FAQ

Morgan & Morgan FAQs

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

When someone else has caused you to sustain an injury, you know you need legal representation. But you may be wondering what exactly a personal injury lawyer will do for you.
 
A personal injury lawyer works to protect your rights and recover what you are owed. They are your representative. A skilled attorney will work tirelessly in your best interests.
 
An accomplished personal injury lawyer in North Carolina will recognize and anticipate any issues before they arise. If there are problems in your case, your legal representative will intervene on your behalf.
 
Personal injury claims are often very complex. This is especially true if multiple parties are involved.
 
In most cases, securing compensation requires years of legal training and specialized knowledge. Rather than navigating the convoluted legal process, injury victims should be able to focus on their recovery.
 
Hiring an accomplished attorney will ensure that you have the best possible chance to recover financially. This allows you to prioritize your health and wellbeing.
 
When you secure the services of a qualified legal professional, they will handle the following aspects of your case:

  • Speaking with eyewitnesses to your accident
  • Securing relevant documentation, such as police reports and medical records
  • Arranging consultations with medical specialists and experts
  • Gathering relevant evidence in your case
  • Negotiating forcefully with insurance adjusters
  • Accurately calculating the value of your claim
  • Building a powerful case for legal liability
  • Preparing a lawsuit, if needed

These are only a few examples of how a skilled personal injury lawyer in North Carolina can help you. 
 
One of the most difficult parts of an accident claim is negotiating with insurance companies. It is important to understand that insurance providers do not work toward the best interests of claimants.
 
Instead, insurance adjusters are trained to minimize the payment on each accident or injury claim that is filed. Adjusters are trained to confuse and manipulate claimants.
 
Experienced personal injury attorneys understand the tactics and manipulation strategies that claims adjusters use. A knowledgeable legal professional will effectively counter attempts to undermine your claim.
 
It is vital to contact an injury lawyer before you try to negotiate with an insurance company. Even the smallest comment may result in the reduction of your claim’s value.
 
The legal team at Morgan & Morgan has decades of experience negotiating with uncooperative insurance companies. Do not let a tightfisted corporation deny you the money that you are due.
 
Do not wait. Contact an accomplished attorney at Morgan & Morgan today.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

Determining the value of a personal injury claim is a complex process. There is no single or uniform standard for determining the value of a case.
 
In most injury cases, victims seek financial compensation from the liable party or their insurance provider. Compensation usually takes the form of “damages.”
 
Damages are payments made to an accident victim on behalf of the at-fault person or business. “Compensatory” damages are intended to compensate the injured person for the harms that they suffered.
 
There are two main categories of compensatory damages in personal injury law. These are known as “economic” and “non-economic” damages.

Economic Damages

This category of financial compensation is intended to make the victim financially whole. In other words, economic damages are only meant to replace monetary losses resulting from the accident.
 
Economic damages will not make the injured person wealthier than they were before. This type of compensation should restore the victim’s previous financial status.
 
Some typical examples of economic damages include payments to cover the cost of:

  • Medicine and current medical treatments
  • Anticipated future medical needs
  • Replacing and repairing damaged or destroyed property
  • Lost income due to missed work
  • Decreases in long-term earning potential
  • And more

This category of compensatory damages will cover any direct monetary loss from the accident or injury. Determining an appropriate amount of economic damages is relatively simple.
 
When you contact a personal injury lawyer in North Carolina, they will gather financial paperwork related to your accident. These may include receipts, bills, invoices, and other documents.
 
Adding up the costs from these documents provides a reliable estimate of the economic damages in each case. 

Non-Economic Damages

Not every type of loss from a personal injury comes with a price tag. In many cases, the intangible losses from an accident or injury are the most difficult.
 
For example, suppose that you suffered a severe back injury from a truck accident. Due to your accident, you may be unable to comfortably sleep at night. You also might be uncomfortable while taking walks with your spouse, so you may stop an activity that you once enjoyed.
 
Losses like these do not necessarily result in a change to the financial lives of a victim. Still, these negative consequences can be devastating.
 
The compensation for intangible negative outcomes from an accident or injury is known as “non-economic” damages. This type of payment is meant to compensate for the difficult and traumatic experiences that victims have undergone.
 
Some of the most common examples of non-economic damages include payments for:

  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Inability to engage in hobbies or recreational activities
  • Emotional trauma, like stress, panic, and depression
  • Disfigurement and disabilities
  • Embarrassment and ostracization
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium or relationship

Victims do not only deserve compensation for the money that they have lost because of an accident. They also deserve payment for their trying and painful experiences.
 
It is very difficult to evaluate non-economic damages in a personal injury case. That is why it is crucial to hire the best personal injury lawyer in North Carolina.

What Are Contingency Fees and Why Are They Important?

Unlike most types of payment, clients do not provide money upfront to cover the cost of legal services. Trustworthy personal injury attorneys are paid through contingency fees.
 
In short, this means that claimants do not pay anything unless their lawyer recovers money for them. When you hire an attorney, you will agree to a certain percentage of the winnings from your case.
 
After your lawyer has settled or won your case at trial, that percentage of your compensation will go to cover legal fees. You should never hire a firm that requires upfront payments.
 
At Morgan & Morgan, our compassionate team understands the financial difficulties that injury victims confront. That is why we provide no-cost initial case evaluations for claimants.

Is It Important to Hire an Attorney With Experience in the Courtroom?

Yes, hiring a lawyer with litigation experience is crucial. Although most personal injury claims do not result in a trial, some do.
 
The majority of cases are settled before the claimant files a lawsuit. Still, it is possible that your personal injury claim will escalate to the courts. This is especially likely if you are facing a particularly uncooperative insurance provider.
 
At Morgan & Morgan, we have attorneys across the country with plenty of experience in the courtroom. When you hire us, you will never have to worry that your attorney might accept a lowball settlement to avoid litigation.
