Personal Injury Law
Personal injury law is a complex field and can involve a variety of challenges. The process of filing for personal injury compensation can be stressful and time-consuming for claimants. Personal injury lawyers can keep their clients informed throughout the claims process and, above all, ensure they receive fair compensation.
What Is A Personal Injury?
A personal injury involves physical and/or psychological harm that has occurred while at a workplace, in a motor vehicle, or as a result of a crime. Personal injuries often occur as a result of negligence or carelessness. They can also incorporate harm that has been inflicted during a medical or dental procedure.
There are many complex legal processes surrounding personal injury law. As well as this, claimants need to endure the challenges of dealing with insurance companies. The physical and emotional stress caused by personal injuries can compound the difficulties surrounding the claims process.
How Does A Personal Injury Claim Work?
A personal injury claim can result in compensation for the affected victim. This compensation can cover losses such as medical expenses, time off work, damages, or compensation for pain and suffering. The compensation granted will depend on a variety of factors, such as the extent of injuries, the nature of the incident, and the claimant’s age and circumstances.
The personal injury claims process can be time-consuming and complex. When you work with our lawyers at Maguire & McInerney, we will start by assessing your case to determine whether you have a valid claim.
Next, we will spend time thoroughly assessing your situation so we can formulate the best approach for making a claim. This will include gathering evidence to support your case and strengthen your claim. After we have gathered the relevant evidence and completed your paperwork, we will submit your claim to the insurer.
If the insurer accepts your claim, they will grant you a settlement payment. As your personal insurance lawyers, we will advise you on what a reasonable settlement should be and whether or not you should accept the settlement payment. In some cases, claimants are not awarded sufficient compensation. In this scenario, you can pursue legal action. We will represent you and we have many years experience in negotiating and achieving satisfactory results for our clients. If necessary, we will represent you in court.
