If you are the injured party, you may need a lawyer who can help you determine whether or not you have a strong claim. There are many factors that should be carefully considered within a legal framework, such as whether a person or business was liable or "at fault", whether you have suffered "damages", and whether the party who injured you has the ability to pay for your damages.

Your lawyer has the ability to recover money for you for lost time from work, medical bills, pain and suffering and other expenses associated with your injury. Many lawyers work on a contingency fee, meaning that they can recover money for damages; the legal fees paid would be a percentage of the money awarded, you pay no fee unless you receive compensation for your injuries.

By hiring a lawyer with many years of experience, you can ensure that all legal papers are filed before the applicable Limitation period expires. Also, your lawyer can educate you on the many different deadlines that must be met prior to the filing of your claim. If you miss a deadline, such as the expiry of a Limitation period, you may no longer be able to file a claim to collect money from your accident.

Whether you’re injured at work, in a car accident, or anywhere else, you deserve an appropriate settlement for your pain and suffering. If you have to take time off from work, your lawyer will ensure those wages are recovered. If you have lost family time, your lawyer will fight to see that you are fairly compensated for this loss. Regardless of the extent of your injury, your lawyer will fight to get you the best damage award possible.
