Serious injury and medical trauma due to any form of accident or malpractice should get you to make a personal injury claim on the at-fault party.
It is important to hire a licensed and experienced personal injury attorney in such cases to get the most out of the settlement. Most of the time, you will get properly compensated during settlement, as the Bureau of Justice Statistics show that only 3% of cases reach trial.
There are many personal injury attorneys in Boynton Beach Florida. Finding the right one can be a daunting task. At Jesse Davidson, P.A., we have more than a decade of experience in practicing personal injury law. We follow a strategic approach to ensure that you can receive the best possible settlement for your case.
Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
If you think that you can forego the assistance of a personal attorney and try your case on your own, you should know that you don’t have the knowledge or experience to succeed. You will already be under stress dealing with the injury, damages, or loss.
Besides, all studies show that having an attorney on your side helps you win settlements that are several times what insurance companies pay ordinarily without representation.
Hiring the Right Personal Injury Attorney
So how do you choose the best attorney for your case? Look for the following factors to ensure that you are making the right decision.
Consider Experience
Punitive damages, in most cases, are liable to be taxed. These damages are paid by the defendant when it is decided that they conducted in a way that caused you the injury. The goal of these awards is to make an example of the defendant and deter others from following such conduct.
Additional Cases of Taxation
Personal injury law covers a wide spectrum of cases. You should look for a lawyer that is experienced in the type of case you have. The different areas or fields include:
An Example of Taxing Personal Injury Settlement
There are unique challenges to each area of law. If you do not hire the right attorney, it can have an impact on the outcome of the case.
Open Communication
Even if you find the most experienced attorney, a lack of proper and open communication will affect your experience. Keep the following points in mind when evaluating:
- The lawyer and their team must return your phone calls
- They must keep you up-to-date with the proceedings of your case
- They must make the communication terms clear from the very beginning
At Jesse Davidson, P.A., we set the communication terms clear from the very start, including the mode and frequency of contact.
Excellent Reputation
There are many factors that contribute to the reputation of a personal injury attorney. Reputation itself is a sign of the quality of the legal practice. A highly reputed professional in the field will meet the following conditions:
- Vast experience (8+ years)
- A long history of success (countless wins)
- Earned the respect of peers
- Membership to reputed and recognized attorney associations
- Won multiple awards
It is also recommended to check online reviews to get insights into the experiences of past clients with the lawyer.
Cost
The cost of proving your case will depend on the type of personal injury matter involved and the attorney itself. Ask the attorney about how they will charge you. Some of the different types of costs include:
- Filing fee
- Expert witnesses fee
- Travel expenses
- Depositions
With us you pay nothing unless we win. There is no risk.
At Jesse Davidson, P.A., we meet all these conditions to provide reliable and quality legal services to our clients throughout Boynton Beach and all of South Florida.
