When do you need a Benton County personal injury lawyer to file a case?

Taking on an insurance company without an Albany personal injury lawyer is like David taking on Goliath. In the story, David won, but in the everyday world, things usually do not work out too well for David. Insurance companies earn over $1 trillion a year. So, they have the means to hire high-priced lawyers, many of whom charge more than $1,000 an hour. This expensive price tag also works against insurance companies. Legal bills add up quickly for stingy insurance companies. So, while they have the will to fight claims for a while, this will quickly fade. In contrast, an Albany personal injury attorney is with you until the end of the line. Our team doesn’t relent until we obtain the best possible results under the circumstances.

Q: How do I know I have a case?

Generally, only a doctor can diagnose a medical illness, and only an Albany personal injury attorney can tell if you have a case. Usually, if a breach of duty causes injury, the victim is eligible for compensation. Most drivers have a duty of reasonable care. Likewise, most property owners have a duty of reasonable care. Aggressive driving, like speeding, and motorist impairment, like excessive fatigue, breach the duty of care. Property owners usually breach their duty of care if they know, or should know about, a hazard. To find out for sure if you have a case, reach out to a lawyer quickly. Victims have a limited amount of time to act.

Q: My insurance agent says I need to settle now. What should I do?

All insurance agents usually say the same thing. Like most victims, insurance agents are eager to close their files and move on. However, unlike most victims, insurance agents care nothing about maximum compensation. In fact, to protect their company’s profits, they generally urge victims to accept minimum compensation. You have no legal duty to immediately accept or reject a settlement proposal. So, allow our Albany personal injury lawyers to evaluate your case and determine how much compensation you may be entitled to. Typically, victims only get one chance to settle their cases for a fair amount. We urge you not to throw away that chance.

Q: What are some examples of personal injury claims?

Vehicle collisions kill or seriously injure millions of Americans every year. These crashes usually are not “accidents.” People accidentally leave the lights on. They do not accidentally drive drunk and cause wrecks. We believe that these tortfeasors (negligent drivers) should take responsibility for their mistakes, just like the rest of us. Falls are the leading cause of Emergency Room visits in the United States. Much like vehicle collisions, these incidents often cause serious injuries that are usually fatal or permanent. Also like in vehicle collisions, falls usually aren’t accidents. Property owner negligence, like failing to clean up a wet spot on a floor or fix a loose handrail, usually causes such injuries.

Q: How long does a personal injury case take?

If all issues in the case are perfectly clear, your personal injury claim could settle within weeks. However, almost nothing in life is perfectly clear. That includes the issues in a personal injury claim. Insurance companies often use legal loopholes, like comparative fault, to deny liability. This doctrine shifts blame for an accident from the tortfeasor to the victim. Additionally, many insurance companies don’t use the facts of a case to determine compensation. Instead, they use statistical tables which do not account for the victim’s unique situation. Because the two sides are so far apart, settlement negotiations could drag on. In these situations, judges usually appoint third-party mediators who meet with both sides and help them reach agreements.

Corvallis, OR, Personal Injury Lawyer

For many people, a serious personal injury is only the beginning of an endless downward spiral. Many general practice doctors lack experience with whiplash and other injury-related conditions. Furthermore, many Benton County hospitals do not have advanced trauma centers. Since diagnosis and treatment problems delay recovery, many victims get worse instead of better. At the same time, since these victims cannot work, unpaid medical and other bills pile up.

So, it is very tempting to accept the insurance company’s preliminary settlement offer and try to move on with life. However, at this point, there is simply no way to determine if an offer is fair or unfair.

The dedicated Corvallis personal injury lawyers at Strong Law know how to reverse this downward spiral and put victims on the road to full recovery, physically, emotionally, financially, and otherwise.

We start by connecting accident victims with top-notch doctors who diagnose whiplash, head-neck injury, and other kinds of injury-related conditions. So, accident victims get the medical help they need, instead of the help that a stingy insurance company approves. These providers, along with mechanics and other providers, usually charge nothing upfront for their professional services.

Then, when the case goes to court, our legal team does not settle for anything less than the best possible result under the circumstances.

Why Choose Strong Law?

Almost any Oregon lawyer could handle a simple personal injury claim. However, there is usually no such thing as a “simple” claim.

Victims/plaintiffs have the burden of proof, which means your Corvallis personal injury attorney must know how to collect and use that evidence in court. Most lawyers do not have these skills.

Furthermore, personal injury claims involve legal complexities. Attorneys must refute insurance company defenses and use obscure legal doctrines in these cases. Furthermore, a third party, like an employer or a bar, could be financially responsible for damages. Frequently, these businesses are out-of-state holding companies.

In contrast, the Strong Law legal team is well-positioned to successfully resolve your claim. We have the right combination of:

Experience: Our primary attorney, Jed Strong, is a former insurance company lawyer. This background gives him a unique insight into falls, car crashes, and other personal injury matters that other attorneys simply do not have.
Dedication: Jed said goodbye to the insurance defense world because he wanted to fight for victims. This passion is contagious and affects everyone on our legal team. This passion fuels our purpose, which is obtaining maximum compensation for your serious injuries.
Accessibility: Travel is difficult for most injury victims. So, we have multiple office locations throughout Washington and Oregon. At Strong Law, we also emphasize professional accessibility. Jed is not just a face on a billboard. Instead, he takes primary responsibility for every aspect of your claim.

Our results speak for themselves. We have a 98 % success rate. We have obtained life-changing results for our clients in the past. We are confident that our proven methods will secure the same results for you and your family.

There is never a good reason to wait to speak to your Benton County personal injury attorney. The longer you wait, the higher your risks are of not getting the evidence you need to prove your case. Do not let that happen to you. Call Strong Law now at 206-741-1053 for a free consultation to discuss your personal injury case.

What a Corvallis Personal Injury Lawyer Does for You

In a nutshell, our Benton County legal team evaluates your case, collects evidence, and advocates for you.

Case evaluation usually includes determining the difference between fault and liability. Car crashes, the most common personal injuries, are a good example.

Insurance adjusters use the evidence immediately available at the scene to determine fault. A Corvallis personal injury lawyer uses all available evidence, as well as applicable legal doctrines, to determine liability.

So, the difference between fault and liability is like the difference between a halftime score and a final score.

Evidence in a personal injury claim usually includes the police accident report, witness statements, and medical bills. Frequently, it is difficult or impossible for individuals to obtain such proof. However, our legal team usually only needs to make a couple of phone calls. We also collect additional evidence, like surveillance video footage.

Our strong advocacy usually enables us to resolve your claim out of court. However, if necessary, we are more than capable of going to trial and going the distance for you.
