No one should have to navigate the legal and financial turmoil of a serious injury alone. In the aftermath of a car accident, workplace injury, or medical mistake, the last thing anyone wants to worry about is battling insurance companies for fair compensation. For those in Connecticut, the Carter Mario Law Firm steps forward to fight that battle in their place.
“Two years ago, we ran a community campaign asking people to tell us about their heroes,” recalls Alex Mario, attorney at Carter Mario Law Firm. “They all described people they counted on to protect, support, and fight for them. Personal injury lawyers are heroes, too. We stand up to bullies, protect those in need, and push back on the parties who take advantage when people are down. We meet people when they are most vulnerable and fight to win them the justice they deserve.”
How Carter Mario Law Firm views the role of a personal injury lawyer
When a person suffers a severe injury due to another’s negligence, the road to recovery is physically and emotionally daunting. Taking on the complex legal system requires specific knowledge and skills that few possess.
Personal injury lawyers step in to fill this gap by using their expertise to represent clients in court or settlement negotiations. They are the voice of the injured, telling their stories and bringing light to their sufferings.
Personal injury lawyers provide legal advice rooted in a deep understanding of state and federal laws, analyzing the specifics of each case and determining the best legal strategy to pursue. This might involve filing a lawsuit against the negligent party, negotiating a settlement, or seeking alternative dispute resolution options.
Building a solid case also requires thorough investigation and evidence gathering. Personal injury lawyers collect medical records, accident reports, and witness statements, and then collaborate with medical professionals and accident reconstruction analysts to strengthen the case.
“Just like you would want a heart surgeon to perform your heart surgery instead of your primary care physician, you want a personal injury lawyer for your injury case — not a general lawyer,” Alex observes. “A personal injury lawyer handles these types of cases day in and day out and is an expert. For personal injury cases, it truly matters who you get.”
Injury victims need a hero in their corner like Carter Mario Law Firm
Insurance adjusters are skilled at minimizing payouts and can be formidable opponents. Primarily motivated by profit, they regularly deny claims and offer minimal compensation.
Insurance adjusters also routinely offer quick settlements to close cases quickly. However, their initial offers often severely undervalue the full extent of an injury victim’s injuries and losses. The Insurance Research Council finds that when injury victims work with a personal injury attorney, they get up to 3.5 times more in compensation than people without representation.
“Insurance companies make significant profit by minimizing what they pay out in claims to victims while maximizing what they charge their insureds in premiums,” observes Luke Mario, another attorney at Carter Mario Law Firm. “Essentially, they win when you lose. Personal injury lawyers, on the other hand, only win when you win, as they work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay your personal injury lawyer nothing unless they win your case. You have zero out-of-pocket risk, and your lawyer will guide you through what is likely a very dark time in your life. A personal injury lawyer will not only advise you throughout the entire process but also negotiate your claim and zealously advocate your case.”
At Carter Mario Law Firm, the guiding philosophy is a zero-fee warranty — a promise that clients pay nothing unless the firm wins their case. This levels the playing field and ensures that clients get the compensation they rightfully deserve.
Personal injury lawyers ensure that their clients are not undervalued or ignored. They employ strategies to counter lowball offers and fight for fair compensation that adequately covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
The seasoned attorneys at Carter Mario Law Firm are adept at examining the true worth of each case, considering both the immediate impact and future implications of the injuries sustained. Their proven process accounts for the client’s immediate medical expenses, long-term care needs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost quality of life. They ensure that settlements and court awards truly reflect the full extent of each client’s injury and provide them with the means for a secure future.
How personal injury lawyers are heroes in and out of the courtroom
Beyond their legal responsibilities, personal injury lawyers offer emotional support and guidance to clients. They understand the psychological toll an injury can take and provide compassionate counseling, ensuring clients feel supported throughout the legal process. They also explain legal terms, inform clients about the case’s progress, and offer reassurance.
