Contemplating Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney? These Are the Reasons You Should

It’s true that there’s no personal injury attorney in the world who can erase the pain you’ve been through, the trauma of the accident you survived, or the difficulty of having handled the expenses that have already come up. However, we can be your advocate. We can help ensure that the negligent party is held accountable and that you get the compensation you deserve. Read on to learn more about how we will tirelessly advocate for you and then reach out to Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free consultation.

We will protect your rights

Most people know about their basic Constitutional rights, including freedom of speech. However, they don’t know about rights such as their right to expect that others will act in a non-reckless or negligent way. In lawyer speak, this is known as legal duty. This protects you from sustaining an injury due to someone else’s negligence and gives you rights to be compensated if you are injured.

Let’s consider one example to be outline the right. Let’s say that a person is walking down the street when a driver, who is distracted by their cell phone, accidently swerves and hits them. This driver is at fault because they were not doing their legal duty to keep people around them safe. In this case, the person who was hit would need a pedestrian accident attorney to help them get the compensation they deserve.

We will do our best to protect you from the wrongful party

The person who was at fault for the accident is generally referred to as the wrongful party. They may be dishonest during your case, in an effort to not have to pay damages and to not be responsible for their actions.

One of the things they may do is to try and convince you to take a settlement without getting attorneys involved. Whether they offer you a lump sum or payments over a period of time, their goal is to pay less than they’d have to pay if you hired an attorney. Remember that when the case is settled, you’re then unable to sue in the future. You give up the right for future lawsuits. As a result, it’s essential that you get the highest possible settlement initially.

We will take on the expense of your lawsuit

It’s not uncommon for a victim to simply accept a payment because they don’t have the money to pursue a lawsuit. The good news is that at Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas we understand that this is a hardship. When you call us at 909-982-0707, we’ll start with a free consultation. We will get the basic information about your accident and give you specific options to move forward.

If we decide to work together, then we will take on all costs for your case. You won’t pay a cent – including our attorney fees – until you recover compensation for your case. There’s no risk to you because if we don’t win your case for you, then we don’t get paid. Call us today at 909-982-0707 to learn more.
