Most people are tempted to resolve conflicts that involve personal injuries themselves and that might be a good option if the conversation is happening between friends. However, if you have a grievance against your boss or a stranger, or even a distant acquaintance, you might need a legal opinion.
At Kahn Roven, LLP, we always encourage our customers to hire a personal injury attorney, even when the problem exists between friends. Here are some questions you should ask yourself before you make your decision:
- Do you need compensation for your injuries?
If you want compensation for your injuries, you need to hire a professional to provide legal advice.If you intend to let the matter go and don’t require compensation, you can simply discuss the situation with the opposing party and sign an agreement. We still recommend that you get a formal opinion from an experienced professional.
- Do you have long term injuries?
Compensation for long term injuries like permanent damage to your body that results in an inability to work, should be calculated carefully. The compensation should provide some form of financial support over the long-term. A personal injury law firm in Los Angeles will have all the experience and information they need to determine the compensation and understand how much you can get from the liable party. They will handle the negotiations and counteract any arguments made by the opposing party to weaken your position.
- Is liability in question?
It’s easy to dismiss the importance of legal opinion if the liability is clear and you know it’s not your fault. However, if you’re not certain about the liability, you need a professional opinion to determine who’s responsible for the injury. Personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles will collect evidence, speak with witnesses, and build a case to clear you of any liability. This will strengthen your case and ensure the opposing council can’t undermine your interests by pinning the fault on you.
- Do you intend to go to court?
If you intend to go to court, you need a lawyer. They will be aware of the legal proceedings and paperwork required. They’ll also know how to argue the case in court and ensure your position is strong. Lawyers will also gather evidence to support your case and ensure you’re not taken advantage of.
