When you’re injured due to a company’s negligence, there are bound to be quite a few emotions going through your mind. This is especially true when you’re filing a claim for a personal injury settlement.
Are these emotions bad for you and your case? There are three emotions that could lead to you not getting a settlement at all or not getting as much of a settlement as is possible for your case. Let’s take a look at those emotions and how they can affect your case.
Emotion #1: Anger
Anger can be one of the worst emotions to act on. When someone is angry, they tend to make their decisions or choices based on general facts. They don’t stop to think about other options or alternatives. Just because you hired the first attorney who would take your case doesn’t mean this lawyer is the right one for you. Don’t let your anger talk you into making any uninformed decisions like hiring the wrong on for your case. Hiring a QUALIFIED attorney can increase the chances you have of recovering a larger settlement from the negligent company that caused you harm.
Emotion #2: Depression
It is a known fact that you’re going to be anxious after the accident or even depressed that it happened in the first place. But what if you were so depressed that you didn’t get the legal help you deserve? That is a question you need to pose to yourself before you let the depression squeeze you out of the determination to take action in your case.
If you don’t take timely action, such as filing a claim within the statute of limitations for the accident, you will be out of luck when you do want to file the claim. Don’t let your possible depression prevent you from taking action to protect your rights in your case! When you connect with the right attorney for you, they will take care of the legal side of your claim so you can focus entirely on recovery from your injuries.
Emotion #3: Greed
Think about it this way: You were injured by a company that makes hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. If you think about the settlement in a greedy light, such as wanting to go after every penny you possibly can, you’ll be left feeling disappointed with the outcome. That’s not to mention the frustration you will feel when you realize you’re not ever able to make the kind of money you were hoping for or expecting to get because of your greed.
At the end of the day, what you believe you deserve and what is possible to receive as a settlement are not always the same number. If you work with an attorney, however, you can more successfully attempt to get the money the lawyer knows is possible for your case. It would end up being more than what you would get if you didn’t hire the right lawyer for you.
