About Fisher Injury Lawyers

No, but your lawyer should always prepare your case for trial. This approach is the best way to get top dollar in settlement. Most cases will settle before trial but you never want to settle for less than the full value of your case. A top injury lawyer will ensure that you are fully paid for all of your losses.

So the value of a case is probably the most difficult part of this business. It requires that you have a lot of experience, that you’ve done this for a long time and that you’ve handled a lot of cases. It requires that you’ve gone to court and tried cases. It requires that you do the legal research in order to look at what other courts have awarded other juries and other judges have awarded for similar injuries. But it also requires a lot of other subtle things. You have to hire the right experts to help evaluate a loss and a perfect example of that and one that many lawyers do not do is retaining the services of a certified life care plan and what a certified life care planner does is in the case of a serious injury evaluates your injury and the effect of that injury on your life not just today, not just tomorrow, not just next year but for the entire remainder of your life throughout your entire life expectancy and then qualifies the future medical costs, the future lost wages, the need for additional future support services maybe something as simple as a house keeper maybe something like skilled care within the home, the need to have reserves in case there is new developing experimental medical treatment that might help someone that’s been seriously injured in an accident. So the value of a case is something that the lawyer looks at based upon his experience and his research and knowing your case intimately knowing it as well as you know what you lived through determines. A good lawyer is going to tell you what the value range of a case is. When I meet with my clients we actually do a mathematical distribution what’s known as a normal distribution of potential outcomes and we tell them what the possibilities are that the outcome of this case will be in a particular range say within a million dollars and a million and a half dollars and we allow them to make a decision based upon those proportionate weights and those respected values and decide for themselves if and when an offer is made within that range whether it’s a good deal.

The insurance company is certainly not on your side and sadly in most cases your insurance company is not even on your side. The business of insurance is built this way they take in as many premium dollars as they can each year and they pay out as few of those premium dollars in claims as they can and that’s how they make money and if you’ve read the news anywhere in the last 10 years you see that insurance companies make an enormous amount of money. So obviously they’re very successful in bringing in a lot of premiums and paying out very little on claims and that applies to your insurance company and it applies to the insurance company of people who may be responsible for your accident and injuries. So when an insurance company offers you advice, you have to consider the source. The insurance company is not on your side and you should not be in the business of taking advice from anyone who’s interest are adverse to yours and certainly an insurance company in a situation of an accident and an injury has interests that are adverse to yours.So our recommendation is give us a call, 225-766-1234. Call us up, talk to us, let us know what’s going on and we’ll give you some advice and won’t charge you.

Injury attorneys are allowed to advance money for necessary medical care in a case if the client is unable to pay for the medical care by health insurance or otherwise.  This will ensure that you get great medical care during your case.  The insurance company for the person who caused your injury will re-pay all of your medical expense when your case is resolved by settlement or trial.

You should always contact an experienced injury lawyer after a wreck even if you believe you were at fault. We often find that our clients are fault free even when given a ticket by the police. Of course, we also handle the ticket for you.

There is no limit to the ways a driver can negligently cause a wreck and injury. Over the last 30 years, we have seen it all: an unrestrained dog jumping on the driver, a deriver looking for a dropped cigarette on his car seat, an 18 wheeler driver watching porn videos on his cell phone and the more common distracted driver and drunk driver. Never accept the opinion of the police or insurance company that you are at fault. We investigate every claim and often defeat the false opinions of both.

18 wheeler cases are complicated in part because who you sue can greatly affect your result.  Big rigs are often leased to the operator which may be a company or an individual.  Any and all of them may have insurance to cover your loss and injury.  In one of our case, the driver and owner disclosed only $2 million in insurance.  Our investigation found another $25 million in coverage every penny of which was needed to cover our client’s very serious injuries.
