What does a Wyoming personal injury lawyer do?

When a person suffers physical and/or psychological injuries as a result of an accident they didn’t cause, they generally look to obtain justice and financial relief from the at-fault party. Unfortunately, some laws stand in the way of them doing that. And that’s why personal injury lawyers are often retained following an incident.

When someone else’s negligence or carelessness causes another person to suffer injuries, it is only fair that they are held accountable for their actions. To do this, however, a victim must follow a series of steps and have a general understanding of the laws that apply to their case. Because most aren’t aware of what these steps are or the laws that can be used to help them, they often turn to an experienced Wyoming personal injury attorney for assistance.

 

Here’s what personal injury lawyers do

 

A personal injury lawyer can help with the following:

 

• Decide if a person has a valid case against another party.

If an individual isn’t sure whether they have a viable case against another party, a personal injury attorney will be able to determine this for them. For instance, if someone consumed a medication that later led to them developing a serious health issue, an attorney will use their investigative skills to determine whether the manufacturer of the drug is to blame for the adverse effects they are now experiencing.

 

• Value their case.

If someone else is to blame for the injuries a person sustained in an accident, they are likely entitled to collect monetary relief from them. But how much do they ask for? Valuing a personal injury case isn’t an easy thing to do, especially if someone is seeking money for pain and suffering, mental anguish, or another type of non-economic damage.

In order to value a case properly, an individual will need to know what damages they are entitled to collect and the formulas they must use to calculate what they should receive for each. It is worth noting that not all accident victims are able to recover the full amount they are seeking. If insurance limits are low or the liable party doesn’t have enough assets to pay them, they may be left with no choice but to accept what is offered.

 

• Defendant a victim’s right to compensation.

Whether an individual is pursuing the insurance company, a business, or even a private party for compensation, a Wyoming personal injury lawyer is going to fight for the best possible outcome in their case. They will gather all the evidence needed to support a case and present their findings to the liable party(ies).

If a settlement agreement cannot be reached, a lawyer may allow the case to go to trial where a judge and/or jury will rule on the matter.
