How A Lehigh River Boating Accident Attorney Helps

If you’ve been injured in a Lehigh River boating accident resulting from the negligence of another party, you can seek compensation for your losses/damages by filing a claim with the negligent party’s insurance.

Sometimes, a negligent party will be uninsured, or their insurer will stubbornly refuse to offer an appropriate settlement. Filing a lawsuit to pursue damages in court is another option in these circumstances.

Losses for which you may seek compensation include (but aren’t necessarily limited to) the following:

  • Medical bills, which may include the cost of future medical treatment
  • Lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working
  • Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering

It’s wise to enlist the help of a legal professional when seeking compensation. An attorney can improve your chances of securing the full amount of compensation you deserve by:

  • Identifying the liable parties
  • Conducting an investigation to gather evidence of negligence
  • Adding up your compensable losses to calculate your claim’s potential value
  • Filing a claim or lawsuit on your behalf
  • Negotiating with the insurance company for a settlement if they don’t offer one

Most importantly, when a qualified attorney with Dan Doyle Law Group is handling your case, you can focus on your recovery instead of burdening yourself with the process of seeking compensation. Learn more by contacting us online or calling us.
