The attorneys at Lynch Law Firm, PC can also consult expert medical witnesses who can speak to the extent and impact of your injury. This can be a crucial part of determining the full value of your case.

Determining the Fair Value of Your Claim

Valuing a personal injury claim is very difficult, as each situation has many unique factors to consider. Most people do not have any idea how to accurately value a personal injury claim, beyond adding up the costs of their medical bills or property damage.

We have helped many injury victims recover the fair compensation they deserve. We understand how to analyze the factors in a case to determine the damages suffered and the fair amount of compensation owed to the victim.

Communicating with Insurance Companies

When a personal injury occurs, the first course of action is typically to pursue a settlement from the at-fault party’s insurance company. Adjusters may be sent to inspect vehicle damage in the case of an automobile accident, and the insurance company will have questions for you.

Dealing with the insurance company can be quite stressful, especially after a serious injury. The insurance company’s focus is on not paying anything or paying the least possible amount of compensation, not serving your best interests. It is extremely helpful to have someone on your side who is experienced in working with insurance companies and knows how to defend your best interests.

Your personal injury attorney can handle communication with the insurance company, relieving this burden for you. If you are required to give a statement or deposition to the insurance company, your lawyer can explain how to defend your best interests and avoid hurting your claim with the statements you provide.

We can also take care of negotiations with the insurance company for a settlement of your claim. We will draft a demand letter explaining the damages you suffered and their value. From there, we may have to go back and forth with the insurance company until they agree to a fair offer that provides the compensation you deserve.

Applying Knowledge of the Law

The experienced attorneys at our firm know the law and how to apply laws to your claim to try to prove negligence. Without a detailed knowledge of the law, it can be difficult to establish negligence.

Knowledge of the law includes knowledge of deadlines for filing lawsuits, which documents need to be filed and other steps that need to be taken in pursuit of the justice and compensation you deserve.

If we cannot obtain fair compensation from the insurance company, we may need to file a lawsuit. We understand this makes people anxious, but the good news is we can manage the process. We will explain what you can expect and how you can help us.

One of the advantages of having an attorney with courtroom experience is that it can motivate insurance companies to settle. They will know you are serious because you have retained an attorney who has gone to court to recover fair compensation.
