Personal Injury Las Vegas

Las Vegas personal injury attorney Garrett T. Ogata explains the importance of having an attorney on your side and why it is better to seek legal advice than attempt to proceed on your own:

After you are injured in a car accident, you will be dealing with a variety of people including insurance adjusters, medical billing specialists, mechanics and even car rental companies. These situations can be overwhelming to those who are not comfortable representing themselves. It is important to have an attorney who knows how to guide you through the procedure to get you a fair settlement.

Discussing your accident with a personal injury attorney means that you can slow down and make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve. Insurance companies are trying to get the lowest settlement as fast as they possibly can, but an attorney can work with you to discuss your medical needs and whether or not you received proper treatment before deciding on a settlement. There is no rush to settle, and the burden and pressure that you may feel from adjusters is lifted.

Once you consult an attorney, you do not need to talk to anyone about the accident or be concerned with the paperwork that may follow. Your attorney is the one who is providing legal representation and will be the one that adjusters, doctors or other claims departments will need to contact. The first thing your attorney will do is to obtain your medical records and prescriptions and then initiate a discussion with the adjuster to try to reach a settlement. If these two parties cannot come to an agreement, then your attorney may suggest a trial process.
