5 Ways a Personal Injury Lawyer Can HelpIf you’ve been injured as the result of a car accident, dog bite, a fall or other situation chances are you feel overwhelmed and anxious. In addition to physical and emotional pain you may have worries about finances, taking care of your family, keeping your job, and wondering if you’ll ever get your life back the way it was before your injury. Moreover, you find yourself thrown into a complex legal world trying to sort out how to proceed and get the compensation you need and deserve. That’s where a personal injury lawyer comes in. Your attorney is here to help manage your entire case and reduce the distress you are dealing with in the process. Below are five functions your personal injury lawyer performs:

  1. Explain Your Rights—your attorney knows the laws of your state and how they pertain to you. Sorting out who’s at fault, if there is negligence involved and what you are entitled to is something your lawyer can help clarify. At Tiemann Law Firm we offer our clients a free consultation. Your lawyer can reduce confusion and help you feel secure knowing that a knowledgeable and experienced person is in your corner.
  2. Offer Advice—sometimes it can be hard to tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys.” Your attorney will let you know who you should talk to and will even interact with doctors, insurance agents and others involved in your case. It’s natural to experience many emotions as a victim like frustration, anger, and fear. An attorney will provide opinions that are objective and help you make the best decisions.
  3. Navigate the Legal System—filing papers, statutes of limitation, mediation and arbitration can all be part of the process, and each has its own set of rules. A personal injury lawyer knows what needs to be done when, so you’re not left on your own to figure it out.
  4. Assess Damages—an attorney knows from experience that there are expenses down the road related to your injury that you may not even have thought about. Your lawyer can explain what compensation you’re entitled to and help evaluate any settlement offers you receive.
  5. Represent You in Court—although most personal injury cases do not make it to trial, if yours does your attorney will be there to present evidence and make sure all litigation procedures are handled properly.

Have you or a loved one been a victim of a DUI, car, truck, or motorcycle accident, dog attack, or a slip and fall incident? If so, Tiemann Law Firm can help. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free, same-day consultation by calling: (916) 999-9000 or toll-free: (800) 712-2000.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

Here's the thing... Nobody really thinks much about lawyers until they need one.  Well, we needed one!  The Tieman Law Firm came through for us in a big way. They were professional, courteous, thorough, and had excellent staff as well.  Highly recommended...

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
