Frequently Asked Questions About Personal
Injury Law and Lawsuits |
|
- 8. Do I need a lawyer? Why don’t I just contact the defendants
and work it out with their insurance company?
|
It is usually both impossible and
inadvisable to try to resolve an accident case involving catastrophic
injuries or a death on your own. The accident may involve multiple parties
and complex questions concerning what happened, who was legally responsible,
and how the matter should be resolved. Not only legal experts (attorneys),
but also medical and accident reconstruction specialists working on your
behalf, are critical to properly evaluate the case and advise you of
your rights. Without these experts, you may never know what really happened,
or the true value of your case.
It is important to understand that corporations and their insurers employ
the services of expert lawyers that seek to avoid responsibility or at
least to minimize the payments that will be made to the victims and families.
In contrast, our duty is to identify all responsible parties and maximize
the compensation that can be obtained. Only established firms like Lieff
Cabraser have the staying power to investigate these complex cases thoroughly,
and to send a message to the defendants that they will not be able to
hide their misconduct from you. |

| The law of most states
protects persons injured by the wrongful conduct
of another or by products that were defectively
designed, manufactured or labeled. A personal injury
lawsuit may be filed for pain and suffering caused
by the wrongful conduct or the faulty product. |
