Steps to Maximize Your Recovery

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear”]

1Call An Attorney After Your Accident. Only an attorney can evaluate your case and determine the maximum value of your personal injury case. An attorney has experience locating insurance that will pay for your injuries, including medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering and future medical bills. Additionally, an attorney will negotiate your medical bills to ease your burden after an accident.

2

Do Not Give Any Statements to Insurance Companies OR Strangers. After an accident, you may receive phone calls from an insurance adjuster looking to take incriminating statements or strangers looking to pray upon your insurance benefits. Insurance Companies and strangers are not your friends. They don’t get rich paying out injury claims. Instead, insurance companies are comprised of adjusters and lawyers who pay only when they have to. You need a lawyer that isn’t afraid to lock horns with their lawyers.

3

Seek Out Witnesses And Write Down Their Name, Phone Number, And Address. In some cases, witnesses are key to maximizing your recovery. Your attorney may be able to significantly increase your recovery if a credible witness is available to testify on your behalf.

4Do Not Admit Liability Or Fault To Anyone, Including The Police. If you speak with the police, only describe enough details to allow the officer to write the report and issue a citation. Do not admit fault or liability. Leave that for your attorney to determine.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear”]

5Treat Your Injuries. Immediately after an accident, do not be afraid to take an ambulance to the hospital. Additionally, make sure you seek medical treatment for all of your injuries. Have the medical staff take pictures of your bumps and bruises as they will dissipate. As important, tell your doctor about every injury, including sharp or dull back, head, neck, wrist, and knee injuries.
