The Role of a Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal injury lawyers specialize in tort law, which covers all civil litigation for injuries or wrongdoings resulting from negligence. The primary goal of a personal injury lawyer is to make the injured party (the plaintiff) whole again and to discourage others from committing a similar offense.

What Does A Personal Injury Lawyer Do During A Case Evaluation?

Personal injury lawyers begin by evaluating your case to determine the merits of your claim. They review the details of the accident, the extent of your injuries, and any potential legal hurdles. This initial consultation, which Appalachian Injury Lawyer offers for free, is crucial for setting the stage for your claim.

Representation in Negotiations

Most personal injury cases are settled before going to trial. Your lawyer will represent you in negotiations with the defendant’s insurance company, striving to secure a fair settlement that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Litigation

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your personal injury lawyer will represent you in court. This involves preparing legal documents, presenting evidence, and arguing your case before a judge or jury.
