Making a Personal Injury Claim For Compensation

The laws surrounding personal injury can complicate the claims process. While personal injury lawyers have extensive experience filing and negotiating personal injury settlements, the average person may never be able to successfully acquire compensation on his or her own.

The first step in making a personal injury claim is to hire a personal injury attorney to handle your case. Doing so saves you a lot of stress and money — and increases your likelihood of receiving compensation for your injuries. You should retain the services of a law firm such as ours to handle your case early on in the process.

Selecting an attorney

When selecting an injury lawyer, you should find out if he or she exclusively handles personal injury claims. Our firm focuses its practice on personal injury claims to better provide injured victims with the representation they deserve.

You should also choose an injury law firm that provides references from satisfied clients. While attorney-client privilege prevents attorneys from sharing any such information, many clients of ours waive this right in order to share their stories.

After retaining the services of a qualified injury law firm, you must collect evidence and details about the incident. The more information you provide, the stronger your claim will be.

A wide variety of information and paperwork can be beneficial to your personal injury claim, such as:

Communications with insurance companies

Hospital reports

Important dates

Medical bills

Police reports

Proof of insurance coverage

Witness statements or contact information

Providing this material allows our experienced professionals to evaluate your personal injury claim. Damages such as pain and suffering may be harder to prove, and any supporting documents you have from doctors or physical therapists will go a long way.

Key concerns after a personal injury

A serious injury may leave you with numerous questions, including how you will pay for medical treatment, how you’ll support your loved ones if you can no longer work and how long it will take to receive the compensation you need. A knowledgeable attorney will help you pinpoint the exact cause of your personal injury, determine the current and future costs of your medical care and estimate your potential loss of income.

The following are some of the most common types of injuries individuals suffer, often spurring the need to seek monetary damages:

Broken bones

Burns

Chronic pain

Illnesses due to toxic exposure

Medical and surgical injuries

Soft tissue damage

Spinal cord injuries

Head and brain injuries

As you can imagine, some of the injuries may only require a few weeks to recover from, while others could involve long-term care and rehabilitation. The severity of your injury will play a significant role in the amount of compensation you should receive. The process of determining damages is based on factors like the effect an injury has on the victim’s lifestyle, the age of the victim, the amount of ability lost and how long it will take for a full physical recovery to take place — if it’s possible at all.

Special considerations for wrongful death claims

After the death of a loved one due to the reckless actions or negligence of another person or entity, it can be frustrating to deal with insurance adjusters and attorneys. You need a wrongful death lawyer who understands your concerns and takes on your case with a high level of competence and compassion. Your lawyer’s responsibilities include negotiating with insurance companies for fair compensation to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship and emotional pain and suffering.
