A good personal injury lawyer will handle all of the following for you:
Gather evidence supporting your claim (medical bills, police reports, treatment
history, surveillance footage, government reports, etc.)
Determine a fair settlement amount based on your injuries
Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf
If negotiations fail, take your claim to court and fight to obtain fair
compensation
Collect compensation from the defendant on your behalf
At the end of the day our goal is to fight to obtain fair compensation
for you and give you the opportunity to rest and recover from your injuries.
