You have been involved in a Connecticut accident, and seriously injured through the fault of another. Your telephone rings, and it is the insurance adjuster who represents the person who caused your accident. You are told that the adjuster is quite sorry to hear of your situation and is there to make sure that your medical bills are paid, you are compensated for lost wages, and that you are given money for your pain and suffering.

An Attorney Strives to Obtain the Best Case Result Possible

Studies have shown that experienced accident attorneys can negotiate settlements and obtain verdicts and judgments that are many times higher than what an unrepresented injured party can negotiate for themselves. To put it another way, you will end up with more money in your pocket after you pay your injury lawyer than you will if you represent yourself in attempting to negotiate your own settlement with the insurance company claim's adjuster.

Many people have seen the show that takes place in a pawn shop. A person comes in with an object that they have inherited from their grandfather. They are interested in selling that object and the pawn shop employee asks how much money they want. Many times, regardless of the amount of money that the owner wants, they are told that an expert would need to come in and evaluate the object before proceeding. The pawn shop owner's expert then comes in, looks at the object, describes what it is and indicates what a sale price should be for the object. The pawn shop owner then advises the potential seller that the most he can pay is less than half of the appraised value so that he can make money when he goes to sell the object. This is in many ways the same thing that happens when you represent yourself with the insurance adjuster in your injury case.

Evaluating the Full Worth of Your Injury Case

Your injury case has a value. Chances are that you will not know what the value is and how it is determined. Instead, you will leave it to the insurance adjuster to tell you what your case is worth understanding that the insurance adjusters job is to pay you the least amount of money possible for your accident or injury case. When you attempt to negotiate a higher number you will be told by the adjuster that the case is not worth that much and that you can either accept that figure or reject that figure and if you hire a lawyer then they will not offer any more money but you will have to pay legal fees out of that amount. You may very well feel that you have no other alternative so you accept this lowly figure.

Many different aspects of a personal injury case that affect how much money a case is worth. There are things that you should be doing after you been involved in an accident. There are also things that you should not be doing after you have been injured.

Some of these include:

1. There are certain doctors that you should be seeing.
2. There is information you should be telling your doctor about certain aspects of your case.
3. There are ways that you can develop your lost income claim. There are things that you can say and do to increase the value of your case.
4. There are a number of things that you can do to help maximize the amount of money for your accident or injury case.

If you hire an experienced Connecticut accident attorney then you will have access to all of this very valuable information and you can help to maximize the amount of money that you will get for your accident case.
