New Accident
If you have recently been in an accident and are injured, you should take the following steps:
- 1) Seek treatment at an Emergency Room or with your primary physician.
- 2) Do not talk to the adjuster about your injuries other than the fact you were hurt. (YOU ARE MOST LIKELY BEING RECORDED)
- 3) Seek legal advice from a qualified personal injury attorney – - NOT FROM A JACK OF ALL TRADES LAWYER. Lawyers are like doctors, they have specialties.
- 4) Follow through with your medical treatment. Following through with your medical treatment has two benefits in an auto accident claim. First, following through with your medical treatment decreases the risk of future complications. Secondly, it increases the value of your claim.
Claim $ Value
All accidents, which you are hurt offer an opportunity for recovery Even accidents that cause little damage to the vehicles can offer substantial recovery. Nonetheless, insurance companies try to limit recovery on claims that involve less than $1,000.00 of damage to your car and all soft-tissue injuries (i.e. a injured neck, back, or any tissue with no broken bones). Regardless of how much damage occurred to your vehicle, if you are hurt, then you should look into filing a claim. You are entitled to recovery.
Uninsured
You may have been involved with a driver who does not have insurance or enough insurance. In cases were the at-fault driver is uninsured, you should call an attorney immediately. You are still entitled to recovery, and recovery may be possible from your policy, other policy holders in your house, or even other policy holders in the at-fault, uninsured driver’s household. Also, multiple insurance policies may be stacked until you are properly compensated for your injuries.
Motorcycle
Motor cycle accidents often end in severe injury or death. When someone is seriously injured, medical bills quickly rise to thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is the personal injury attorney’s job to both maximize the insurance claim and negotiate down your medical bills. Nowadays, states are often allowing stacking of automobile policies, which equates to more money in your pocket. However, you will need an experienced personal injury attorney to assess how much compensation you are entitled to by the insurance companies. Failure to be fully aware of the current injury laws may prove fatal to your claim. If you or someone you know has been injured in any type of automobile, truck, or motorcycle accident, please call us now for free, informative consultation.
Big Truck
Accidents that involve big trucks or commercial vehicles can often produce large recovery if the injuries are severe. This is because state and federal law requires higher liability coverage than for non-commercial vehicles. However, a qualified attorney is needed to properly assess these type cases. Many legal issues arise with commercial vehicle policies. Therefore, qualified counsel is a must.
At Work
If you were injured while driving a company vehicle, you may have two forms of recovery. First, you may have a worker’s compensation claim. Second, you may have a claim against the at-fault driver.
Passenger Claims
If you were a passenger in an automobile accident, you are entitled to recovery. If the other vehicle was at fault, then the other at-fault driver is responsible for compensating you for your injuries. If the driver of the vehicle, which you were a passenger is at fault, than his or her insurance policy should cover your injuries. Nonetheless, significant legal issues arise when the driver of the other vehicle was at-fault but is either under-insured or uninsured. Bottom-line, passengers often have to deal with additional legal issues than do drivers. For more information on this issue click on the under-insured or uninsured motorist links.
Claim Killers
The following is a list of factors which may not kill but can seriously impede the amount of recovery for an auto accident claim:
- 1) Gaps in medical treatment
- 2) Talking too much with the insurance adjuster (YOUR ARE MOST LIKELY BEING RECORDED)
- 3) Employing the wrong legal counsel who does not know insurance law.
- 4) Settling too quickly. Often high volume firms are settling machines.
- 5) Not following the doctor’s orders.
- 6) Jumping from multiple attorneys. Note, if you are unhappy with your current counsel, then do seek other advice from at least two or three other AUTO ACCIDENT LAWYERS. Then gather the information, and make a decision.
DEADLINE!!!
Your auto accident has a deadline for recovery. Auto accident claims against non-governmental insurance providers are limited to two years. If you were involved in an automobile accident with a military or other government vehicle, the statute of limitations for these claims are normally one year.
