If you have been injured due to the negligence of another, you may have been offered a settlement by the insurance company of the responsible party. It is important to speak with a personal injury lawyer before talking to an insurance company and especially before accepting a settlement. Your personal injury lawyer may feel that you have a strong case for a larger settlement or may recommend taking your claim to trial.
You could receive more compensation than a settlement offer by taking your lawsuit to trial although a trial could take longer and is not without risk. Speaking with an experienced personal injury or car accident lawyer is the best way to determine the strength of your personal injury claim. Here are some things that you can do to improve your personal injury case: 1) Do not say too much after an accident – It is better to not say too much at the scene of an accident until you have had time to calm down and speak with a personal injury lawyer or a car accident attorney if involved in a vehicle accident. If you say too much at the scene of an accident you could jeopardize your case. 2) Get medical attention immediately - do not put off seeing a doctor even when you feel your injuries are minor. Soft tissue injuries can worsen with time and may not be apparent at the time of the accident. Emergency room visits and doctor appointments will help to document your injury following the accident. Make sure you attend all appointments and continue recommended treatments. 3) Keep all medical bills and receipts - be sure to obtain copies of all your medical bills, hospital records and receipts for prescriptions or medical equipment. Keep all of your pay stubs and document any time missed from work due to your injury. 4) Do not speak with the insurance company of the responsible party - do not talk with the insurance company of the responsible party without the advice of your personal injury lawyer. Be aware that it is the job of the other party’s insurance adjuster to reduce or deny a settlement altogether and they will be looking for you to say something that could hurt your case. 5) Use caution when posting on social media - social media accounts can provide insurance adjusters with a wealth of information to use against you in your personal injury claim. Posting photos of doing things that contradict your injury claim can seriously damage your case.
