Depending on the type of accident or injury, you may be entitled to different types of compensation under different insurance policies. You may also be entitled to other benefits. A lawyer can ensure that you recover all types of compensation and benefits that you are entitled to. For claims, such as motor vehicle accidents and slip and fall incidents, that may involve multiple insurance policies, it is important to consult a lawyer as early as possible to discuss the process for different claims and the deductions that arise when dealing with benefits under different policies.
Depending on the insurance policy and whether a Defendant is personally liable, it may be challenging to get the compensation you are entitled to without having a lawyer represent you. Often insurance companies are reluctant to offer compensation without the pressure of litigation. For Defendants that are personally liable, often a judgment is needed to require the Defendant to pay the appropriate damages. Even if you are offered compensation, it is important to consult a lawyer to ensure that the compensation is fair. A personal injury lawyer can review your legal rights with you and ensure you get fair compensation.
