San Diego Personal Injury Attorney

Why use an injury lawyer?

One of the most frequent questions that we come across from our clients is whether they should involve a lawyer. Do they actually need a lawyer to seek financial damages for their injuries? What are the benefits of involving an injury lawyer experienced with these types of claims? Because we at the Law Office of Mark Bush offer a free initial consultation to talk about your San Diego personal injury claim, you have the opportunity to learn more about your particular case and what can be done to address your concerns.

When you call our firm and schedule a free review of your case, we will take the time to talk to you about what happened. We know that every case is different and that every client will have varying concerns and questions. We wish to alleviate whatever stress or other difficulties you are experiencing by providing you with information that applies to your unique case. This can help you make the right choices about your case and can help you determine whether you believe it is in your best interests to work with an attorney at this point in time.

Let's take a brief look at a few of the main ways that a qualified attorney can assist you with your personal injury claim:

Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance providers of all kinds (auto, medical, home, life, etc.) are notoriously difficult to deal with. Though you may have been paying premiums for years, when you finally need their help you may find it tough to recover the compensation you rightfully deserve. This applies in dealing with another party's insurance provider as well. A lawyer can handle all communication with the insurance companies involved in your personal injury claim, protecting your interests and putting pressure where pressure is needed to seek a fair and swift result.

Insurance Bad Faith
When an insurance company acts in bad faith in handling a claim, this is defined as their intentional attempts to find ways to delay or deny fair compensation. They have an obligation to treat claimants, beneficiaries and policyholders in a fair manner, and a failure to do so may actually be a violation of the law. An injury lawyer can help you if you've been victimized by insurance bad faith, helping you take legal action against the at-fault insurance provider. Read more about insurance bad faith.

Protecting Your Rights
You have legal rights if you have been injured. You have the right to seek legal counsel and you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the individual or company that caused your injuries. A lawyer will play a crucial role in asserting and protecting your rights through every single step of your claim or lawsuit, thus granting you better chances at a positive result. Read more about your rights.

Proving Negligence
If you've been injured and wish to sue the responsible party for financial damages, you will need to prove that they are legally accountable. With most personal injury cases, this involves proving the other party's negligence. An attorney will have the resources and know-how to determine and then work to prove negligence, helping you seek the outcome you are hoping for. Read more about proving negligence.

Recovering Maximum Compensation
Though you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries, actually recovering this compensation is another matter. You will need to prove in civil court or during negotiations that you are entitled to compensation and in what amount. Your personal injury lawyer will again play an important role in this, presenting a compelling and clear-cut case on your behalf in order to seek the money you need for medical bills, continued medical treatment, lost earnings and other losses or expenses you are dealing with.
