Before You File a Claim\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Following any accident, your health and well-being must take precedence. Prioritize receiving a thorough medical evaluation of your injuries before pursuing legal action. Whether you feel immediate pain or not, personal injuries can take mental and physical tolls that manifest long after their inciting incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forgoing medical treatment can also put you at a disadvantage in legal proceedings. Without proof of treatment, the responsible party will call the severity of your injuries into question, undermining your compensation claim. To strengthen your case and ensure your well-being, follow your doctor\u2019s recommended treatment plan and document the associated paperwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal Injury Claim Steps<\/span><\/h2>\n

1.) Contact an Attorney\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

An <\/span>experienced personal injury lawyer can help you calculate and recover<\/span><\/a> the full scope of your damages. Moreover, their experience enables them to advise you on the case\u2019s merits, legal options, and negotiation strategies. Understanding the legal intricacies of personal injury claims without legal counsel presents an intimidating challenge, particularly while you recover.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) Set Up a Claim\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

If a third party\u2019s negligence caused your incident, you and your attorney will contact the individual and their insurance company to file a claim. There are often <\/span>deadlines associated with official claim documents<\/span><\/a>, so having an attorney to complete paperwork while you recover is crucial to case success. During this phase of the claim timeline, continue to collect evidence of your <\/span>medical treatments, lost wages, and more<\/span><\/a> to prepare for future negotiations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3.) Negotiate a Settlement\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, using evidence they\u2019ve collected, your personal injury lawyer will demand <\/span>compensation from the responsible party<\/span><\/a>. Doing so may require \u201cback and forth,\u201d in which the responsible party\u2019s insurance may not offer an agreeable amount. Consult your attorney before accepting compensation to ensure it covers the full extent of your incurred damages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
