If you have been injured due to the negligence of another, you may be entitled to obtain compensation for any resulting damages. In the legal world, the term damages refers to financial losses suffered by an injury victim; these may include medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair costs, and emotional pain and suffering.
Obtaining compensation after a personal injury accident requires you to show that you have suffered harm, and that another’s negligence directly caused this harm. But when you are recovering from a serious injury, the last thing you want to be focused on is building a case against the at-fault party. That’s where an experienced personal injury lawyer can provide immense relief. And the good news is that most—but not all—personal injury attorneys offer free initial consultations.
At Burwell Nebout Trial Lawyers, our highly-skilled team of personal injury attorneys has helped countless clients get the full compensation they deserve in a timely manner. We provide a free consultation to all injury clients, during which we evaluate their case to determine if they have a valid claim, do an initial estimate of damages to be recovered, and ensure that the client fully understands their rights and options. If you have been injured, contact Burwell Newbout Trial Lawyers today for a free and confidential consultation about your case.
Personal injury cases can be particularly challenging because they often involve serious or debilitating injuries, and the victim’s fear of how to provide for their family while they are unable to work. Due to this pain, stress, and fear, many personal injury victims settle for significantly less than they’re entitled to, for the sole purpose of getting at least some money in time to keep the power on and put food on the table. But the reality is, you may be entitled to thousands, or even tens-of-thousands of dollars more than that initial settlement offer.
At your free consultation, the team at Burwell Nebout Trial Lawyers will evaluate your claim and gather as much information as possible to determine the most appropriate legal strategy for your unique case. Do not keep any pertinent details about the incident or your injury from the lawyer. The more information they have, the better able they will be to win your case.
You can get the most out of your free consultation with an injury lawyer by coming to the meeting prepared. Some of the items we recommend bringing to your free consultation include:

If you have been harmed by the negligent, reckless, or careless actions of another, you have rights. If you have a valid personal injury case, your lawyer should begin the process of recovering damages, which may include medical bills, lost wages, and emotional pain and suffering, among others.
Step one is usually to send a demand letter to the negligent party’s insurance company, outlining the basis of the legal action and the intent to bring a lawsuit against the insured, and making an immediate request for compensation for any losses.
The at-fault party may claim responsibility and settle out of court, or they may claim no responsibility, at which point your attorney should file a formal lawsuit. The at-fault party has until the lawsuit goes to trial to settle.
If you have been injured due to the negligent, reckless, or careless actions of another, the skilled legal team at Burwell Nebout Trial Lawyers can help. It is critical to avoid speaking with anyone at the other party’s insurance company prior to a consultation with your lawyer. We will evaluate the details of your case, determine fault, gather evidence to substantiate your claim, and negotiate for the maximum possible settlement. Although we always aim to settle out of court, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to trial if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.
