Hiring a Lawyer to Handle Personal Injury Claims Makes a Tough Week More Bearable

Many studies indicate that people dread Mondays the most, compared to all the other days in the week. The source of this dread is because the two-day weekend is over and that they will be returning to a job they dislike. From a nice relaxing afternoon of sipping tea and watching the telly, employees have to deal with the rising anxiety of returning to work the next day.

In contrast to Mondays, studies indicate that Friday is the day that employees favour the most. After five days of extreme tension, this last weekday gives them an opportunity to look forward to a nice relaxing couple of days once more.

Given employees’ love for Fridays, it is no wonder that many hate it when accidents occur on this day. Instead of going home, they need to spend time either in the company’s clinic or in a hospital emergency room.

And instead of spending the time to heal, they end up using all their free time to think about how to file personal injury claims when Monday comes along. And if Mondays were not bad enough, it will get worse because filing a claim is only the beginning of a possible long drawn out battle that can last weeks at a time.

Once out of the company’s clinic or emergency room, accident victims now have to contend with preparing the documents needed to back up any injury claims. And while getting information from a company clinic does not necessary mean taking time off from work, getting one’s medical records from the emergency room in a hospital may require skipping work for at least a day. And that means another day of not getting paid, in addition to the days already lost while being confined in the hospital.

Then there are the days that an employee has to skip in order to physically file the case, to attend settlement discussions, and to show up at court. This means more days of not getting paid.

It is for these reasons that many accident victims prefer hiring a lawyer to handle their personal injury claims. Not only does the burden of collecting information and meeting with the other party get offloaded to them, good lawyers can be counted upon to work out compensation to cover for the days one was not able to come to work.

Monday may be the most dreaded day of the week, but getting injured on a Friday is even worse. Not only does it destroy a good weekend, it makes the coming Monday even more dreadful that it already is.

This is why many people hire lawyers to take care of their injury claims. By having someone else take care of the footwork, victims can go back to enjoying their Fridays once more.
