Myths around hiring a personal injury lawyer, a 2022 ThreeBestRated® award winner personal injury lawyer from Moncton, NB explains

With the losses you suffer when you’re injured or get in a serious accident because of someone else’s fault, be it physical, emotional or financial, the question that comes to mind is what’s next? How are you going to manage your day-to-day life and the extra monetary burden also what about the time loss? While few are ready to take the next step, most people are hesitant at first to hire a personal injury lawyer because of the myths around the process.

Stéphane F. Viola, a 2022 ThreeBestRated® award-winning personal injury lawyer from Moncton, NB breaks down the common myths that make an injured person reluctant to hire a personal injury lawyer to represent them in the court.

• All claims are capped by the province’s legislation on minor personal injuries.

Insurance companies or their representatives always suggest that most injuries are capped(obviously) and will offer a settlement for the cap amount. People need to resist the urge to take the money and instead consult an experienced personal injury lawyer. Once the money is accepted, all of the victim’s rights are released and there’s nothing further that can be done even if the person’s situation takes a turn for the worst which was not anticipated. You don’t need to be in a wheelchair or unable to work for your injury claim to exceed the cap legislation.

• Lawyers are expensive and people can’t afford to consult or retain a lawyer.

Untrue – most lawyers will offer a free initial consultation. Also, if a lawyer decides to take up your case, then most often it will be under a Contingent Fee Agreement – which is an agreement where the fees payable to the lawyer are conditional on the result achieved. In other words, no matter what occurs in a case, how long it takes or how difficult it becomes, the lawyer’s fees are fixed at a set percentage. So if a lawyer cannot recuperate any money for a client, then there are no fees to be paid to the lawyer.  This is a risk-free endeavour for most clients. Obviously, some exceptions do exist but most often not.
