We’ve all heard the saying “bigger is better…” but is bigger really always better? It isn’t when it comes to choosing a law firm to represent you in your personal injury case. In fact, The Pottenger Law Firm is small by design to better serve personal injury victims in their time of need. What makes smaller law firms, otherwise called boutique firms, a better option than large law firms (otherwise called regional firms or national firms)?
Regional firms tend to dabble a little bit in a wide array of law practices, while boutique firms usually stick to a few areas of law. Why does this matter? When a lawyer continuously takes on cases in personal injury law, that attorney develops specialized skills specific to those cases. It’s always better to have a true expert in your corner, especially where compensation is involved. For example, you wouldn’t want someone experienced in family law, business law, and criminal defense defending you in a car accident case.
In addition to this, regional firms take on thousands of cases at a time, where boutique firms are more selective about the cases they undertake. Why do boutique firms take on fewer cases? With fewer cases to handle at a time, this gives boutique firms the opportunity to provide more time, energy, and resources to their clients. It also makes communicating with your attorney more comfortable and personal than with a regional firm.
Why Do You Need an Attorney?
Why do you need a personal injury lawyer? Because personal injuries are expensive! Between medical expenses and lost wages from time taken off work to recover, personal injury victims have a lot of costs to cover. When someone else is at fault for these personal injuries, it’s only right that this person pays the expenses. A personal injury attorney has the experience and expertise to fight for the compensation you deserve. Your attorney can also help you throughout the legal process with the following.
- Filling out and submitting the necessary legal paperwork by deadlines.
- Gathering evidence to prove your claim such as security camera footage, receipts, medical records, police reports, expert testimony, and more.
- Calculating the value of your personal injury including past, present, and in some cases even future personal injury related expenses.
- Protecting your rights.
- Handling communications with the insurance company.
- Protection from bad faith insurers.
- Negotiating on your behalf for a fair settlement, and if necessary, filing a lawsuit.
