're hurt, you need to focus on recovery. While you focus on your emergency needs and eventual therapy, your attorney will protect your legal rights and make sure the window to compensation remains open.

Answer Questions For You

One of the best things you can be able to tell people expecting payment is, “Contact my attorney.” A personal injury attorney will be able to take contact from medical providers seeking payment, police officers looking for answers, liability insurance agents looking for ways to defray their liability, and your own insurance company needing your statement for payment of benefits. All of these situations are legal hazards to you and need the assistance of an attorney to navigate them.
