Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

A lawyer will protect your needs and interests as you fight to get the compensation you deserve after an elevator or escalator accident. These claims can be complicated because they involve many parties, including property owners, business owners, equipment manufacturers, maintenance workers, insurance companies, and more. This can be overwhelming, especially if you are still recovering from your injuries. An experienced Dallas premises liability attorney from The Benton Law Firm can represent your direct interests in conversations with all responsible parties to get your claim’s attention.

Insurance companies love talking to injured victims who do not have attorneys because they know they have a better chance of persuading them to take a low settlement offer. Do not let the insurance companies take advantage of your situation. A personal injury lawyer from The Benton Law Firm will talk to the insurance company on your behalf to protect you. We work with insurance companies, which means we know when to accept a settlement and when to fight for a better offer.

You may have heard of the statute of limitations. Another element of legal proceedings best managed by an attorney. The statute of limitations is a set of laws that govern how soon you must claim before you lose your ability to recover. In most situations, the Texas statute of limitations for personal injuries is two years from the date of the injury, but exceptions can apply. Some insurance companies can also require a shorter time window to make a claim. An attorney from The Benton Law Firm will know how to keep your claim on track, so you don’t need to worry.
