(314) 500-HURTAccidents can happen, and with the many dangers in daily life, most people will experience at least one serious injury
during their lifetimes. From broken bones to traumatic brain injuries, complications can arise from any
number of accidents that can occur at home, at work, in a vehicle, or even while out shopping. In order to ensure that
medical bills are paid and pain and suffering are minimized, it is crucial to have the best personal injury attorneys fighting on the victim’s side.
Have you been injured in an accident? You may be unsure what services to expect from a personal injury
lawyer, especially if you’ve never worked with one before. Here are three things you should expect from the
personal injury attorneys after any kind of devastating accident:
1. Experience:
The best personal injury attorneys should have experience in handling accident cases, and they should also have past
successes to show for their clients. Consider this: in 2012, there were around 2.09 million car accident
injuries in the United States, and more than 21,000 passenger vehicle occupants lost their lives that year
— around 4,000 of which were in semi truck
accidents. Each year in the U.S., more than five million auto accidents occur, and there are between 44,000
and 98,000 deaths due to medical malpractice in hospitals. No matter which type of case you are fighting, there should
be a chance that your attorney has experience in these types of civil suits.
2. Dedication:
Everyone knows that most personal injury lawyers have considerable caseloads as they assist
accident victims over the course of many months. However, that shouldn’t make you feel like you aren’t a valued client,
and you should be able to get the attention you need from a dedicated law firm staff. The best
personal injury lawyers should be reasonably available by phone or email when you have
questions, and they should be able to walk you through your case, from filing your claims to appearing in court, if
necessary.
3. Compassion:
Going through a life-threatening accident can be a terrifying situation for anyone, and there are more hardships than
dealing with mounting medical bills debt. You may be working with an attorney to find ways to prove emotional distress,
especially if the accident has had a significant impact on your quality of life. You’ll need a lawyer who will be
understanding in terms of what you are going through and tough on those who are responsible.
Above all, make sure to communicate your expectations to your St Louis injury attorney before you begin
working together. This can help ensure the best possible outcome and make sure there are no surprises along the way.
