What will hiring an attorney do for me?
A: An experienced personal injury attorney can do many things that will dramatically affect the success and value of your case. First, a personal injury attorney experienced in a dog attack claim will know how to immediately investigate the attack so as to preserve information that can be critical in proving who owned or harbored the dog, eliminating defenses such as that the dog was provoked, and establishing whether the dog has attacked before. While it may seem obvious and it may even be that admissions regarding fault were made at the time of the attack stories frequently change, often dramatically, once a claim is made. That is why it can be critical to investigate and secure evidence immediately.
In addition, an experienced personal injury attorney will understand how to document all of your losses and how to present them on your behalf. One of the major roles of an attorney is to determine all theories of liability and sources of recovery that might be available to you. There are also things that need to be done in a procedurally proper manner to avoid jeopardizing additional rights that you may have.
Finally, insurance companies know which attorneys will actually take cases to trial and which attorneys will cave in and take smaller settlements in order to avoid having to go to trial. This fact alone can be significant in what the insurance company is willing to pay you in settlement to avoid going to trial.
