Common Myths and Misconceptions Attributed to Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer
Many people shy away from using attorney services due to some common myths and misconceptions.Â
• Victims for personal injury cases do not need a lawyer when filing their claimÂ
This myth is misleading considering that persons with injuries after an accident may not be in a position to defend himself or herself. Severe injuries may also delay filing by the statute of limitations deadline in the absence of a lawyer. In the cases of minor injuries, you stand to have a better defense with an attorney to ensure that you can argue your case well to receive adequate compensation. Whichever way the case seems, an attorney is in a better position to handle your case.Â
• There is no need for an attorney for individuals suffering from minor injuriesÂ
It is important to note that an injury arising from negligence of another party, should be addressed by legal counsel. Nothing is considered too small or too minor where negligence is a factor. Keep in mind that some individuals may suffer from minor injuries but incur property damages, which must also be considered. Â
• Attorneys are too expensive for no just reasonÂ
This myth is false. Attorneys claim fees according to the weight of a case. In other cases, an attorney will claim their fee after completion of the case and mostly after winning the claim. This assumption is therefore wrong and should not be an excuse to take on a legal battle without a lawyer. Â
