SUMMARY

What to Consider When Deciding to Pursue an Injury Claim

San Francisco Personal Injury Attorneys

You were hurt in a car accident or fell in a retail store. Your spouse became seriously ill because a doctor repeatedly misdiagnosed him or her. Your grandparent suffered a broken arm because the staff at the nursing home used restraints improperly.

Something happened that should not have happened and you or a loved one suffered. Should you call a lawyer?

Not every injury is appropriate for a personal injury lawsuit and some injury claims can be handled relatively quickly without the help of a lawyer. That said, research shows that people receive greater compensation for their injuries when they do work with a law firm – often significantly more.

  • A personal injury lawyer can explain the burden of proof that will be required to bring a successful claim.
  • Because each personal injury lawyer at the Dolan Law Firm has handled many injury cases, he or she will often have insight into the types of injuries that can present unexpected problems later on. Your attorney has access to
    medical experts who are essential to proving the serious nature of an injury so you get fair compensation.
  • Personal injury lawyers also see many different types of accidents so they are aware that sometimes an accident is not as simple it first appears. Law firms often work with
    experienced investigators to identify fault, especially in car accident and truck accident cases.
