How Can Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer Help You?
A skilled personal injury lawyer can be critical in helping accident victims pursue compensation from the party, or parties, responsible for causing the accident. Depending on the nature of your case, your attorney may help you pursue compensation in several ways, such as:

Available 24 / 7|Free Consultation1. Free Consultations
Many personal injury attorneys will offer a free consultation for accident victims to discuss their potential legal options after the incident. During this initial consultation, the lawyer can help the victim determine who may be liable for his or her injuries or damages as well as how much compensation they may be entitled to.
During, or following, this consultation, the victim may officially hire and retain the attorney to handle the injury case, allowing the victim to focus on recovering from any injuries suffered in the accident. If you have been involved in an accident, you should call the skilled team at Zinda Law Group to schedule your own free consultation with an personal injury lawyer near you.

When you have hired an experienced injury lawyer, that person can thoroughly investigate your accident to gather any potential evidence that may help prove the other party’s liability, as well as the full extent of your injuries or damages.
This investigation may include extensive actions such as interviewing potential witnesses to the accident, reviewing pictures or videos of the scene of the accident, and considering any factors that may have played a role in the accident, such as a wet road or objects in the road. Your lawyer may also obtain the police report filed regarding your accident, your medical records, employment records or documents, property damage reports, or accident reconstruction reports.

After conducting an extensive investigation and preparing your case, your accident lawyer may then begin to negotiate with the other party or their insurance company to reach a reasonable settlement agreement and avoid the expenses and delay of taking your case to trial.
Insurance companies almost always have a team of lawyers who are paid to make sure that the company will pay as little as possible to a victim of an accident caused by the insured party. For example, the insurer’s attorneys may attempt to contact the victim immediately after an accident before he or she hires an attorney; they will then attempt to obtain recorded statements from the victim that may jeopardize any later compensation claim.
Hiring an experienced injury lawyer of your own can help level this playing field against the insurance company and their team of lawyers. Your attorney will handle any communications with the insurer and will work to help you prove your case and pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.
Generally, your personal injury lawyer will first submit an initial settlement offer to the insurance company. The insurance company will often reject this initial offer and may instead present a counteroffer. Negotiations sometimes go back and forth between your attorney and the insurance company until an acceptable settlement agreement can be reached; if the insurance company refuses to agree to a reasonable settlement offer, then your attorney may take your case to trial instead.

At trial, your Albuquerque personal injury lawyer will present the evidence gathered during the investigation to prove the other party’s liability for the accident and the full extent of your injuries and damages. Your lawyer will use this evidence to support your claim and prove you are entitled to compensation.
At the conclusion of the trial, the jury will consider the evidence presented by your attorney and the other party and determine whether the other party is liable for the accident, and if so, how much compensation you may be entitled to.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer? Let Zinda Law Group Help
While you may be able to settle some minor injury claims without the assistance of a lawyer, many personal injury cases are best handled by hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer to help you prove liability and pursue maximum compensation. Some of the common signs you need to hire a skilled personal injury lawyer include:
- You suffered serious injuries or damages during the accident
- You do not fully understand your claim and its potential value
- The insurance company is acting in bad faith, such as by causing unnecessary delays or refusing to pay a valid claim
- The other party or their insurance company is claiming that you were responsible or partially responsible for causing the accident
- Your case involves particularly complicated areas of law, such as medical malpractice or a product liability lawsuit that requires expert testimony.
