Determining the true - and complete - value of your personal injury claim is a key part of ensuring that you have the opportunity to recover the financial compensation that will help you rebuild your life. This is also one of many reasons to consider working with an attorney in handling your insurance claim or lawsuit. While there may be immediately apparent expenses or injuries that you would like to address, a legal professional will know what to look for in terms of long-term expenses or future losses. Legal counsel is also highly beneficial in the face of a low settlement offer by the insurance company or a contested claim.
To determine the true value of an injury claim, it is helpful to look at all physical, emotional and financial repercussions of the injury or injuries that the victim experienced. This is best accomplished by involving expert witnesses who can determine the extent of damages sustained and then prove this during negotiations or in a courtroom setting. A law firm with sufficient resources to properly handle personal injury claims in your area will typically utilize the services of private investigators, medical professionals, accident reconstruction specialists, economists, crash scene investigators and psychologists to conduct a careful investigation of a client's injuries and then build a compelling case on his or her behalf.
The amount of financial compensation that an injured party is able to recover in a personal injury claim will often directly impact his or her ability to recover from a financial and emotional standpoint. That is why the team at the Law Offices of Stipe & Belote works tirelessly to ascertain the fair value of their clients' cases and then fights to recover the highest possible settlement or jury award on their behalf. The firm handles car accident, premises liability, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, wrongful death and all other types of injury claims in the Oklahoma City area and is ready to put their experience to work for you.
