While you may want to save money on legal fees and avoid hiring a lawyer, it can be very difficult to handle an Ozempic vision loss case on your own. These cases come with various obstacles and challenges that an attorney can help you deal with and overcome. An attorney can also help you meet deadlines, make the right decisions, and increase your chances of winning your case and obtaining maximum compensation for your damages. If you are still not convinced, here are seven ways that a Philadelphia attorney can assist you with your Ozempic vision loss claim:
1. They will investigate your case:
Even though the insurance company will investigate themselves, your attorney will also conduct their own investigation to determine what exactly happened, how it happened, and why you experienced vision loss from the product. Their investigation will be in-depth and thorough, and they will ensure that they do not miss any facts or details related to your case.
2. They will determine all at-fault parties:
A lawyer can help you determine liability and find all at-fault parties that are responsible for the harm you experienced. In some cases, there is only one at-fault party, and in other cases, there are multiple at-fault parties. Therefore, it is important to have assistance with identifying all businesses, companies, and people who are responsible for your vision loss. If you leave any liable parties out, you may leave money on the table that you actually need for your recovery and future.
3. They will communicate with the insurance company:
Insurance companies can be difficult to communicate with. They will either try to twist and turn your statements to fit their narrative, or they will refuse to cooperate and speak to you. However, if you have an Ozempic vision loss attorney by your side, they will handle all forms of communication with the insurance company and demand that you receive a fair settlement. This will ensure that you do not say anything that could be used against you and that the insurance company will take your claim seriously and not offer you a low-ball settlement.
4. They will help you obtain and collect evidence:
Evidence is a critical part of Ozempic vision loss cases. Therefore, you want to make sure that you obtain strong and convincing evidence to support your claim. A lawyer can help you obtain certain information and documents, such as medical records, company records, and doctor’s notes, which can help you successfully prove the direct connection between the at-fault party’s negligence or wrongdoings and your vision loss.
5. They will hire expert witnesses:
Expert witnesses are professionals who have experience, training, or knowledge of a certain subject that relates to your case. Your attorney can hire an expert witness to break down the facts of your case and explain how Ozempic caused your vision loss. This could potentially be a doctor, ophthalmologist, pharmacist, or an individual who has previously worked at a pharmaceutical company.
6. They will determine how much your claim is worth:
It can be challenging to know how much exactly your claim is worth, which is why you need an attorney who can calculate your damages and come up with a fair and accurate amount based on your losses. They will likely work with other professionals, such as accountants, doctors, ophthalmologists, and caregivers, to determine how much money you deserve to live a comfortable life going forward. Without an attorney’s help, you may not realize how much your claim is actually worth, resulting in you taking less than you deserve.
7. They will prepare to take your case to court, if necessary:
If an insurance company fails to cooperate and refuses to work with you, your Ozempic vision loss lawyer will prepare to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. If you agree to take the case to trial, your lawyer will present the facts and evidence to the judge or jury, and they will decide who is liable and how much compensation you will be awarded. While this may sound intimidating and nerve-racking, your lawyer will ensure that you are fully ready and prepared for the court proceedings. Sometimes, it takes filing a lawsuit for the insurance company to decide that they would rather give you a fair settlement than to go through a lengthy and stressful court battle.
