When to Call a Personal Injury Lawyer

    DALLAS, TX, December 18, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- I injured in a car accident; do I need a lawyer? My surgeon operated on the wrong hand; do I need a lawyer? I was fired without reason; do I need a lawyer? In these situations, the answer is yes, you probably should call a lawyer. However, suing other people in hopes of making a buck is becoming quite an epidemic. Frivolous lawsuits without any real damage done to the plaintiff are very common. Most do not even make it past the first stage in the personal injury lawsuit process because they are ludicrous. Lawsuits with no substance are referred to as frivolous; however, there are many cases that hiring a personal injury lawyer is absolutely necessary.

If you have been harmed by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, or if a loved one has died due to the reckless or criminal behavior of a person or company, you should definitely contact an experienced personal injury lawyer. At this time of tragedy, the last thing you need to concern yourself with is the paperwork, deadlines, and red tape that are often associated with filing a lawsuit. That's what attorneys are for. They understand the law inside and out and can explain to you your legal rights following some harm that was done to you through no fault of your own allowing you to focus on healing and/or taking care of your family.

The reasons to contact a personal injury lawyer are quite extensive, but here are some of the most common practice areas that personal injury lawyers deal with:

- Motor vehicle accidents
- Medical errors (medical malpractice/negligence)
- Wrongful death
- Dangerous/defective drugs (drugs that have been recalled)
- Defective vehicles (and tires, safety belts, braking systems, etc)
- Slips and falls on other people's property (known as premises liability law)

Even if you feel your injury is not that serious or if your tire blowing out didn't hurt anyone, that does not mean someone should not be held accountable for injury or damage that could have occurred. Manufacturers and retailers owe consumers a certain standard of care and safety.

If your surgeon operated on the wrong limb or if your pharmacist dispensed a medication you are allergic to, the parties must be held responsible. Experienced personal injury attorneys have handled thousands of these cases and they know how to fight to get you the compensation and justice you deserve.

If you feel you have suffered due to someone else's negligence then you should contact a personal injury lawyer.
