However, one of the biggest mistakes a plaintiff can make is filing a personal injury lawsuit without legal representation. Even if you have medical insurance, your medical bills can still pile up. Your best option is to find an attorney you can trust to fight for the compensation you deserve in the courtroom. Here are five reasons you shouldn’t face your personal injury case alone. 

#1 You Could Compromise Your Final Settlement

No matter how strong you think your case is, entering legal deliberations on your own could compromise the outcome. Days, weeks, maybe even months may go by following an accident. Do you want to put the compensation you think you deserve at risk? Make sure you put yourself in the best position to get the medical lien financing or financial support you need to help you get back to a normal life. 

#2 You Could Put Your Credit at Risk

Did you know that medical debt can remain on your credit from anywhere between seven and 10 years? Even if an accident wasn’t your fault, you could end up paying for thousands of dollars in medical care and bills. Avoid putting a major strain on your credit by hiring a legal expert to guide you through the personal injury process. 

#3 Health Insurance and Medical Bills Are Confusing

Navigating your insurance company or understanding your medical bills can be complicated and overwhelming. For example, if a procedure isn’t coded properly, you could spend an extended amount of time getting your insurance company to recode the procedure and reimburse you for the difference. On the other hand, a personal injury attorney can easily navigate the necessary paperwork and processes. 

#4 Attorneys Have the Legal Knowledge and Skill 

If we were all equipped to be a doctor or a lawyer, we wouldn’t need to hire professionals to help us legally or medically. After an accident, however, experienced doctors and lawyers are who we depend on the most. Their knowledge in their respective fields will help you get back to a normal life. Make sure you have their knowledge is on your side. 

#5 You Should Focus on Getting Better

Reaching a settlement after an accident can take years. How are you supposed to focus on your health, paying your bills or getting your life back on track if you’re battling your case alone? Putting your trust in an attorney’s hands means you can focus on what’s most important while they fight for the compensation you deserve.
