Unfortunately, after being hurt in the types of accidents mentioned above, some victims choose to forgo legal representation and try to handle their cases themselves. However, we advise against this for several reasons.

Personal injury law is incredibly involved and complex, and in order to obtain the compensation you deserve, you may need to be skilled in a variety of ways. The average civilian doesn’t possess the knowledge or legal prowess to take on these responsibilities, which could ultimately cost him or her the ability to collect compensation.

But a San Antonio injury attorney will be able to guide you through this process. First, your lawyer will make sure all necessary documents and paperwork are filed on time and in accordance with Texas laws. This will ensure your case isn’t dismissed based on filing errors alone.

Next, your attorney will handle all communications with the insurance company. This is helpful for two primary reasons. For one, it ensures that you don’t accidentally say the wrong thing, making yourself liable for your injuries. Second, it will allow you to focus on your recovery rather than dealing with the stress of dealing with insurers, whose primary goal is to protect their bottom line.

Finally, allowing your lawyer to handle the insurers will help ensure that all the damages you are eligible to collect, both now and in the future, are included in your claim.
