If you're facing a personal injury claim, you're no doubt at a low point. You are not only injured, but those injuries were also caused by someone else's negligence. It's a lot to process, and you are facing a journey toward physical and emotional recovery – but you are not alone. A dedicated personal injury attorney will help skillfully guide your claim toward its best possible resolution while you apply yourself to the important work of regaining your health and strength.
Personal injury claims can be the result of accidents of every type, and we regularly work with individuals who have been injured in:
If you’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, you may have no idea how best to proceed. After all, you’re probably as physically and emotionally vulnerable as you’ve ever been. Better understanding the personal injury process, however, can make it less daunting. All of the following apply:
Obtaining the medical attention you need. If you are offered medical care at the scene of the accident, accept it. If not, seek medical attention on your own. If the accident involves significant impact, you could suffer a silent injury that, although it has no outward symptoms, can be extremely serious – and when left unattended, can become more serious still (and more difficult to treat). Finally, you are well-advised to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. This is not only the right thing to do for your health but is also the right thing to do for your personal injury claim. If you ignore your health concerns, it gives the insurance company more license to do the same.
Finding the right personal injury attorney for you. Personal injury claims are complicated, and you are far more likely to obtain the compensation to which you are entitled when you have a dedicated personal attorney with whom you feel comfortable working on your side. While you attend to your health concerns, your intrepid personal injury attorney will attend to building your strongest claim.
From here, your attorney will go about gathering evidence in support of your claim, which can include physical evidence at the scene, eyewitness statements, and expert testimony that corroborates your claim.
Ultimately, your personal injury attorney will skillfully negotiate with the insurance company for compensation that addresses your damages in their entirety. This includes your physical, financial, and emotional damages, which must be accurately assessed and calculated. Your skilled personal injury attorney will leave no stone unturned in his or her efforts to obtain just compensation that allows you the clearest path toward recovery.
Only if the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly will your attorney guide your personal injury claim toward a lawsuit that he or she litigates in court. The vast majority of these cases are settled out of court, but litigation remains a powerful tool that the right personal injury attorney for you will deftly employ if the need arises.
The most important step you can take after seeking the medical attention you need is consulting with a seasoned personal injury attorney.
You’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, and accurately accounting for the damages you’ve suffered can be overwhelming. It can help, however, to classify these damages into the following categories:
Let’s examine each a bit more closely.
Your physical damages are your injuries, and these can be extremely debilitating. Even a relatively minor injury can lay you low for a considerable amount of time. Further, serious injuries are closely associated with overarching health concerns that can flow into your future. Living with a permanent injury, such as paralysis or amputation, must be addressed directly to help ensure you receive compensation that allows you to move forward toward a future that maximizes your potential and minimizes the effects of your permanent injury.
Your financial damages will likely be grouped into your medical expenses and your lost earnings. Medical expenses can add up quickly and are often ongoing. The following costs can all apply:
In addition to your medical expenses, there are lost wages to consider, and all of the following may apply:
The financial damages associated with a serious injury tend to be extensive.
While it’s difficult to put a price tag on the emotional pain and suffering you endure, it is, nevertheless, important to address. The psychological turmoil associated with being seriously injured as a result of someone else’s negligence can be debilitating and should never be overlooked or discounted.
