Ocean City Personal Injury Lawyer

With its legions of visitors and reckless summer behavior, Ocean City in Maryland witnesses more than its fair share of catastrophic injuries to motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists alike. When tragedy does strike, as Brian Bishop learned, expenses follow, and the injury from an accident has a way of impacting not just your life but those around you as well. When that happens, personal injury law allows you, with the help of a lawyer, to claim financial compensation for that injury from those whose negligence caused it.

What Personal Injury Compensation Do You Need A Lawyer’s Help To Obtain After An Ocean City Accident?

In theory, getting compensated for your injuries after an accident would be as simple as adding up all your bills and presenting them to the relevant insurance company for reimbursement. This can include:

• Medical bills,
• Hospital costs,
• Treatments and medication,
• Physical therapy,
• Surgeries,
• Nursing care,
• Ongoing and future treatments,
• Lost wages,
• Disability,
• Psychological harm and trauma,
• Pain and suffering,
• Loss in the quality of your life or family obligations,
• And any other cost or harm associated with your injury.

Unfortunately, just adding everything up will rarely be sufficient for two big reasons.

1. Some Personal Injury Costs Don’t Come With An Easy-To-Measure Bill.

While medical costs and, to a certain extent, lost wages are easy enough to measure and add up, other consequences of a crash and injury are harder to calculate. Things like pain and suffering, a loss in quality of life, or the lack of companionship from a spouse are all very real harms you endure and deserve compensation for, but they are hard to evaluate monetarily. Personal injury lawyers know all about these harms, they have seen them time and time again, and know which experts to hire to prove them to the court if necessary. They can help you understand what you can get compensation for, and without one, you are unlikely to get any of these less direct costs back…or even the majority of the obvious ones!

2. Ocean City Insurance Companies Delay Or Refuse To Pay.

Even when you can add up everything and present an insurance company with an easy figure to digest, chances are they will refuse it, delay payments, dispute costs, or claim their client was not, in fact, responsible for your injury. From victim blaming to outright bad-faith denials, insurance companies will all too often stop at nothing to pay you less because every penny they do not pay you is profit in their pockets. Personal injury lawyers in Ocean City and elsewhere have seen this behavior time and time again from insurance companies. They know when to push back, when to use evidence, how to negotiate, and where to draw the line. Most importantly, perhaps, they know when to take insurance companies to court with a personal injury lawsuit and how to win it. Chances are that is not something you know how to do on your own or would have any success trying.

When Insurance Companies Drag Their Feet, Ocean City Personal Injury Lawyers Light A Fire Under Them

Your life and recover are just numbers to an insurance company, costs and profits, and many of them will deny, delay, or deceive you into receiving less than you are due. When that happens, a lawsuit, or the threat of a lawsuit, may be the only way to obtain what you deserve from a judge or settlement.
