Why Hire an Attorney for Your Legal Claim?

If you plan on pursuing a legal claim, you may initially wonder if you should hire an attorney to represent you in your case. You may have heard that hiring a lawyer can help you obtain a better result and streamline the litigation process. The insurance companies of those who have caused your injuries or a loved one’s death will get legal counsel and accident investigators almost immediately.  In most circumstances so should you in order to protect you and your family’s rights. There are several benefits to hiring a highly experienced, respected, and qualified law firm as soon as practical after a significant accident or incident.

At Bashein & Bashein, our Cleveland personal injury attorneys strive for excellence for every client and will not rest until we recover full and fair compensation for our clients. Our trial team will provide our clients multiple advantages during the claims process or if a legal action needs to be filed.

  • Extensive Legal Knowledge, Experience, and a well-recognized Track Record: Our attorneys have over 150 years of combined legal experience representing injured people or families for tragic deaths of loved ones across Ohio and the United States.  We are also deeply familiar with state and federal law and the court systems in the state and federal courts.  With this knowledge and experience, we can guide you through each stage of the litigation and help you understand what to expect during the process while at the same time seeking complete and fair compensation.
  • An Objective and Informed Perspective: When you are injured or a family member has been tragically lost, it can be difficult to objectively assess your case and understand what to do next.  Because our experienced attorneys understand personal injury law and have represented thousands of other individuals and families in similar cases, we can provide objective and experienced advice throughout your case.  We can help protect you and your family’s best interests and help you make the most informed decision on what to do next.
  • Saved Time and Effort: Wrongful death and serious injury litigation can be stressful and take time to resolve.  When you are suffering from a recent injury or have lost a loved one due to someone’s or a company’s negligence or conduct, handling a lawsuit is a difficult task.  It is stressful and difficult to manage injury and death claims without experienced and dedicated assistance.  Our firm can handle all of the legal issues on your and your family’s behalf so you can focus on what matters most:  your health and the health and wellness of your family under very difficult circumstances.  We can also help you avoid common errors that would otherwise delay or disrupt your case.
  • Advocacy for Your Highest Possible Settlement: As an injury victim or having lost a loved one, you want to ensure that you recover the compensation that you and your family deserve.  Accepting an insufficient award could lead to financial hardship in the future and not account for ongoing future damages that often will affect a person or their family for the rest of their lives.  Our firm will help determine potential settlement ranges and evaluate any offers that you receive.  If you are not offered full and fair compensation, we will negotiate aggressively on your behalf and, when necessary, be prepared to file or try your case in the courts.
