What if you cannot go to work because of the injuries suffered? If you have been injured in an accident, any type of accident, and you have sustained serious bodily injury, hiring a lawyer can help how your case should be filed against the defendant. There are two options a victim of an accident can take when dealing with the case. You could work with the other party's lawyers, which puts yourself at a major disadvantage, or you could hire a lawyer of your own who will explain everything that is happening as well as handle everything in the case and take it out of your hands. By hiring your own lawyer to represent you in an accident case you are removing the possibility of being taken advantage of by the other party's lawyers. If you have been involved in an accident and are the victim, hiring a lawyer will help to relieve some of the stress associated with the trauma of an accident.

Representing yourself or working with the other party's lawyers in an accident case can be detrimental to your case and to your efforts of obtaining as much money as possible to help pay for medical bills and damages incurred from the accident. The insurance company will keep you waiting for your money for as long as possible because it is in their best interest to do so. Also, the insurance company will not owe you another dime if you accept a settlement from them. What if your injury begins to flare up two years from now? What do you do? Hiring a lawyer will help you with the following:

• Bring in their own investigators

• Preserve evidence

• Take statements

• Take photos

• Hire experts

• practical results and professionalism

It does not matter what type of accident you were involved in, hiring your own attorney to represent you in your suit can take all of the pressure off the victim, who can now focus on making a full recovery from the injuries sustained. Using a lawyer from a trusted law firm will make the process so much easier than using a lawyer from an unknown law firm. Lawyers are not a dime a dozen, like the saying goes, so picking the right lawyer can mean the difference between winning and losing your case. Hiring an attorney will cost anywhere from $100-$250 per hour, but the majority of that money can be reimbursed if you win the case, with the money coming from the defendant in the case.

A good attorney will be able to help you win an accident case that has kept you out of work for an extended period of time. The attorney can help you acquire money for medical bills, repair bills, insurance bills, lost income, pain and suffering and emotional distress. The lawyer will also recommend taking the lawsuit to court or settling out of court if the defendant's lawyer offers a decent amount of money for the settlement.
