The Benefits of Having a Lawyer Handle Your Insurance Negotiations

Why You Should Consider Professional Legal Assistance in Insurance Matters

Maximizing Your Settlement with Expert Legal Support

When you’re involved in a legal situation where insurance claims are necessary—be it auto accidents, personal injuries, or property damage—the process of negotiating with insurance companies can be daunting and complex. Many individuals attempt to handle these negotiations on their own, but there are significant benefits to having an experienced lawyer manage your insurance negotiations. Here’s why you should consider hiring a professional like Ehrlich & Naparstek Personal Injury Lawyers to guide you through this intricate process.

Expertise in Insurance Law and Regulations

Insurance policies and the laws governing them are complex and frequently updated. Professional lawyers are not only familiar with the legal landscape but are also adept at interpreting and applying these laws to benefit their clients. They can identify clauses and exclusions in insurance policies that are often overlooked but can have substantial implications on your claim.

Leveling the Playing Field

Insurance companies have vast resources and experienced legal teams dedicated to minimizing what they pay out on claims. By hiring a lawyer, you level the playing field. Attorneys like those at Ehrlich & Naparstek Personal Injury Lawyers are equipped to go toe-to-toe with these legal teams, ensuring that your interests are robustly represented and defended.

Increasing Your Compensation

Statistically, claimants who hire a lawyer receive more favorable settlements or awards than those who do not. A lawyer knows how to accurately value a claim based on the nuances of the case, including understanding how to quantify non-economic damages like pain and suffering, which are often undervalued by insurance adjusters.

No Upfront Costs

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you receive a settlement or a court award. This arrangement motivates your lawyer to obtain the best possible settlement for you. Moreover, it removes any financial risk from you as the client, since you don’t pay any upfront fees.

Saving Time and Reducing Stress

Handling insurance negotiations can be incredibly time-consuming and stressful. With a lawyer by your side, much of the burden is lifted as they handle the bulk of the work. This includes gathering evidence, filling out complex paperwork, and communicating with insurance adjusters. This allows you to focus on recovery and other personal priorities.

Professional Negotiation Skills

Lawyers are trained negotiators. They use their skills to argue your case effectively in a way that maximizes your claim’s value. Their experience with the tactics used by insurance companies also means they can counteract attempts to devalue your claim.

important PERSONAL INJURY FAQ

vision makes us who we are

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is four years from the date of the injury. This means that if you've been injured, you have four years to initiate legal proceedings. If you fail to file your lawsuit within this time frame, you may lose your right to seek compensation.

How is fault determined in Florida auto accidents?

Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system. This means that after most traffic accidents, your own insurance policy will compensate you for medical expenses and lost income, irrespective of who was at fault. However, in severe injury cases, you might be able to step outside this no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

What is Florida's comparative negligence rule?

Florida follows a pure comparative negligence rule. If you're found to be partially at fault for your injury, your compensation may be reduced by a percentage equal to your share of the blame. For instance, if you're found to be 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your total damages.

What damages can I recover in a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

In Florida, you can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include tangible costs like medical bills and lost wages, while non-economic damages cover intangibles like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

How long does it typically take to settle a personal injury case in Florida?

The duration varies based on the complexity of the case, the parties involved, and the evidence. While some cases might settle quickly, others, especially those that go to trial, can take months or even years to resolve.

How much will it cost me to hire a personal injury attorney?

We operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that we only get paid if you win your case or secure a settlement. Typically, the fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Florida?

First, prioritize your safety and seek medical attention. Then, if possible, document the scene, take photographs, gather witness information, and report the incident to the police or relevant authorities. It's also advisable to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

What if the person who hit me doesn't have insurance?

If you're hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver in Florida, you can turn to your own insurance policy's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This coverage can help compensate for your injuries and damages.

How do I prove pain and suffering in a personal injury case?

Pain and suffering are subjective and can be challenging to quantify. Evidence such as medical records, therapy sessions, personal journals, and testimonies from friends and family can help establish the extent of your pain and suffering.
