When women take Depo-Provera shots, they never expect to develop any type of injuries or meningiomas on their brain or spine. Instead, they trust that the manufacturer is aware of any risks or hazards associated with their product and has given the proper warnings that consumers need to know. Therefore, when injuries or meningiomas occur, you should consider hiring a product liability lawyer as soon as possible. The following are seven benefits of a product liability lawyer when injured by Depo-Provera:
1. They can help you obtain the best medical attention available:
If you have not already obtained medical attention or do not believe that you have received the treatment that you need, an attorney can give you recommendations and even potentially make a few calls to some of the best medical providers in the industry. Your attorney will want to make sure that you are receiving the best available medical care and that you are on the road to recovery before moving forward with your claim.
2. They have experience, knowledge, and skills in similar cases:
When hiring a product liability lawyer, you can rest assured knowing that they have experience, knowledge, and skills in similar cases. This means that they know how to handle cases involving defective or harmful products like Depo-Provera and also understand what you and your family are currently going through. While a lawyer cannot promise you a specific outcome, they can show you that they know the laws and procedures surrounding your case, which can increase your chances of receiving maximum compensation for your losses.
3. They know how to properly negotiate for your needs:
Insurance companies resolve most product liability cases by providing settlements to victims. Therefore, when you retain a product liability attorney, you can rely on them to properly negotiate for your needs. They will make sure that they are aware of your losses, they know how much your claim is worth, and that they look at every settlement offer you receive and determine whether it is fair based on your needs. Large pharmaceutical companies usually have insurance companies that are not only intimidating but also use certain tactics to trick people into taking lower settlements than they are owed. However, if you have an attorney with strong negotiation skills in your corner, you can increase your chances of securing a higher settlement than if you were negotiating on your own.
4. They can help you make well-informed decisions regarding your case:
If you decide to handle your product liability case on your own, you may not be familiar with the difficult legal system and how legal claims work. However, with a lawyer by your side, you can prepare for any actions made by the defendant and their team as well as make decisions on how to handle any issues or problems that arise. A lawyer will use their knowledge and experience to analyze your case, inform you of your options, and ensure that you make decisions that will secure the best results possible.
5. They can help you obtain the financial relief you need as quickly as possible:
Without an attorney, you most likely cannot file a claim and pursue compensation until you have healed from your injuries. Therefore, depending on the extent and severity of your injuries after taking Depo-Provera, you could wait a very long time to get any type of financial relief for your losses. This could lead to more stress and frustration as your bills and expenses will continue to pile up. However, product liability lawyers are able to file a claim while you are still healing. They also know how to prepare for and address any hurdles or roadblocks that emerge along the way, which can result in a faster resolution for your case.
6. They can help you avoid making mistakes and errors:
: Even if you have experience with other types of personal injury cases, you could still make a mistake or error that could jeopardize your claim. For example, you may forget to turn in paperwork on time, you may decide to skip a doctor’s appointment, or you may say something to the defendant’s insurance company that could be used to minimize your claim. However, a lawyer can help you avoid making any mistakes or errors by keeping you informed on what is needed and required of you in order to have a successful case.
7. They can make the legal process a lot easier and give you peace of mind:
When you are focused on your health and well-being and trying to recover from your injuries, the last thing you likely want to do is deal with a stressful and complex legal claim. However, if you hire a lawyer, they will handle all the legal aspects of your claim, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and fight for the fair payout you deserve.
