Dekalb County Personal Injury Lawyer

Injuries from an accident are never planned. Recovering from a personal injury can take weeks, months or years depending on their severity and whether proper medical care was received after the accident occurred. Physical healing is only one aspect of your full recovery from personal injuries. You may also be facing many other kinds of damages from the accident, including significant medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, physical disfigurement, physical therapy, loss of companionship and more. Worst of all, you may not share any responsibility for the accident occurring.

During your recovery from a personal injury you may or may not receive financial compensation from your claim with an insurance provider. The amount of compensation you receive rests on the severity of your damages and the degree to which the defendant was negligent (whether intentional or not). Whether or not you receive compensation may also be dependent on if you were represented by a Dekalb personal injury lawyer.

However, in many cases, insurance companies will significantly reduce the amount of money you receive for your personal injury claim no matter the degree of their client’s negligence. Powerful insurance companies might even use forceful or deceptive means to gain evidence against you, including surreptitiously gathering written or verbal statements that can be used to deny or limit your settlement amount. Fortunately, a Dekalb County personal injury lawyer can protect you from these types of tactics.
