At Burnett Law in Crossville, Tennessee, we know how complex personal injury cases can be, and that is why our firm has it down to a science with knowing who needs to be called and what needs to be done. Personal accident and injury cases are often made up of so many moving parts. For example: negotiating with car insurances, negotiating with health insurances, contacting medical centers, dealing with Medicare, and knowing who to give money to and what paperwork is needed—just to name a few. Sometimes there is so much money spent in simply communicating with these providers. But Burnett Law has made the process more efficient and therefore less of a hassle for our clients. With all the communication and negotiation it is easy to make a mistake which is why the way Burnett Law handles and manages car accident and personal injury claims is a huge advantage to your case.
So how does an attorney help settle a personal injury case? Here are a few advantages an attorney can bring to your case:
An Attorney Can Estimate How Much You Are Owed for Your Case
To start you will need to know how much you are suing for. You might not know how much you have actually suffered in damages. You may know how much loss in wages you are missing or how much your medical bills are. But do you know how much future medical bills you may have? Or do you know how much pain and suffering you have endured? Here are a few ways an attorney is able to calculate to achieve a fair estimate for your settlement:
- Consult with professional experts.
An attorney will often communicate with professional experts in the medical fields for estimates on medical treatments, and an attorney will often communicate with economists to ensure a fair projection of costs you may or may have incurred.
- Calculate your estimate.
An attorney will often complete calculations in order to add your bills, invoices, and any damages you may have incurred otherwise.
- Compare estimates from other cases.
Most importantly, an attorney can compare your estimate to other settlements from their experience to ensure you are receiving a fair amount.
- Estimate your fault amounts.
Because Tennessee is a fault-state, an attorney will want to ensure you are within percentages that do not bar you from recovery
- Review records.
An attorney will want to review many of your records like medical, employment, and insurance in order to ensure you are receiving the fullest settlement you can.
An Attorney Can Negotiate for You
The negotiation process alone can be a daunting one. However, an attorney with experience in negotiating with insurance providers and adjusters can go a long way. Insurance companies may not have your best interest in mind, so having an attorney who can negotiate directly with them can protect you and your interests.
An Attorney Can Build a Strong Case for You
An attorney should have your best interest in mind. In doing so, an attorney will investigate and build your case with evidence to prove you should be compensated. Some information an attorney may use to build you case is:
- A police report from the accident
- Statements from witnesses or other parties
- Statements from professional experts
- Your bills from your injuries and any ongoing treatment
- Your medical records and any supplemental information from a doctor
- Photos from the scene of the car accident
