 Posted on October 10, 2024 in Personal Injury

People are injured daily through no fault of their own in a wide variety of incidents, and many of them can obtain compensation through a personal injury claim. Some people wonder if hiring a lawyer is worth it; the answer is yes, it is.

Many challenges can accompany your claim, and a single mistake can be costly. Once we explain some of the benefits of working with an experienced El Paso, TX lawyer from James Kennedy, P.L.L.C., we hope you will call us to schedule your free consultation.

Legal Knowledge

Various laws apply to personal injury and wrongful death cases, differing from state to state. Whether you were injured in a car crash, truck collision, slip and fall accident, or other incidents caused by negligence or an intentional act, you likely do not know the applicable laws and how they apply to your case. Your attorney from James Kennedy, P.L.L.C. does, and we will use that knowledge to build your case, advise you, and protect your best interests.

Investigations and Liability

Most personal injury claims are based on negligence. You need evidence proving that someone’s negligence is the direct cause of your injuries and related damages to hold them accountable financially. Investigations are often necessary to find the proper evidence that establishes liability.

If you are like most people, you do not know what kinds of evidence to look for or where to find it. Even if you did, you probably do not have the time or resources to conduct a thorough investigation. Your lawyer can handle these tasks for you.

Other liability challenges may arise with commercial vehicle or government agency involvement. James Kennedy, P.L.L.C. has those covered, too.

Case Valuation and Negotiating Skills

Injured victims who partner with tough lawyers typically receive substantially higher payouts. If you do not know how to assess your claim’s value, you may not realize that an insurance settlement offer is too low. Your attorney knows what kinds of damages you qualify for and how to put a reasonable dollar amount to your claim. Every case is different, and we cannot tell you how much your case is worth before examining case-specific factors. However, you may collect reimbursement or compensation for losses such as:

• Medical expenses
• Property damage
• Lost wages
• Ongoing care
• A lost ability to enjoy life
• Pain and suffering
• Additional detrimental effects on your quality of life

If you are an eligible survivor of a fatal accident victim, you may receive additional damages by filing a wrongful death action.

If we cannot reach a satisfactory settlement amount through negotiations, we are well-equipped to take your case to trial.

Experience

When you undertake a task for the first time, you are probably unfamiliar with how to proceed to achieve the best outcome. Handling a personal injury claim effectively requires experience. At James Kennedy, P.L.L.C., we have decades of experience handling personal injury matters and will use it to your benefit.
