What Does A Personal Injury Attorney In Auburn Do?

Personal injuries are complex, and filing a claim on your own means that you’ll likely deal with a defense lawyer or insurance companies that want to offer you the lowest settlement possible. If you agree to a settlement, even if it’s far below the true value of your injuries or losses, it’s a legally binding contract.

A personal injury attorney will:

Walk you through the claims process step-by-step
Advise you on whether a settlement is in your best interest or not
Negotiate on your behalf with attorneys and/or insurance companies
Determine the value of your injury and even bring in experts to determine how the injuries will impact your life

As your attorney, we’ll leverage Alabama law to seek the maximum settlement possible in your case. If a settlement cannot be made, we’ll be more than happy to fight for you in the court of law.

What Types Of Personal Injury Cases We Can Help With

At the Carmichael Law Group, we protect people across Auburn and fight to help them receive the maximum compensation possible for their claims. We help people just like you with personal injuries involving:

Car Accidents

Automobile accidents quickly upend a person’s life, and even when the fault is clearly the other driver’s, insurance companies will offer a low settlement because it’s in their best interest. We’ll negotiate with insurance companies and advocate for the compensation you deserve.

Dog Bites

Dog owners are liable if their dog bites another person. Bites can be serious, causing broken bones, infections and even disfigurement. We’ll work to show the true extent of the damages sustained and prove that the owner was negligent or should have known that their pet was dangerous.

Slips and Falls

A form of premises liability, owners of any premises must maintain reasonable care to anyone on the premises when the injured party provides a material benefit to the owner. For example, if you slip and fall at the local hardware store due to a known leak, the owner may be liable for your damages.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck accidents are complex cases. An attorney will help you hold one or more parties liable for your injuries. Responsible parties may be the driver, an employer, a mechanic, a manufacturer or other parties.

Why You Should Hire An Attorney for Your Personal Injury Claim

Personal injury cases are lengthy, time-consuming and complex. An experienced personal injury attorney can simplify the process and help you achieve the best possible outcome.

An attorney can:

Help you understand the process and your options
Build a strong case to support your claim
Handle stressful negotiations with the insurance company
Fight for a fair settlement and ensure you don’t settle for anything less than you deserve

If you or a loved one were injured in an accident, you don’t have to go through the claims process alone. An experienced attorney can help you navigate every step, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

How To Choose A Personal Injury Lawyer

When choosing a personal injury lawyer, there are several important things to consider, including:

Experience with personal injury cases. Do they focus on personal injury? Have they handled cases involving your type of injury? A lawyer with relevant experience will know how to overcome challenges and build a strong case for your claim.
A history of success. A track record of successful claims is a good sign that they get results for clients.
Communication. Does the lawyer take the time to answer your questions and explain things in a way that’s easy to understand? Will they keep you updated on the progress of your case and return your calls or messages in a timely manner? You want a lawyer who will give you and your case the time and attention it deserves.

Additionally, don’t overlook the importance of personality fit. Your lawyer should be trustworthy and someone you feel comfortable with.

How the Case Process Works

Every personal injury claim should start with a consultation with a lawyer. Personal injury law is complex, and filing a claim on your own can be stressful. An attorney can help you build a strong case, negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf and ensure that you file your claim before the two-year statute of limitations runs out.

While every attorney will have their own processes, personal injury cases generally follow the steps below.

1. Investigation

One of the first things your personal injury attorney will do is conduct an investigation into the accident and gather evidence, including:

Police reports
Witness statements
Photos of the accident scene
Surveillance footage
Medical records

Once your attorney has gathered evidence and calculated your losses (current and future), settlement negotiations can begin.

2. Demand Letter

To begin the negotiation process, your lawyer will take all of the substantial evidence gathered and organize it into a demand letter.

The letter will outline:

The severity of your injuries
The costs associated with your treatment
Any other losses you’ve incurred as a result of the accident

The demand letter is the first settlement offer sent to the insurance company, and negotiations are likely to follow.

Your attorney will continue to negotiate on your behalf and fight for a fair settlement.

The insurance company may try to deny your claim or offer a low-ball settlement to protect their bottom line. We’ll work even harder to prove that your injuries were the result of negligence and that you are entitled to compensation for your losses.

Fortunately, most personal injury cases are settled at this stage. Both parties come to an agreement and avoid a courtroom trial.

3. Filing a Lawsuit

If you cannot come to a fair settlement, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit to pursue the compensation you deserve.

Your attorney will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of filing a lawsuit.
