Qualities of Good Injury Attorneys

When you are seriously injured by another person’s carelessness, it’s important to hire the right personal injury lawyers who will develop an effective legal strategy to fight for your rights and help you get the justice you deserve.

The lawyers of Gibbs & Crivelli, Slingshot Law have helped thousands of clients just like you. We believe there are certain qualities of good personal injury attorneys in Austin TX that make them valuable to clients like yourself. Our lawyers possess the focus and experience necessary to handle complex personal injury cases. Here are some of the traits that we strive to embody each day.

Experience with Insurance Company Tactics 

Insurance companies spend millions of dollars fighting their customers every year, and they want to keep those profits coming in no matter what. 

It may appear as if they are trying to help you but the truth is, many insurance companies will do anything to avoid paying your claim. They have a lot of money, experts, and resources, including an army of lawyers to fight claims like yours. 

While insurers are good at what they do, so are the attorneys at our law firm. We’ve helped countless clients get justice and will protect your rights with our knowledge of how to handle insurance companies’ questionable tactics. Our lawyers understand all the tricks in the book that insurers use to avoid paying claims because we have seen it all before.

In-Depth Knowledge of Applicable Laws

The best personal injury lawyers are not just knowledgeable about the law, we understand how to apply the law to your case and will do everything we can to get you the best possible outcome. This means being aware of the relevant laws, such as:

• All laws that may affect your case, such as federal regulations regarding vehicle safety
• Any laws that directly apply to your case, like state statutes regarding liability
• Time limits that apply to your case
• Local regulations and ordinances related to personal injury cases like accident reporting requirements

Your lawyer should have a strong understanding of these state and federal laws because one mistake can lead to a dismissal of your claim. Our guidance can help you protect your interests and get the coverage you’re due for your injuries. 

Ability to Prove Liability 

With the right lawyers on your side, it will be easier to prove that the other party is liable and owe you financial compensation for your injuries. This can be tricky. For example, if you are in a car accident, burn accident, pedestrian accident or construction accident and the other party is at fault, they may not want to admit fault.

All good injury attorneys should focus intently on gathering the evidence needed to prove liability. This includes not only police reports and witness statements, but also things like expert testimony and forensics, if necessary. 

We have helped many people recover damages because we leave no stone unturned when it comes to winning your case. When it comes to proving fault, you may need dedicated attorneys to dig into the evidence and who liability falls on during your personal injury claim. 

We can also have the necessary knowledge and tools to determine liability and whether you’re eligible for workers’ compensation or Social Security disability benefits if your injuries prevent you from working full time.

Great Lawyers Have Great Communication Skills

Experienced lawyers have worked with many different types of people, including those who are grieving after a loss from a wrongful death or are facing serious health problems. We handle cases for clients who have been hurt badly and need to deal with the resulting medical expenses, lost wages, and other bills.

Good injury attorneys can explain legal terms clearly to anyone, regardless of that individual’s experience with the law or education level. If English is not your first language, we’ll ensure that you fully understand what is happening. We will provide clear guidance on your rights and the legal process, including what you can expect from your case and what is likely to happen next.
