New Jersey Personal Injury Attorney Edward H. Lee
An Overview of Our Personal Injury Practice at the Lee Law Firm
At the Lee Law Firm, we know from experience that an accident can change your life in an instant. You may be unable to work and meet your financial obligations. You may experience physical or mental pain or anguish that brings your life to a virtual standstill. You may need extensive medical care, which may not be covered by insurance. You may have to give up many of the things you love to do because of your injuries.
How Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help You
In the aftermath of an accident, you may think most of all of your needs can be handled by your insurer. It can come as a real shock when your insurance company engages in delays, offers you less than you need to cover your losses, or denies your claim outright. That’s because insurance companies are for-profit entities who maximize their return to shareholders by minimizing the amount they pay to settle claims. If they can find a way to get you take less, they will.
When you hire a personal injury lawyer, you’ll have someone with a vested interest in maximizing the amount you receive. Your attorney will typically be paid a percentage of your recovery, so the more you receive, the greater the payout to your lawyer.
In addition to preparing and filing all legal documents related to a personal injury lawsuit, your attorney will also act as your liaison with your insurer. You won’t have the stress of an insurance adjustor leaning on you to take an inadequate settlement. Your attorney can help ensure that you don’t say or do anything that jeopardizes your claim and will know how to ensure that you get full and fair compensation for all your losses.
