- Speeding Up the Claims Process
The insurance companies will delay the personal injury claims process for as long as possible. Oftentimes, it can take months or even years to make any progress with your claim. After an accident, you’ll likely need the payout sooner rather than later to assist with your recovery.

An experienced attorney like Cesar Ornelas will take the lead in the negotiations with the insurance company and fight for the maximum compensation possible for your injuries.
- Victims With Proper Legal Representation End Up With Bigger Settlements
More often than not, personal injury claims don’t end up in court. Instead, you negotiate with the insurance company to reach a settlement. Choosing to represent yourself in a scenario like this is extremely risky. There’s a lot on the line and the average person lacks the negotiating experience to get the largest settlement possible.

You do have the option to file your own lawsuit and represent yourself in court. Be aware that the defendant will most likely have a professional working with them which will make it hard for you to stand a chance at winning.
