Have you been injured?

If you or someone you know has been injured through the fault of another person, you have every right to bring a personal injury claim. Prior to making any statement to an insurance company or settling your case, you should first get the basic facts regarding your legal rights. Request FREE information from an experienced attorney.

Personal injury settlements and awards usually result in money for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and property damage. If you have been in an accident and are injured, you or your attorney should take steps to ensure you can make a successful claim.

First, seek medical attention to ensure your short and long term health. Continually remind your physician in subsequent medical appointments about your accident so that the accident, your injuries, causation and the course of your care are well documented. Your doctor's notes and reports are extremely important as they will be scrutinized by the at-fault party, their attorney and the insurance adjuster.

Second, make sure you write, in ample detail, all of the facts surrounding the accident, your injuries, medical care and specific details about how the accident affected your life. Take photographs documenting the accident and your injuries. If you fail to do these things immediately you may later forget key details. It is the details that can turn a personal injury claim into a very successful personal injury claim. Statements from witnesses at the scene of the accident are also very important.

Finally, as soon as you are able, you should begin to look for a personal injury attorney. Hiring a personal injury attorney will significantly increase the amount of compensation
you receive. Car accident cases are usually more complicated than you might imagine and require technical evidence, expert witnesses, and very specific legal knowledge. Loss of evidence and statutes of limitations may limit your ability to file a claim if you do not act quickly. The at-fault insurance company is not your friend nor do they intend to look out for your best interests, their concerns relate only to how much money can be saved by low-balling the value of your claims and damages. Talking to the insurance company before you have talked with an attorney can harm or even obliterate your chance of recovery. In many cases, insurance companies negotiate more quickly when you have the support of a personal injury attorney.
