What Your Hicksville Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
With one of the experienced and dedicated lawyers from our team representing you, you will not have to do anything other than help us identify your damages. Once armed with that information, your assigned lawyer will work on every other detail of your case. There is a lot involved in building and resolving a spinal cord injury case, including the following:
Identifying the Liable Parties
Your lawyer can look into who is responsible for your accident and who is responsible for your damages. One party may not be responsible for both. For example, if a government employee caused your accident, the government, not the employee, may be accountable for your damages. Both parties could be accountable, however. Regardless, your lawyer can identify the liable party or parties and build your case against them.
Collecting Evidence for Your Case
Next, your lawyer can find evidence of the other party’s liability for the accident and your injuries. This evidence could come from any source or multiple sources, such as a witness or the authorities. Your lawyer can also find evidence and proof of your damages, which could come from your doctor or an accident reconstruction expert.
Valuating Your Case
This step can be quite complicated. First, your lawyer will attribute appropriate monetary values to your intangible damages, including your physical, mental, and emotional damages. This will indicate to the at-fault party’s insurance company that these damages are, in fact, legitimate and serious.
Afterward, your lawyer can add the value of your intangible damages to your financial damages. The final number will be the overall value of your case.
Negotiating Your Settlement
The most complicated step in your case may be negotiating with the insurer, especially if they resort to various tactics to try to devalue your damages and diminish your case. However, your lawyer will know how to handle such tactics. If the insurer fails to make an appropriate offer, your lawyer can commence a lawsuit and present your case to a judge and jury in the courthouse. Knowing that we are ready, willing and able to prosecute the case through a trial to a verdict exerts pressure on the insurer to improve their offer.
