It is obvious that an injury has occurred. To the person who sustains the injury and anyone who was nearby, it is also clear who is responsible. While the situation may seem to be cut and dried, all sorts of issues can arise. That is why securing the services of one of the Personal Injury Lawyers Boston MA is in the interests of the injured party. Here are some of the ways that the lawyer will help.
Taking an Objective Look at the Evidence
Those who are closely involved with the events leading up to the injury may have difficulty separating their emotions from what has transpired. That makes it all the easier to be less than clear on exactly what happened. Personal Injury Lawyers Boston MA have the advantage of being able to look at the events with an air of detachment that only an uninvolved third party can offer. Thanks to this attribute, it is possible to look at the events and the injury objectively. As a result, the lawyer may see something that everyone else is overlooking.
Dealing with the Insurance Company
In a perfect world, the injured party would immediately be offered a settlement that would cover all medical costs and loss of income resulting from the injury. That is not the way things work. A more likely scenario is that the adjusters handling the claim will look for any way to shift part of the responsibility to the injured individual. That includes asking loaded questions designed to prompt answers that seem to confirm that responsibility.
Once the services of the lawyer are retained, there is no need to interact with the insurance company representative again. All queries are directed through the attorney. If there is the need to meet with anyone face to face, it is done with the lawyer present. That ensures any inappropriate or leading questions are quickly caught and dismissed.
