Should I provide a statement to an insurance company without a lawyer’s consultation?
It is in your best interests to only provide your contact information to an insurance company until you consult with a personal injury lawyer. The more significant your injuries, the more important it becomes to seek legal counsel first, before providing any statement.
Will I have to go to trial to recover damages?
About 95 percent of personal injury cases filed will settle prior to trial.
What is considered “pain and suffering” with a personal injury case?
Pain and suffering includes harm caused by physical injury and mental anguish experienced through avoiding activities you engaged in prior to your accident and the potential of surgery.
What determines the amount I might recover?
Every personal injury case addresses three issues:
- Liability – establishing someone’s negligence
- Damages – the amount that will fairly and adequately compensate you for your injuries
- Source of collection – insurance or other assets from which monetary damages can be recovered
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
You have two years to file a lawsuit against the person or company that is responsible for your injuries.
What should I do immediately after suffering a personal injury due to possible negligence?
- Make some notes and write down everything about your accident while still fresh in your mind.
- Get the names, phone numbers and/or addresses of any witnesses to your accident.
- Take photographs of your auto, truck or motorcycle accident, if you are able. This can be extremely beneficial to your case.
- You should not make any statements to insurance companies or police before consulting with an experienced lawyer.
