What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

When life’s unexpected accidents occur, understanding your legal options is crucial. Personal injury lawyers are often a lifeline during these challenging times. But what exactly does a personal injury lawyer do, and how can they assist you? J. David Greene from Greene & Phillips recently shed light on this topic during a conversation with Joe Emer on Studio 10.

What Defines a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Personal injury lawyers specialize in representing individuals who have been injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of others. Unlike other legal fields, personal injury attorneys focus solely on helping individuals—not insurance companies or corporations.

When an individual is injured in some way, that’s when they may consider having a personal injury lawyer like Greene & Phillips

David’s Personal Story of Choosing his Profession

Growing up, David’s father worked in a paper mill and once told him about a coworker who suffered a serious fall. David was disturbed to hear that very little could be done to help the injured worker. This pivotal moment sparked his interest in the law, eventually leading him to discover that options like worker’s compensation and third-party claims can provide much-needed support for injured individuals.

Helping Individuals Even Decades Later

For David, the motivation to practice personal injury law has remained strong over the decades. He sees his role as a way to “level the playing field” for individuals up against large companies and insurance providers. Whether it’s a family member seeking guidance or an injured person unsure of their rights, David and his team work to ensure their clients receive the compensation they deserve.

“We’re sort of the answer people when someone gets severely hurt,” David said. “We want to make sure we level the playing field.”
