What Will a New Cassel Brain Injury Lawyer Do for Me?
By managing your entire case for you, your New Cassel, NY brain injury lawyer will relieve you of all the tasks involved in building and resolving the case. You won’t have to worry about any legal matters, so you’ll be able to focus on other matters, like health and family. Your lawyer will do all of the following for you and more:
- Keep you updated about your case: Your lawyer will let you know how your case is progressing. This will help to set your mind at ease.
- Identify liable parties: There may be one party liable for your damages or multiple parties. Additionally, the party involved in your incident may not be the only party liable for your damages. Regardless, your lawyer will identify the liable party or parties, identify how and why they were negligent, and then hold them to account.
- Communicate with all parties for you: Your lawyer will take the calls from the insurance company and any other parties, so you won’t have to talk to them at all. A major benefit of this is that your lawyer will be able to protect your rights. If you speak directly with an insurance carrier, their investigators, and defense lawyers, you may compromise your position without even realizing it. These various parties are typically, “wolves in sheeps’ clothing”. While their demeanor may be friendly and sound caring, their goal is to make sure you recover nothing or as little as possible. To accomplish this they may goad you into making statements that can be used against you.
- Collect evidence for you: Your case needs evidence of your damages and evidence of the other party’s negligence. Such evidence could be your medical bills and any witness statements about your incident, as well as dashcam and surveillance video. Your lawyer will collect all the available, relevant evidence that is required to build a compelling case for you.
- Determine the value of your case: It’s difficult to valuate a case appropriately. To do this, your lawyer will have to give monetary value to your non-monetary damages, like your physical pain as well as your monetary damages, such as lost wages and treatment expenses,
- Negotiate your settlement: Your lawyer will also have to explain the value of your case to the insurance company and prevent the insurer from devaluing your case. Your lawyer will fight for an appropriate settlement even if it means, in some cases, commencing a lawsuit.
- Litigate your case: If the insurer isn’t cooperative, depending upon the unique circumstances of your case, your lawyer will sue and take your case to court. In the courtroom, your lawyer will ask the judge and jury for an appropriate verdict for your case.
