A personal injury lawyer helps individuals injured in an accident with their legal issues. These lawyers deal with "tort law," which covers accidents caused by mistakes or on purpose. The personal injury lawyer will help victims receive compensation for their injuries.

Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney?
Yes, hiring a personal injury attorney is often worth it for several crucial reasons. These lawyers are experts in navigating the complex legal system, which can be overwhelming for individuals who need legal training. Understanding your rights and the potential compensation you deserve can be challenging when you've been injured in an accident. Still, a personal injury attorney can provide clarity.

Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This arrangement makes legal representation accessible to those who cannot afford upfront legal fees.
Do I need a personal injury lawyer?
Whether you need a personal injury lawyer depends on the circumstances of your case. Suppose you've been injured due to someone else's negligence or intentional actions, resulting in significant harm. In that case, consulting with a personal injury attorney is advisable. They can assess the strength of your case, negotiate with insurance companies, gather evidence, and represent your interests in court if necessary. Personal injury lawyers are well-versed in the complexities of the legal system. They can help you navigate it while pursuing fair compensation for your injuries. While not all cases require legal representation, having an attorney can significantly improve your chances of obtaining the best possible outcome and protecting your rights.

Before entering into negotiations, it's essential to accurately assess the value of your claim. Our personal injury attorneys will carefully evaluate various factors, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical needs, and other damages incurred as a result of the accident. This thorough assessment allows us to establish a reasonable settlement range and effectively advocate for your best interests.
Settlement Negotiations

After filing a personal injury claim, the insurance company will typically assign a claims adjuster to evaluate your case and determine a potential settlement amount. This is where the expertise of a personal injury attorney becomes invaluable. At MVP Accident Attorneys, our skilled negotiators have extensive experience in settlement negotiations and will work tirelessly to secure fair compensation for our clients.

We will keep you informed at every stage, providing updates on settlement offers, discussing the pros and cons of each proposal, and providing our expert advice. We will ensure that you have a clear understanding of the negotiation process and the potential outcomes, empowering you to make informed decisions.
Common Types of Accident Injuries
When it comes to personal injury cases, the types of injuries an accident victim can sustain varies widely depending on the circumstances of the accident. Some injuries may be relatively minor and require only short-term medical treatment, while others may be life-altering and require long-term care and rehabilitation. Medical treatment for catastrophic injuries can involve medical care for several weeks, months, years, or even for the rest of the accident victim’s life.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Wrongful death
- Spinal cord injuries
- Internal injuries
- Broken bones and bone fractures
- Burn injuries

If you do not want the paramedics to take you to the emergency department by ambulance, visit your local urgent care center as soon as possible.

The next step is meeting with an experienced personal injury attorney at our firm. Our attorneys can discuss your legal rights and options, accurately value your insurance claim, and fight for the fair settlement you deserve. With our right legal representation, you can get the guidance and support you need to move forward.
Economic and Non-economic damages
In personal injury cases, an accident victim may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, property damage,and other financial losses incurred as a result of the accident. Non-economic damages include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, loss of quality of life, and more.
How an Attorney Can Assess the Severity of Your Accident Injuries
If you were severely injured in an accident, your personal injury lawyer will work with medical professionals to determine your future medical needs and expenses.

The Functional Capacity Index gauges an injured person's physical and cognitive capabilities. Your attorney will work with medical professionals, using this tool, in conjunction with the abbreviated injury scale, to determine the extent of your limitations caused by your injury.
Created by the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) is a scoring system that includes six scoring levels, ranging from level 1 for minor injuries, to level six, for injuries with fatal outcomes. This scale is used to classify an injury based on the degree of damage and anatomical location. The AIS is often used by personal injury lawyers for legal proceedings and by medical professionals for research purposes. Your attorney will work with health care professionals to determine your injury severity score.
This type of assessment can demonstrate the impact your injuries have had on your daily life, work, and overall quality of living, ensuring your attorney demands a settlement that will accurately cover your future medical expenses.
Negotiating with Insurance companies
In many cases, personal injury claims are resolved out of court through negotiations with the other party's insurance company. Insurance companies have a vested interest in minimizing the amount of money they pay out in personal injury claims, so it's important to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators. We’re familiar with the tactics claims adjusters try to use to minimize payout. Our attorneys will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive a fair settlement offer and we will not back down until you do.
Personal injury Lawsuits
If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations with the insurance adjuster, our attorneys may recommend filing a personal injury lawsuit and taking your case to court. During a jury trial, the plaintiff’s attorney must prove that the defendant caused physical, financial or emotional harm. Fortunately, at MVP Accident Attorneys, we have extensive experience representing clients in civil lawsuits and are prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.

Our trial attorneys will present your case in front of a judge and/or jury and argue on your behalf to ensure that you receive the damage awards you deserve.
Statute of limitations
There is a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations. In most cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file a personal injury lawsuit within this time period, you may be barred from taking legal action in the future.
How Much Will a Personal injury attorney Cost?
Many people are concerned about the cost of hiring a personal injury attorney. At our firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we only get paid if you receive compensation for your injuries.

Our fee is a percentage of the total amount of the settlement or judgment. We believe that this fee structure is the fairest way to ensure that everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
