Ethical, Professional, Caring

Josh contacted me periodically to see how I was doing, which I appreciated. I also received many emails from the paralegal and legal assistant from the other attorney’s office, so I knew they were taking care of things. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. He was ethical, professional, and caring.

Your Legal Damages

Your legal damages translate to the losses addressed by the law that you experience as a result of the other party’s negligence. 

Your Medical Bills

Even a relatively minor accident can lead to immense medical bills that show no sign of stopping anytime soon. If your injuries require ongoing care or lead to complications, the matter is that much more serious. Accepting a settlement before you have a handle on your prognosis is ill-advised. 

Your Lost Wages

If you have suffered a serious injury, you may be off the job for a considerable amount of time, which can lead to lost income. If your ability to do your job, continue advancing your career, or cultivate your earning potential is affected, your losses will be even more considerable. It is also worth noting that there can be an emotional component to job setbacks.

Pain and Suffering

If you have been injured by someone else’s carelessness, the pain and suffering you experience can be exacerbated by the lack of concern exhibited by their actions. While it is more difficult to attach a dollar amount to this emotional element of your damages, it is, nonetheless, a very real loss that should not be overlooked or underestimated.

 

You Can Affect the Outcome of Your Claim

While you’ll look to your personal injury attorney to guide your claim toward a favorable outcome, there are also important steps you can take, including:

  • Do not wait to seek the medical attention you need. Your health could depend upon it. 
  • Reach out for professional legal guidance early in the process.
  • Adhere to your doctor’s instructions and advice. 
  • Refer the insurance rep to your attorney for a statement. 
  • Hold off from posting on social media until your claim has been settled or received a court award.

You can count on the insurance company being skilled at taking claimant comments and spinning them into claim-damaging statements, which is why deferring to your attorney is always well advised. 

Before You Accept a Settlement

The insurance company handling your claim understands that you are facing soaring medical bills as well as decreased earnings, and this aligns nicely with their desire to settle your claim for as little as possible. In other words, the insurance company is hoping to leverage your desperation into a low settlement. Before signing off on a settlement offer, it is important to recognize the strength of your claim and the extent of your legal damages, which involves having a practiced personal injury attorney on your side. 

The insurance company’s antics may not end with an early settlement offer. Common techniques for keeping payouts low include:

  • Denying claims without consideration
  • Dragging out the claims process in an effort to exhaust claimants
  • Complicating the claims process to the point that claimants simply give up
  • Calling the extent of claimants’ damages into doubt
  • Denying that their policyholders bear responsibility

The most important point to make here is that the law – not the insurance company – ultimately has the authority to determine the outcome of your case.

Look to Your Personal Injury Attorney to Build Your Strongest Claim

The insurance company is seriously invested in minimizing your claim’s value, which makes bringing your strongest claim paramount. You should turn to your seasoned personal injury attorney to ably handle all the following related tasks:

  • Compiling the evidence necessary to flesh out your claim, including eyewitness testimony, photos and videos taken at the scene, security camera and dashcam footage, and physical evidence gathered at the scene
  • Securing the testimony of professionals with relevant expertise
  • Having an accident recreation model built to support of your accident description
  • Gathering your related medical records and relevant reports from your medical team 
  • Obtaining the police or accident report generated by the accident that caused you to be injured 

This evidence will play a critical role in proving the other party’s liability in relation to your damages.
