If you have been injured because of someone else's carelessness or negligence, then it is important that you speak to an attorney as soon as possible. A claim needs to be processed quickly and efficiently in Nashville personal injury cases so that our Higgins Firm legal team can gather any information and evidence that may be needed for your case. Our attorneys work quickly to collect evidence so we can make sure you get all the compensation you are entitled to and the party responsible pays for their actions.

If you have never worked with a personal injury attorney before, you may be wondering what exactly is the Nashville personal injury attorney's job is? This is a good question. When someone has a lawsuit for a personal injury, it is because of something known as a “tort” or civil wrong. The job of a Nashville personal injury attorney is to do all they can to try to correct or make up for this wrongdoing using the civil justice system. Our Nashville personal injury attorneys have the experience and skills that are needed to give our clients the best legal representation they can have. We know about the rights you have and how to protect these rights. We know about the kind of compensation you may be eligible to receive for your personal injury case. Our Nashville legal team works with defense lawyers and insurance companies to inform them about your injuries, how the injury occurred and anything you may have lost because of the injury. We use this information and evidence to prove that the other party is at fault and should pay you the compensation you need.

Now that you know what a Nashville personal injury does, we know that you still have several questions such as:

• What should I do after I have been Injured?

It most important that after you have been injured, you seek medical attention for your injuries and get the treatment you may need to help you recover.

• Why do I need to hire a personal injury lawyer?

The Higgins Firm understands that after you have been injured, you may be confused and feel overwhelmed. You may be faced with questions from insurance companies and other people that want you to sign paperwork. However, signing paperwork if you don't know what it is can mean that you are signing away your rights to receive any compensation you may need later for your injuries. A Nashville lawyer with the Higgins Firm will advise you not to sign anything until we can review your case. This is so we can determine if you are eligible for compensation. If you are, we will also work with you to gather any evidence that be needed for your case. We help make the process easier and less confusing for you so that you can focus on just getting better. We also have the experience needed to make sure your rights are upheld and you get all the compensation that is rightfully yours.

• When does a Nashville personal injury lawyer get paid?

Most of the time, attorneys are paid from a portion of the settlement you receive. This means that we work hard to get you the best settlement possible for your case. We will also talk to you about any other fees that may come up and make sure you understand what they all mean.

• How long will it take for my case to reach a settlement?

This question is asked often and the truth is that it is not possible to answer when a case is still in the early stages of development. This is because evidence needs to be collected, people need to be talked to and each side will be making their own case. Some cases can settle in a few months outside of court and other cases may take years for a settlement to be reached or go to trial.

• How much can I receive for my Case?

The value of your case does not have an easy answer. This is because there is a large amount of information that needs to be gathered and you also need to recover or be mostly recovered from your injuries. The value of your case may also depend on other factors such as how much your medical bills are, how much income or benefits you lost while you were injured, and whether or not your injury is permanent.

• What are some reasons why my case would go to court?

The reasons you can might not settle and going to trial would be necessary include:

• The insurance company or other party thinks that you and your attorney have asked for more compensation than they are willing to pay.
• Who is at fault is question or is being denied by other party
• The insurance company or other party does not think that you are actually injured or that your injuries are not as severe as you are claiming.
