The Benefits of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer imageFacing the fallout from a personal injury can feel like battling a storm with no shelter. But what if you could turn the tide in your favor? Engaging a personal injury attorney to represent your interests is the first step toward reclaiming control and obtaining the financial restitution necessary to recoup your medical expenses, lost wages, and other unforeseen costs. The experienced Indiana personal injury lawyers at Custy Law Firm | Accident & Injury Lawyers will fight relentlessly for your rights, leveraging our knowledge, years of experience, and compassion to ensure that you are not only heard but also compensated for your suffering and losses. In this post, we will explain more about the benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer.

What Exactly Do Personal Injury Lawyers Do?

A personal injury lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have suffered injuries due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. The attorney’s primary role is to advocate for you to get appropriate compensation, either through settlement negotiations or by filing suit in court.

Some benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer are overseeing all aspects of your claim, including:

  • Investigating accidents
  • Examining witnesses
  • Negotiating with insurance companies, as well as with their lawyers and adjusters
  • Hiring experts
  • Filing a lawsuit

Dealing with Insurance Companies

One of the most crucial jobs of a personal injury lawyer is negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf. These companies are businesses, and their primary goal is to maximize profits by minimizing payouts. They employ teams of lawyers and adjusters whose sole purpose is to deny or undervalue claims. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney helps level the playing field by letting you negotiate with these big companies from a position of strength and confidence.

Custy Law Firm | Accident & Injury Lawyers has seen and understands all of the strategies and tactics the big insurance companies use. We know how to fight back effectively and can provide you with legal advice. Our team also has access to resources such as expert witnesses and accident reconstruction specialists. By more accurately valuing the extent of your injuries and other losses, your lawyer can ensure that the offers from an insurance company better reflect the true cost of your accident, including future medical care, lost earning potential, and unforeseen consequences.

Are Personal Injury Lawyers Worth It?

The short answer is yes. Even if you believe your personal injury case is straightforward, it’s always better to seek legal representation. Furthermore, personal injury law is complex, and there are many pitfalls that can derail a case if you try to go it on your own. The top-notch team at Custy Law Firm | Accident & Injury Lawyers can help you avoid these pitfalls and allow you to focus on recovering from your injury while we work on securing your rights.

We also have a deep understanding of the law and can help you maximize your recovery. Studies show that people who hire attorneys after an accident recover more money than those who don’t.
Our experience in handling personal injury claims throughout Indiana means we know what types of damages you may be entitled to, such as lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Consequently, without our legal representation, you’re less likely to know all the compensation for your injuries.

Understanding How Contingency Fees Work

The Benefits of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer image 2One of the most compelling reasons to hire a personal injury lawyer is that most, including Custy Law Firm | Accident & Injury Lawyers, work on a contingency fee basis. This means we only get paid if you win your case. The fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or court award. This arrangement instantly aligns your lawyer’s interests with your own: we have a stake in securing the most appropriate verdict or settlement.

This fee structure also makes legal representation accessible if you think you might not be able to afford an attorney otherwise. You will not incur any upfront costs; we will deduct all legal fees from your final compensation, thus minimizing your financial risk.

To some they would think my case as minimal. Custy Law Firm treated me with the most respect and consideration. Thank you CLF.

- Jenne C.

I originally tried to use our legal counsel from my union. I was getting lowball offers, and after I refused to accept their offer, I was fired by my very own attorney. I was scared out of my mind not only for myself but my family. I was lucky enough to use Brian Custy, after a hard 3 week trial . . . we ended up winning my case and won well into the six figures. I would highly recommend Brian, and I am now proud to call him my friend.

- RYAN D.

My experience with The Custy Law Firm has been nothing short of fantastic. I knew very little after PA school regarding the reading, understanding, and negotiating of contracts when accepting a job position. Brian was professional and prompt in reviewing my contract and making sure I understood the terms and conditions within it, as well as any points to negotiate. He has been a great resource. I will be sure to utilize his firm in the future should there be any need.
