![When to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/S7W5zq3w4auaZT0hVOaZmz2xgG6nWu-wXeMCO7_ow3YUR1Z8MH7Sjpqz06Pm5Zpalpggdn099oA21F4cJblxFb8FzFZ3RkwA7zXDBz5jCAOzacHqK_Zi3q-F8PUNDF9SmOa7QxKXkGJuIa51)

## Is It Worth Hiring an Attorney For Your Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injuries whether in the workplace or from a car accident can alter your life in drastic ways. Generally, if you’ve suffered injuries of any kind, it is beneficial to hire a personal injury attorney. 

If you’re unsure about whether it’s worth it, you can ask for referrals to help you find an experienced attorney that will give you peace of mind that you’re making the right choice.

## 7 Reasons To Hire a Personal Injury Attorney

If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to hire a personal injury lawyer, consider these seven reasons why it may be in your best interest:

### 1. You Suffered Injuries or a Permanent Disability

If you’ve suffered injuries, it doesn’t matter what they are; it’s best to have an attorney on your side who can help you get the [compensation](https://www.lawfran.com/compensation-for-my-personal-injury-case/) you deserve. Often, clients don’t consider the full extent of their injuries or the costs that may be associated with them both in the past and future when they [file their claim](https://www.lawfran.com/filing-a-personal-injury-claim/).

You should hire a lawyer if you’ve suffered:

- [Severe injury](https://www.lawfran.com/catastrophic-injuries/)

- [Pain and suffering](https://www.lawfran.com/blog/2022/05/how-an-accident-can-affect-your-mental-health/)

- Permanent disability

- Temporary disability

- [Lost wages](https://www.lawfran.com/blog/2022/05/how-do-i-get-reimbursed-for-lost-wages-and-medical-expenses-after-an-auto-accident/)

- [Medical bills](https://www.lawfran.com/blog/2022/05/im-receiving-medical-bills-in-the-mail-what-should-i-do-with-them/)

- Long-term care expenses

An experienced personal injury attorney will not only help you calculate the monetary value of these damages, but they will also know how to negotiate with [insurance companies](https://www.lawfran.com/what-insurance-companies-dont-want-you-to-know/) to ensure you receive the maximum compensation available to you.

![man on crutches with personal injury lawyer](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Vr_ATiey1qKK2Jc6XV-aEeCloZVvLHTtIYoJbqwULGbXt6z1mgkGw2bq0KZrK5WuX4jD0BBC_SrNyoXTKLc_YO_8n8_ZAWy6Xx2zDg4olPjyRnCT_X37ts3-RIdF6CQF0ruQXpbM1z82Sfnx)

### 2. Fault is Unclear, or You Were Partially at Fault

If liability is unclear or you were partially at fault for the accident, hiring a personal injury lawyer is in your best interests. In Florida, if you are partially at fault, you may still recover damages from the other party. Personal injury attorneys help you determine [whether or not you have a case](https://www.lawfran.com/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-a-personal-injury-claim-in-florida/) and what your best options are for [pursuing a claim](https://www.lawfran.com/why-should-i-file-a-personal-injury-claim-in-florida/) if either of these situations arises.

Still, even in cases where the liability is clear, **the other party’s insurance company may try to minimize the amount of money they have to pay. An attorney will gather evidence to help prove your claim.**

### 3. The Insurance Company Refuses to Negotiate in Good Faith

Most personal injury cases are settled out of court, but insurance companies sometimes refuse to offer a fair settlement. If this happens, you may have no choice but to take them to court in a personal injury lawsuit. A lawyer will know what it takes to file your claim, present your case in court, and fight for the best possible outcome.

The insurance company may also try to take advantage of you if you don’t have an attorney by offering a lowball settlement offer or dragging out [the claims process](https://www.lawfran.com/filing-a-personal-injury-claim/). **Hiring an attorney can help ensure that you are treated fairly by the insurance company and receive the total compensation you are entitled to.**

### 4. You May Get a Larger Settlement Offer With an Attorney

While no one can guarantee you will get a larger [settlement offer](https://www.lawfran.com/cash-advance-on-my-personal-injury-settlement/)with an attorney, it is often the case. Attorneys generally have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies. They know how to build a strong case and what evidence to look for. This may give you an advantage when it comes time to negotiate a settlement.

### 5. There’s No Cost to You if You Don’t Win

Most people are worried about the costs of hiring a lawyer, and rightfully so. Claims and lawsuits can be expensive ventures. However, when working with a [personal injury law](https://www.lawfran.com/florida-personal-injury-law/) firm, you don’t have to pay the attorney anything unless they win your case.

Most personal injury lawyers work on a [contingency fee](https://www.lawfran.com/contingency-fee/) basis. This means that they only get paid if you win your case. If you don’t win, you don’t owe them anything. This is a risk-free way to hire an attorney and get the compensation you deserve.

### 6. Multiple Parties Are Involved

In some accidents, there may be multiple parties that are at fault. For example, if you were involved in an accident with a commercial truck, the truck driver and the trucking company may be liable. If multiple parties are involved, negotiating a settlement can be more complicated.

A personal injury lawyer will handle communication with insurance companies to try to reach a fair settlement.

### 7. The Claim Involves a Government Entity 

In some cases, the government may be liable for your injuries. For example, if you were injured in a car accident caused by a defective road, you may be able to sue the government. If you were involved in an accident with a USPS truck, you might be able to sue the Postal Service.

Claims against the government are different than other personal injury claims. You usually have a shorter period to file a claim, and special rules may apply. An attorney will know how to navigate these rules and help you get your claim filed and settled within the time limit.

## Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims

![nurse with injury paper work](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/SWjM72bo1rkcunBjBm7kUHTwieS6zY0Cgas7hEHXKIkyKelM1gbp1rE-pQ4IweG_m-9amBEEOJXGe-TTRS3d661mQ_31jrSwtz0lEYqo44QhwzT7PzqTnLfw6VINvLVa2UlBrv-HjR3XF9oU)

In Florida, you have [two years to file or settle](https://www.lawfran.com/florida-personal-injury-statute-of-limitations/) a personal injury claim. This means that you have two years from the date of your accident to file or settle a claim. If you do not file within this time period, you will be barred from pursuing any compensation for your injuries.

We realize this may seem like a long time, but it is important to remember that various factors impact the [length of time](https://www.lawfran.com/how-long-does-a-personal-injury-claim-take/) it will take your case to settle. Talking to an attorney as soon as possible ensures that they can begin investigating your claim and gathering evidence.
