Frequently Asked Questions When Considering Obtaining an Injury Attorney
Since personal injury law and the need for a Lancaster injury lawyer are unique to each case, we wanted to offer answers to some frequently asked questions. These answers will allow our clients to understand our services better.
Q: Can’t I save money by accepting an insurance company’s offer to settle my injury case?
A: In a perfect world, an insurance company would give you a fair offer for your personal injury claim. You wouldn’t need an injury attorney to represent your interests. Experience has shown us that insurance companies often undervalue your insurance claim. For an insurance carrier, this makes perfect sense. An insurance company wants to pay as little as possible for personal injury cases to protect its financial bottom line. While that makes business sense for them, it can result in an unfair and insufficient insurance settlement—unfortunately, too little to cover your medical expenses and suffering.
Our experienced accident attorneys can negotiate on your behalf and ensure fair compensation for your injury claim. Our Lancaster, Ohio, personal injury lawyers have seen decades’ worth of personal injury cases. Furthermore, our firm knows when insurance companies make a fair financial compensation offer and when to advocate for a better outcome. Our practice focuses on what works.
Q: If I settle my personal injury claims quickly, won’t I get my money right away?
A: Yes, you may. However, our injury lawyers know that some injuries take time to heal. Additionally, you could have ongoing financial obligations, such as medical expenses or long-term medical care. If you prematurely settle your case, these issues do not get addressed. Your Lancaster personal injury attorney will address the potential legal problems arising from these hidden issues. Surprisingly, once you settle with an insurance company, you waive the right to pursue further compensation for your case. Settling closes the door on any future claims or payments. To be sure, an insurance company wants you to make a hasty and uninformed decision.
Our injury attorneys, and their dedicated staff, are familiar with reading medical charts. We understand the potential long-term issues associated with the injuries you may have sustained. Your personal injury lawyer can then take the legal actions necessary to protect your rights and future health. While we strive to reach beneficial results for our clients, we know how important it is to discuss realistic expectations for the outcome of your case. We would never advise rushing through a process that has a lifelong impact on your health and financial security.
Q: How will I know whether or not I need to pursue a personal injury case?
A: We recommend consulting with an injury lawyer as quickly as possible. It is also helpful to provide documentation and evidence to our personal injury attorneys when it is fresh in your mind and promptly obtain medical records. Then, we can determine whether it is wise to pursue a personal injury case. We have seen situations where people didn’t have adequate representation and suffered long-term consequences.
Q: How much does it cost to pursue a personal injury case?
A: The last thing you need is a mounting attorney bill when you are potentially out of work and looking at significant medical bills. Our Dagger Law injury attorneys in Lancaster handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. In a contingency fee agreement, our firm collects a percentage of the settlement or monetary awards from a trial verdict, as compensation. So, whether your case takes one month or 18 months, our fee is always a predetermined percentage of the final award.
Before retaining services from a personal injury attorney from Dagger Law, you will have a free consult meeting with your attorney to discuss fees. We will ensure that you understand our billing process.
Q: Will a personal injury attorney travel to me, or do I need to come to your offices in either Lancaster or Canal Winchester?
A: While some meetings will need to occur in our offices, we try to minimize your travel time. We offer two convenient office locations in Lancaster and Canal Winchester, Ohio. We aim to reduce the disruption to your life caused by legal issues. Therefore, we conduct most communications and meetings through emails or phone calls. We realize that clients can’t reach us in certain circumstances. However, we will plan to visit your location if needed.
Q: Do I need to hire a personal injury lawyer near me?
A: Suppose you retain a Dagger Law injury attorney to represent you. In that case, your attorney will travel to the necessary court hearings and legal procedures to represent you anywhere in Ohio.
