Why Do I Need To Retain A Personal Injury Lawyer?

Many clients who first contact us at Grillo Law leave their initial (free) consultation with a renewed sense of security that their rights will be protected and that their injuries will be compensated. We take pride in fighting for our clients and have a dedicated track-record of excellent results.
Nevertheless, the question is often raised: why do I need a personal injury lawyer at all? If the case seems more straightforward after our consultation, some may (mistakenly) think that this means that a lawyer is no longer necessary.

Here are some considerations:

Firstly, hiring a competent lawyer and utilizing the resources of a large and specialized injury firm such as ours means increased negotiating power and resources at your disposal. Often times the difference between a merely satisfactory payout and a good payout will come down to persuasive and argumentative skills, understanding of the law, investigative skills and ability to secure necessary evidence to prove a claim. Here at Grillo Law we have over 30 years of experience advocating for clients such as yourself, dealing with insurance companies, other law firms, and counter-parties.

Secondly, allowing a legal team to fight for your rights on your behalf allows the injured victim to focus your efforts on the recovery process. Having a legal professional on your side allows you to direct your energies to getting better and returning to your everyday life, sooner.

Another advantage of having a legal team on your side is the ability to react dynamically to changes in the case. Lawyers can often tell their clients, based on their experience, how the case will go, but the fact is that every case is new and presents unique challenges. Many times there will arise issues and disputes with the other side, insurance companies, or there will just be outright changes in the law that are detrimental to accident victims. As lawyers with years of professional experience, we feel we are best equipped to deal with such challenges.

Fourthly, the claims status for damage recovery in Ontario can be a lengthy and formalistic process. There are often many minute procedural steps to undertake. Even forgetting or omitting one of these legal process steps can be fatal to your case! Seeking a lawyer will ensure that all procedures are properly followed and that your case is properly handled from the start.

No Downside Risk. At Grillo Law we offer a unique, client- tailored approach where the needs of the client come first. As a result, our fees are charged on a contingency basis, where you do not pay unless we win or able to settle your claim. The result is that there is no downside risk in choosing our legal services.

In conclusion, choosing a personal injury lawyer such as Grillo Law helps ensure that your legal rights are fully protected and that you are able to achieve the best possible settlement or outcome. Do not hesitate to call us today!
