There are many times in someone’s life they need to hire an attorney. A Local Law Firm can help an individual with:
- A personal injury claim after an accident.
- A workers’ compensation claim when they’ve been injured on the job.
- Obtaining social security disability if they’ve no longer able to work.
- Defending someone against a DWI or OUI charge.
Personal injuries and work related injuries can cause detrimental financial hardship for someone. Serious injuries from a car, motorcycle, trucking, or pedestrian accident could lead to a lifetime of being unable to work. After an accident, a lot of time will be missed at work for surgery, therapy, doctor’s appointments, physical rehabilitation and much more. An attorney will immediately begin protecting a victim’s rights and start negotiating with the insurance company. Insurance companies will do everything they can to reduce a payment to an injured victim.
When a worker is injured on the job, they should immediately report it to their supervisor. Even a small cut could lead to a serious infection. Many companies try to force a worker back to work on light duties before they’re able to. A Local Law Firm can review the case and help them file the necessary paperwork they need for a claim. Failure to supply an employer with the documentation could lead to refusal of payment for medical bills and wages. If the injury is permanent, the employee will have to go through a more rigorous legal battle to obtain the benefits they’re entitled to.
When an attorney is hired in either of these circumstances, they will already have the information they need to file a social security disability claim for the victim. This makes the process much easier on the client. In addition to representing victims of personal injury, an attorney can build a defense for drivers that have been arrested for a DWI or OUI offense. This type of criminal charge can result in the loss of someone’s driver license, jail time, high fines, and soaring insurance premiums. Legal cases can affect someone’s life forever if they don’t have the advice they need from an attorney. For more information, please visit chrisrichardattorney.com.
