It’s common for a person to be involved in an accident and not know if they need to hire a personal injury attorney. If you’re on the fence, then we suggest you call Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707. We offer a free consultation so there is no risk. That said, we know that you also want some answers first.
While every case is different, and these three situations are not by any means the only situations in which you should hire a personal injury attorney, if you’re dealing with any of them then you should certainly call us right away.
- There’s more than one person involved
- You have suffered significant injuries
- You have a disagreement with the insurance company
Almost every personal injury case is complex. That just gets more true the more parties are involved. Take this example. Let’s say you were injured in an accident with a commercial vehicle. This situation has a lot of potential parties involved, from the driver, to the owner of the business that driver was working for, and the insurance provider of both.
You can trust that any commercial party is going to have several attorneys and a team of investigators on their side. You need professionals on your side too. At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, we take cases on contingency so you don’t have to pay for investigations, witnesses, or legal fees. Our cut comes when we win damages for you.
If you have a sprained wrist and minor property damage then it may not make sense to hire an attorney. That said, even in that situation, it may make sense. For example, if your job requires you to use your wrist and you’ll be out of work for six weeks while it heals, then you should receive damages for those lost wages.
In the event that your injuries are serious, such as a brain or spinal cord injury, then you absolutely need an attorney. It’s likely that the insurance company involved is going to push a quick settlement on you. They want you to sign off before you’ve had a chance to think not just about today’s costs but the long-term damages. Don’t do this until you’ve spoken to a personal injury attorney who can determine how your injuries are going to affect your future.
If there’s one thing you should know about insurance companies, it’s this: Their loyalty is to their shareholders – not you. That is true even if you are the one who holds the polices. Their goal is to keep their claims as low as possible. They are not going to offer you the maximum they’re willing to pay and they’re going to try and get the claim settled quickly. Don’t let them.
If you’ve been involved in an accident then you owe it to yourself to contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707. We are here to help you. Start with a free case evaluation and we can decide how to proceed from there.
