10.30.2018 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

When it comes to personal injury, it is important to understand the details of the case in order to determine whether or not you are being adequately compensated. Here are a few questions with answers to give you an idea of what personal injury entails.

  1.   What Step Should One Take After an Injury?

Quite simply, the most crucial step to take after an injury is ensuring you can recover from the injury. According to the law, people who are injured are required to mitigate their damages. That is to mean that you have to do everything necessary to ensure your physical conditions improves once an injury has occurred.

  1.   How Much Should the Attorney Be Paid?

In almost all cases pertaining to personal injury, your lawyer will be paid by taking a fraction of your final award or settlement resulting from the injury you have sustained. This percentage should be an agreement between you and your attorney. This amount paid as a proportion of the final settlement is referred to as contingency fee. The law requires that a written contract be signed by both parties, which stipulates the fee the attorney will charge to avoid any misunderstanding about the cost of your case.

  1.   Is it Necessary to See a Doctor Even When the Injuries are not severe?

More often than not, victims of accidents do not realize how serious their injuries are until some hours or days after the accident has occurred. That is why it is essential to seek medical attention immediately, to determine how serious the injuries could be and to reinforce your personal injury case.  If you wait for a long time before seeking medical attention, then the insurance company will not compensate you adequately.

  1.   How do you get a Replacement Car after the Auto Accident?

The insurance company should be more than willing to cover the cost of a rental car until the settlement of your property claim has been ascertained. Make sure you find out for how long you will be using the rental car so you don’t incur the overtime costs accidentally. In most cases, you will have the vehicle for a few days after settlement so you can get enough time to purchase a replacement car.

  1.   How do you convince The Insurance Company that You Have a Valid Claim?

Recovering as quickly as possible from the injuries incurred is an excellent step to ensuring your claim is valid. Insurers tend to believe people who take the initiative to recover from their injuries. Additionally, insurance personnel believes people who are able to document their injuries through the use of credible medical reports, medical bills, and accurate information regarding lost wages.

  1.   Once an Agreement has been Reached, How Long Does it Take to Get the Money?

Once an agreement is reached between the insurers and you through your attorney, it can take anywhere between two and six weeks for the settlement process to end. There could be exceptions to this range, but it takes an average of one month to sign all documents and receive the check.

Conclusion

The above are the six important questions regarding personal injury cases. You can also visit Sibley Dolman to learn more about personal injury and representation.
