Secrets of a Personal Injury claim

You have been the victim of a car accident.  Do you know the process and the secrets of successfully winning your claim?

Understanding your rights as a victim is critical to your emotional, psychological, physical and financial well-being.

Choosing the Attorney to represent you is important.  If you missed that blog you can read it HERE.



Here are some secrets if your Personal Injury case you need to know:

1. Time is of the essence:  Because of Statute of Limitation you only have a certain amount of time to bring a lawsuit.  Please check you State's Statute of Limitations HERE.  Because of these statutes of limitations it is critical to speak with an Attorney as quickly as possible.   
2. Who do you sue?  Depending on the circumstances and the laws in your State will determine who will be sued.  Again, speaking with an Attorney about this as quickly as possible is essential.  
3. What will it cost me?  Most Personal Injury Attorney's offer a free consultation and if they take your case most will work on a contingency basis which means you will pay for nothing until they win your case.  Each Lawyer and Firm are different so make sure you know how their fees are collected during the consultation.  Remember to make that consultation work for you.  Please read HERE on how to make the most of this appointment.
4. How much will I get?  State laws will determine this so there is no real clear-cut answer to this question.  An Attorney can give you a clearer idea of what your injury is worth.  If you missed the blog on what your injury is worth you can read it HERE.
5. How long will it take?:  This is going to depend on so many different circumstances that there is no definite answer.  Remember you are going to be dealing with Insurance Companies that have Attorneys fighting NOT to pay you anything.  Finding the right Attorney to fight FOR YOU is essential.

Insurance Companies may offer you a quick settlement.  DO NOT accept it without talking to an Attorney about your rights!  

Going through a personal injury case is difficult for you both emotionally and financially.  Find an Attorney who will take that burden off of you so you can focus on getting better.  A Personal Injury lawsuit can take years so patience is important and remember it is not your Attorney who is keeping it from settling or going to court quickly.  Your Attorney wants what's best for YOU.  Your insurance company wants what's best for them.  Please read HERE for the secrets of car insurance.
