Why Handling Your Own LA Personal Injury Case is a Mistake

Whenever you get into a LA personal injury accident, you have a lot of options– you can call the best Los Angeles personal injury lawyer you can find, you can do nothing or you can try to handle your case on your own.

Waiting too long or intentionally doing nothing means that all the financial and physical issues you are now dealing with as a result of your accident are now something you will have to pay for rather than hold the other side financially responsible. Clearly, this is not a good idea…but what about trying to handle your LA personal injury case on your own? Here’s why that’s almost always a bad idea

Pros and Cons of Handling Your Own Personal Injury Case

Why would someone choose not to hire a lawyer following their car crash, pedestrian accident or slip and fall? Usually the decision to try to handle things on your own is for one of two reasons: you want to avoid paying a lawyer or you received a settlement offer from the other side already and want to accept it and be done with things. Here’s why you should consider working with Walch Law following a Los Angeles personal injury or death:

• You will end up with more money in the end: Yes, lawyers charge money but what they also do is work aggressively for you and maximizing your settlements so what ends up happening is that even after attorneys’ fees (usually around 33% of total), you STILL end up with more money and isn’t that the goal after all?
• Save yourself the legal headache: Trying to handle conversations and negotiations with insurance companies can be exhausting, especially as you are trying to manage your own physical and emotional recovery following an accident. Insurance companies are not there to help you, they are trying to protect their business by getting you to settle for as little as possible which means that you might be taking on a major headache by doing this on your own. Personal injury cases are complicated and even more so when there are disputes about liability or multiple parties involved, a top LA personal injury lawyer will know how to handle things.
• Medical liens: Accidents are expensive and many personal injury victims are compelled to accept a lowball settlement offer because they can’t afford the care they need now. We get it and at Walch Law, we have a large network of doctors and other medical providers we work with on medical liens which means that you can get the care you need now and pay later.
