A skilled personal injury lawyer will be able to determine whether you have a good case. If you are not an experienced lawyer, you may merely be speculating about whether you have a solid case. If you have an optimistic bias, you could waste weeks or months chasing a highly unlikely outcome. On the other hand, if you incorrectly assume you do not have a good case, you could erase an excellent chance of securing the compensation you deserve. Both of the scenarios above are costly and unpleasant. Fortunately, you can avoid them both by hiring a lawyer who will carefully review your case and advise whether you should move forward with legal proceedings.
