​When should I call a personal injury attorney

Car accidents are an unfortunate risk we take every time we get behind the wheel of a vehicle. If you happen to be involved in one, you should consider hiring a personal injury lawyer in Lake Charles that will ensure you are justly compensated. 

This article will help you to decide if you need to contact a personal injury attorney. Most personal injury law firms fees are contingency-based, so there is never a disadvantage in at least consulting a personal injury attorney in Lake Charles. So now, let us take a look at the reasons you should contact a personal injury attorney. 

More often than not, accident victims should consider calling a personal injury lawyer in Lake Charles for the following three reasons:
  • Injuries sustained are serious.
  • The pressure to settle the accident in advance of recovery
  • The settlement offer does not fully compensate you for your injuries and losses. 

Serious injuries
Often, car wreck victims do not contact a personal injury lawyer at all. They think their injuries are mild, go away without medical attention, and often forgo a medical evaluation. But gradually, with an increase in pain, they realize that they have underestimated their injuries. These untreated injuries can cause short or long term damage that can linger, causing the injured to unnecessarily live with pain.   

While your injuries may not be severe enough to rush you to an emergency room, you should understand that car accident injury may take a while to develop. Not seeking medical attention immediately following an accident can decrease your chances of getting compensation for the medical claim. 

While you are busy trying to be optimistic about your accident, make sure that you are not causing long term damage to your body. Seeking medical attention following an accident allows a physician to ask questions about the accident, helping determine the appropriate test to ensure you are indeed injury-free. A personal injury attorney in Lake Charles will usually encourage you to seek medical attention for your protection.  

Stress and paperwork
With a car accident comes lots of paperwork. Phone calls and interviews with insurance companies, an ever-increasing pile of forms and affidavits, none of which leave you time to process the accident or begin recovery.  
 
Even if your injuries were not severe, merely navigating the paperwork and phone interviews can be stressful. The opposing insurance company's job is to limit their liability, and their questions are geared to do just that. It is advisable to get the help of a Lake Charles personal injury attorney. Our attorneys are acquainted with the insurance adjusters and lawyers' mode of questioning and can help you avoid pitfalls of the interviewing process. Our injury attorneys Lake Charles act as your representative, take care of the paperwork, filings, work with your medical providers on billing, and call the insurance companies involved in the claim.  

Financial crisis
Yes, accidents are indeed unfortunate, but the trail of events that follow an accident can be even more hapless. The most frustrating of them is the expense. Recovering from a serious car accident can result in tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.   

The accident might not seem very serious at first, but slowly you realize its financial impact. 
There are many types of damages and expenses in a car accident injury:
  • Property damage
  • Medical bills and expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Missed income, past and future

Mentioned above are the most common financial effects of an injury that take a toll on your financial stability. If you have been involved in a  car accident in Lake Charles Louisiana , consider contacting our Lake Charles personal injury attorneys.
