How Our Danville Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help

After you or a relative are hurt in an accident, you need to find out whether the accident created a legal claim. Do you have a right to pursue compensation for your injuries? The best way to find out is to hire an experienced accident lawyer in Danville. By hiring Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, you gain a legal advocate who will:

• Investigate: Your Danville accident lawyer will conduct an in-depth investigation into the accident. We will look for evidence that another person was careless, reckless, or malicious, and that this conduct led to your injuries.
• Gather Evidence: Through an investigation, your attorney will gather as much evidence as possible regarding what happened, why, and by who. This entails gathering and analyzing photos, videos, witness testimony, documentation and records, and physical evidence.
• Connect with Legal Resources: Depending on the complexity of your case, your lawyer may need to connect you with legal resources, such as laboratory testing and expert witnesses. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we have made built relationships with many resources, including experts, who can help our clients pursue compensation.
• Communicate with Insurers: Following many types of accidents, your main potential source of compensation is an insurance company. If you were in a car crash, the other driver should have auto insurance. If you slipped and fell at a person’s house, they may have homeowner’s insurance. If you were struck by a falling object from a construction site, the contractors should have a liability policy. Our Danville personal injury lawyers will ensure you file an appropriate insurance claim, and then we will handle all of the communications and paperwork with the insurance adjuster.
• Calculate Damages: To ensure we fight for your full and fair compensation, we must first calculate the value of your physical, psychological, and financial injuries. To begin with, we will add up your economic losses, including your medical expenses, future medical costs, lost income, and any reduced earning capacity. Next, we will determine appropriate values for your non-economic injuries, such as your physical pain and suffering and your emotional distress. Afterwards, we will have a clear picture of what would be an appropriate settlement.
• Negotiate: If the insurance company approves your claim, the next step is settlement negotiations. An insurer’s first offer is almost always low. If we believe you deserve more compensation and can get it, we will recommend rejecting the initial offer and making a demand for a more appropriate settlement. This is the beginning of negotiations.
• Litigate: If the insurer denies your claim, or if settlement negotiations break down, we may recommend pursuing compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Either we will suggest filing a lawsuit now, or we may already have filed at an earlier date in order to obtain more evidence. If we go to trial, a judge or jury will decide whether you should receive compensation, and if so, how much.
