Not Just Planes When most people think of aviation cases, they think of airplane travel. However, it’s important to understand that others types of air travel, such as helicopter travel, can also lead to serious accidents and thus to aviation cases.  The same rules apply with helicopters - if someone else was at fault for the accident, justice is deserved. Helicopter cases have brought in as much as $350 million when people have died as a result of someone else’s negligence. Not Just the Major Airlines Another thing that people tend to overlook is that not all airplanes are controlled by major airlines. No, there are many small, private airplanes being used today. If anything goes wrong with these planes, however, hired pilots and plane manufacturers can be held responsible. In fact, because these cases typically don’t involve huge corporations with skilled lawyers of their own, they are often easier to win successfully. Don’t let that discourage you though. It is possible to go up against the “big guys” and still win a case . As long as you have a valid case and a skilled lawyer experienced specifically in aviation law, it’s very possible to have a successful trial or to reach a fair settlement. The first step, though, is contacting an aviation lawyer.

File a Bite Report As mentioned, it is your job to make the powers that be aware of the fact that a dangerous animal exists. You can call your local law enforcement office to determine how to file such a report. In some areas, you may have to make a report to the local police department, with animal control, or with the city board. In some cases, you may even need to report the incident to all of these authorities. Whatever you are instructed to do, do it! Having this information on file can only help your case. Set Up a Consultation If your injuries are severe, and you wish to seek justice for them, your next step should be to speak with an attorney. Choose an attorney who specializes in dog bite cases and/or who has handled these cases before. Typically, you can book a free consultation with these professionals. During the consultation, you’ll be able to explain what happened, and the attorney determine if you are likely to win your case or get a settlement. Total it Up If you decide that the case is worth pursuing, you’ll want to determine how much to sue for or to ask to settle for. Consider the cost of any medical bills related to the incident, money you’ve missed due to time off of work, pain and suffering, and other expenses. Your attorney can help you to figure out the total amount you should ask for as well. Once you have this figure down, you’re ready to start seeking the justice you deserve!

Roles of a Personal Injury Attorney

The main role of a personal injury attorney is to represent you and your case in court in front of a judge. While you always have the right to present your case pro se, which means without legal representation, it is highly frowned upon. There is a lot of legal terminology and proceedings that are confusing. A personal injury lawyer understands the process from beginning to end. They also know the meaning of the jargon used in the courtroom. In terms of presenting the case, there are specific points of law that must be addressed when testifying or examining testimony from a witness. Nonetheless, a personal injury attorney knows the exact points of law that must be brought before the court in order to win the case.

The second role of the personal injury lawyer is to negotiate with the insurance companies. In order to ensure that you are fairly compensated for your injury based on the facts of the case, you must understand industry standards and be able to determine the accurate dollar value of an injury. Insurance companies are notorious for offering insulting low settlement offers, but they are also difficult to bargain with. A personal injury attorney knows exactly how much your case is worth based on the facts, and their main goal when negotiating with the insurance company to to use the facts of the case, the industry standards, and case precedent to demand the settlement amount that favors you as the injured party.

All in all the personal injury lawyer plays a significant role. Aside from the facts of the case, the attorney's performance will determine the final outcome. By understanding the roles that an attorney plays, you can have less to be concerned about and gain comfort with the process.
