If you’re still on the fence about whether to bother hiring an attorney for your personal injury case, keep reading! When it comes to personal injury cases, the age-old saying that “less is more” doesn’t apply. There is a world of difference between the quick and easy option or choosing a team of professionals to fight for you. There are many reasons why hiring a personal injury lawyer will be beneficial for you and your case. We’ve focused on the top 10 reasons to keep in mind when making this important decision:

  1. Personal injury lawyers are needed for more than just car accidents, though car accidents make up a large portion of personal injury cases.
  2. The first offer from your insurance company is almost always the least beneficial. Your attorney will challenge this and get you what you deserve.
  3. Studies have shown that hiring an attorney to represent your case can double to triple the outcome of your compensation.
  4. Each case is different – this isn’t to say that looking over a similar case to yours isn’t recommended, however, keep in mind that it will differ. Your attorney will help pinpoint exactly how and where this could affect your case.
  5. Compensation from a personal injury case can arise from more than just physical injury – it could include physical, psychological, or emotional illness, among others.
  6. Your case will take time – patience is key. Having an attorney help you through this process and make sense of the timeline, as well as what to expect, will be immensely beneficial.
  7. Over 90% of personal injury cases won’t end up going to trial. This is especially true for those working with an attorney who can cut through unnecessary steps and processes.
  8. Even if you only had one accident resulting in your personal injury, that one accident can result in multiple suits.
  9. Once you finalize settling in your case, there’s no going back. A specialized attorney can comb through the most complicated parts for optimal results.
  10. Two or more parties are always involved – that includes yourself, the opposing party, as well as your insurance company and theirs. Between these several parties, having a firm and direct representative for your communications can make or break your case.

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.
