If someone else’s negligence leaves you injured, the physical, financial, and emotional consequences can be overwhelming, which can make your recovery all the more challenging. If this is the difficult situation you find yourself in, it’s important to recognize you have legal rights that are well worth protecting. 

Obtaining the compensation to which you’re entitled can play a critical role in your recovery, which makes reaching out for the skilled legal guidance of an experienced Lake Tapps personal injury attorney an important first step. Speak with Anderson Law | Injury Attorneys today.

Don’t Settle Until You’re Sure

The fact is that you can face significant losses in the wake of a personal injury, and it can take a considerable amount of time to recognize the full extent of these damages. The insurance company handling your claim knows all too well that you’re in a vulnerable position, and because they’re motivated by profits, they will take whatever steps they need to in order to keep your settlement as low as possible. 

Often this means making a lowball settlement offer early in the process – knowing that you may be desperate enough to accept just about any amount. This is why consulting with a trusted personal injury attorney prior to accepting any offer the insurance company makes is always in your best interest.

Recognize Your Losses

The losses you experience as a result of being injured by the negligence of another can be so significant that they’re difficult to assess accurately. These losses – or legal damages – are generally classified into several basic categories.

Medical Expenses

You not only face the immediate medical expenses associated with the accident in question but must also address any ongoing healthcare needs. Serious injuries can lead to secondary health concerns as well as complications, and some require ongoing care – the scope of which can be difficult to predict. Accepting a settlement before you’re fully aware of the associated costs can leave you without the resources you need to reach your most complete recovery.

Lost Income

Your injuries can also leave you off the job, which can lead to a decrease in earnings. This is difficult enough in the face of your mounting medical expenses, but if your ability to earn is affected, it can prove financially devastating. Because our jobs are so intertwined with our concept of self, there can also be emotional losses involved. 

Physical and Emotional Pain and Suffering

The physical and emotional pain you suffer as a result of someone else’s negligence can be daunting and can make your overall recovery that much more difficult to achieve.  

Proving the Other Party’s Responsibility

Sometimes, proving who is at fault in a personal injury claim is fairly straightforward – such as when a drunk driver causes an accident that injures someone who was obeying all the rules of the road. In traffic accidents, driver negligence, such as impairment or excess speed, is often at the root of liability, but third parties, such as a parts manufacturer or the municipality responsible for road maintenance, can also bear or share responsibility. 

Every personal injury claim is unique to the circumstances involved, and pinpointing the liable party is best left to the accomplished personal injury attorney representing you.

Protecting Your Personal Injury Claim

As mentioned, insurance companies that handle personal injury claims are interested in making money, and as a result, it’s necessary to proceed with caution, which includes all the following:

  • Be seen by a doctor as soon after the accident as possible. Serious injuries aren’t always accompanied by immediate symptoms, and early diagnosis is too closely associated with favorable outcomes to put off seeking medical care. 
  • Reach out to a practiced personal injury attorney as soon as you’re able to do so. 
  • Follow the medical instructions you receive carefully.
  • Follow your attorney’s lead, which typically means declining to make a statement to the insurance rep, halting your social media activity, and focusing on your recovery.

The insurance company is looking for cracks in your case, and this often means dissecting claimants’ statements and social media posts and crafting new meanings that go on to harm their claims.  

How Your Personal Injury Attorney Can Help

Your formidable personal injury attorney will ably address all the following tasks in their focused efforts to strengthen your claim and obtain fair compensation:

  • Gathering all the available evidence, including eyewitness testimony, security camera footage, and beyond
  • Helping you better understand your claim and make the right decisions for you throughout the process
  • Helping you avoid common errors that can damage your claim
  • Skillfully negotiating a settlement that fairly addresses your full range of losses
  • Being prepared to take the matter to court if the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly
