Auto Accident Settlements

Auto Accident Law Suit – Should You Fight For Your Auto Accident Case?

Are you thinking about filing an auto accident law suit? Maybe you are questioning if your auto accident case is worth fighting for.  We are going to chat about why your case is worth the fight in this article.

If you are thinking about filing an auto accident law suit I am certain that the insurance company that is going to have to pay is attempting to tell you that they will give you a reasonable settlement. The insurance companies have professionals that are on their side, these people are looking at each detail of the accident. They are looking for every potential means to make your car wreck settlement less and less.

Temporarily Hurt Or Properties Lost Or Damaged

When it comes down to getting a fair settlement after you have been hurt you should never trust the insurance company. Just because the insurance company offers you a settlement that looks pretty good does not mean that they are giving you the most you can get. They will not only try to give you less when it comes down to your personal injuries but the insurance company will also attempt to give you less money for your damaged properties. Make sure you show any photos that you have of your car before the accident as well as your car after the accident so they can see the differentiation of before and after.

Deformations Or Permanent Injuries

You certainly have a entitlement to file an auto accident law suit if you have been left deformed by an auto accident. This is something that will change your life and you should not let things this big go by without a fight. Sometimes people do not worry about an unnoticed injury such as a back injury but these can be very painful and you should be compensated for this pain as well.

Know More about Alaska Auto Accident Lawyers

Alaska auto accidents occur with alarming frequency, and when someone is injured because of the negligence of another driver, that person has legal rights and options that arise.  However, these legal rights and options are not obvious to those who do not possess a legal background, which is one of the many reasons that anyone who has been harmed by someone else in an accident should seek the help of experienced Alaska auto accident lawyers as soon as possible. 

Below are just a few examples of how Alaska accident lawyers can help those who have been harmed and who need legal help so that they can concentrate on their recovery and not have to concern themselves with the stress that comes with fighting for their legal rights.

Communication

When someone is injured in an Alaska auto accident, it often prompts representatives from the other side to contact the injured person.  These representatives can include those who work for the other party’s insurance company or even a defense attorney.  Most people understand that speaking to those who work for interests other than their own can ultimately be harmful to their position.  If that injured person obtains the help of Alaska accident lawyers, he or she will be able to simply refer those representatives to the attorney and not worry about what is said or is not said.

Settlement Exploration

If the injured person decides to file an Alaska personal injury lawsuit, one of the first steps that’s commonly taken is to explore the possibility of obtaining a fair and equitable settlement.  However, these settlement negotiations can require a high degree of legal knowledge and strategic skill, and understanding when a settlement is possible and when it is not is critical to the ultimate result of the case. 

Preparing for Trial

If a fair settlement is unlikely, Alaska auto accident lawyers will already be ahead of the game by having continued their preparation of the case as if it was going to proceed to trial from the beginning.  Those attorneys who have the skill and experience necessary will be able to multitask in this regard, and no steps will be missed as the attorneys fight relentlessly for the rights of their injured clients.  Preparing for an Alaska personal injury trial can require hundreds if not thousands of man hours to be properly ready for the plaintiff’s day in court, and this is not an undertaking that should be handled by someone who has not done it before.

As can be seen, there are several reasons why seeking the help of Alaska auto accident lawyers is a wise step to take.  Not only will your attorney be able to help you advance your case, but lifting all of these necessary steps from your daily life will allow you to concentrate on your recovery.  If you or someone you love has been harmed in a collision, contact the Alaska auto accident lawyers at Barber & Sims immediately to schedule a free initial consultation.

Steps To Take Following An Auto Accident

An auto accident can have catastrophic consequences on an individuals livelihood if they are seriously injured. To begin, auto accident victims who are injured often suffer financially because they are unable to work and/or have amassed medical bills which they cannot afford to pay. Secondly, auto accident victims tend to find that their familial relationships have been injured. For example, due to injury, spouses are often physically unable to be intimate. Further, as a result of injuries sustained in an auto accident, parents are often unable to physically interact with their children on a day to day basis. Additionally, auto accident victims who have suffered serious injuries tend to be unable to sleep, struggle to take care of themselves, discover that they are physically unable to sit or stand for prolonged periods of time, can become very reliant on pain medication and simply cannot regain the health and mobility that they had prior to their auto accident.

It is for the above reasons that all auto accident victims, regardless of whether a victim believes that they are injured at the time of the accident, should take the following steps to protect themselves. Further, adhering to the following steps after an auto accident will most likely increase the value of any settlement an auto accident victim receives from an insurance company.

Obtain the Names and Contact Information of All Witnesses. Immediately following any auto accident it is of the utmost importance to obtain the name, phone number, address and even e-mail of any individuals that saw the accident. These individuals will be able to serve as neutral witnesses that have nothing to gain or lose at any trial. Thus, these witnesses have no bias and are often very convincing to judges and juries.

Take Pictures of The Accident Scene. A picture is worth a thousand words. Your case will be far more compelling and you will fare better in negotiations and during any trial if you have pictures of the accident scene. This means take pictures of: 1) the damage to all cars that were involved in the auto accident; 2) all street signs, street lights, and street divider lines in the vicinity of the auto accident; 3) any and all physical injuries that you may have; 4) any damage to the interior of the vehicles involved in the auto accident; 5) any debris on the street or sidewalk from the auto accident; and 6) all other things which you think may be relevant to the cause of the auto accident.

Simply put, showing a picture of a mangled vehicle to a judge or jury is far more effective then attempting to describe the damage to a vehicle verbally. Furthermore, having pictures of where cars were positioned immediately after an accident may prove who and/or what caused an accident to occur. Additionally, if your vehicle is mangled or has a great amount of damage, the picture will often help a judge or jury determine or understand the force of the accident.

Go to the Doctor. Again, Go to the Doctor. Often, individuals involved in an auto accident shrug off going to the emergency room immediately after an accident and/or fail to regularly attend physical therapy because they believe the discomfort or pain they feel will go away on its own. This can be erroneous because pain arising from a serious auto accident can worsen in the weeks and months following an accident rather than get better.

If you fail to go to the doctor shortly after an auto accident the likelihood of obtaining a favorable settlement can be greatly diminished. An insurance company will simply argue that you obviously were not injured because you did not seek medical attention and/or missed numerous doctor appointments. In other words, if you are pursuing a claim for a personal injury but have little or no medical evidence establishing that you were injured then the likelihood of success as to obtaining a settlement or jury verdict is greatly reduced.

Do Not Minimize Your Injuries. When you go to the doctor be sure to tell him or her about any pain, bruising, swelling or discomfort that you have no matter how minor. Also, tell the doctor if any part of your body struck any object within the car (ie. head striking steering wheel, window, dashboard, etc.). In short, do not minimize your injuries under any circumstance. If you fail to tell a doctor about an injury then the doctor will not note it in his or her report. Thereafter, if you seek to assert that a previously unreported injury was caused by your auto accident the insurance company will dispute it based on the fact that the injury was not reported to your doctor immediately after the accident.

Do Not Give a Recorded Statement to an Insurance Company. The sole purpose of a recorded statement is for an insurance company to obtain evidence from you that it may be able to use against you in the future. Insurance companies train their adjusters to ask any and all questions which may tend to show or prove that the victim was the cause of an auto accident. This is important because auto accident victims who are found to be negligent, no matter how minor, in Maryland and the District of Columbia are barred from being compensated in most circumstances. Further, many accident victims have little or no training regarding the handling of an accident claim. Therefore, at the outset, the victim is usually at a disadvantage and is unprepared to give a recorded statement. I strongly suggest retaining an attorney prior to giving a statement to any insurance company.

Exchange Information. After the accident it is highly important for you to exchange the following information with the other driver: 1) name; 2) address; 3) phone number(s); 4) insurance company and policy number; 5) drivers license number; 6) make and model of vehicle; 7) vehicle registration and 8 ) license plate number. Further, if the drivers name differs from the individual who is named on the insurance card and/or car registration then inquire as to the drivers relationship with the insured and/or car owner.

The above information is highly necessary if you wish to proceed with a claim in an effective, and time efficient manner. In the event that you do not obtain this information you and/or your attorney will have to expend time, money and resources attempting to locate it. In the event that you are unable to locate this information then you may be unable to obtain compensation for your injuries.

File an Accident Report. The filing of an accident report helps to establish the fact that at an auto accident actually occurred. Further, police officers will often provide key information in their reports, including but not limited to, witnesses, diagrams, insurance information, whether anyone was taken to the hospital from the scene of an accident and the identities and contact information of all the drivers and their passengers. Further, the police officer can thereafter serve as a witness on your behalf should there be a trial. Its my practice to attach favorable accident reports to legal filings, such as Complaints, which I submit to courts. This allows a judge to see a police report which they ordinarily would be barred from reviewing due to the hearsay rule.

Keep all Receipts. The law provides that the victim of an auto accident shall be compensated for any and all expenses incurred by the victim due to the accident. Thus, an accident victim can receive compensation for lodging, medicine purchases, gas mileage, medical equipment purchased and a variety of other accident related expenses. However, you will only be compensated for those expenses that you can prove. Thus, it is important for you to hold onto your receipts and forward them to your attorney.

Do Not accept a check which is labeled final payment without first consulting an attorney. The acceptance of such a check, prior to discovering the full extent of your losses and being advised of your legal rights, can result in an auto accident victim receiving substantially less compensation than he or she is entitled to.

Do Not automatically agree to a vehicle damage appraisal conducted by the insurance company. Insurance companies may purposefully undervalue your repair estimate or base the repair estimate on the use of replacement, refurbished and/or used auto parts.

Do Not sign a release or waiver without first consulting an attorney. The signing of a release and/or waiver, prior to discovering the full extent of your losses and being advised of your legal rights, can result in an auto accident victim receiving substantially less compensation than he or she is entitled to.

I encourage all accident victims to retain an experienced, professional and aggressive personal injury attorney. Insurance companies have their attorneys and trained staff working for them. Therefore, in order to be fully knowledgeable regarding your rights and greatly increase your chances of receiving full compensation, I strongly urge you to contact The Whiteru Firm, PLLC at 202 558 6196 or info@whiteru-law.com.

Expert Advice About Hiring Florida Auto Accidents Lawyers

The following is an expert answer given by Florida Premises Liability Lawyer, Joseph M. Maus, and taken from AllExperts.com, a free Q & A service on the internet:

Question:
This is going to sound awful! I was rear ended in May of this year. When it gets down to settling, how does one determine that a lawyer has “actually” gotten what the case is worth?

By this I mean I kind of feel like it would just be easier for contingent lawyers to just take the first offer and move on – so how does a client determine if they should reject the settlement and have a lawyer go back and fight for more or if it is really a fair settlement? For a lay person it’s very hard to determine the amount of battle done by an attorney before accepting an offer.

Let’s pretend you are my attorney. You tell me the settlement offer and I refuse it. Can you then dismiss me as a client? Is there a way to determine, in Florida, what is “fair”? I hope this is not offensive but is there a site where you can plug in an impairment rating and see averages for Florida auto accidents lawyers or something like that?!

Answer:
This is a great question.  It is very difficult for me to know exactly what is going through the client’s mind when, as their Florida accident lawyer, I tell a client about a settlement offer on their accident
claim.  Sometimes, the client will tip you off that the offer “sounds great”, or sometimes when the offer is low, you’ll hear the client’s disappointment.  But, your question raises issues that really need to be considered in communicating settlement offers to clients, and are probably taken for granted by the attorney many times.

The short answer to your question is – there is no uniform amount of money that will be paid to a person in a Florida injury or accident claim simply based upon an impairment rating, or even based upon a particular type of injury, i.e. torn ligament in knee requiring surgery; unoperated herniated disc in the neck or back.  The reason is that every case, every client, and the adjusters and insurance companies handling the claims are different. Even the county your claim is being made in, and the time of year you try settling your claim factor into the settlement value on any particular injury case. The primary factors in establishing a value for a Florida accident injury settlement are the nature and extent of any injury(s), the amount of medical bills (past and future), the amount of lost wages or loss of earning capacity (past and future), and the amount of pain and suffering related to the injury (past and future).

Your email asks how you can be certain that the accident lawyer has fought for you to obtain the maximum recovery, instead of just accepting the first offer that is made.  I can only speak from my experience – if I don’t maximize the recovery for each client, and make sure the client is satisfied with the work done on their file, I will never see the client again, nor have them refer another client to my office.  The vast majority of Florida injury accident cases that I work on are referred by former clients, or by attorneys that don’t specialize in accident injury cases.  If the client or referral source is not comfortable with what has been done on the file, and comfortable with the amount of money they receive from their case, my referral well dries up, and I go out of business.  Self preservation is strong motivation to do the best job you can!

Keep in mind that Florida auto accidents lawyers are paid on a contingent basis.  Their attorney fee is a percentage of what they recover for you. Putting aside an attorney’s ethical responsibility of representing the client to the best of their abilities, there is strong incentive to maximize any settlement offer to their client – the more they obtain for the client, the more they make for themselves as attorney’s fees.

One of the things you can do to become more comfortable with the amount of “battle” that has been done on your accident claim, is to ask the accident lawyer to show you the file, and any correspondence that has been sent to or received from the insurance company.  Most offers to settle a Florida injury claim by insurance companies are put in writing and sent to the Florida auto accident lawyers who are handling the case. You’ll see where your lawyer started, what the basis for the demand was, the strengths and weaknesses that have been discussed, and whether the offer you are being asked to consider is the first offer, or maybe the fifth (and last).

As for discharging your attorney, you can do that, and choose to go it alone, or transfer the file to another attorney.  But, the discharged attorney will usually be entitled to a lien against your settlement proceeds for work that has been done on your file.

You also asked about a website to punch in an impairment rating to find out a case value.  I do not know of a website like that.  The closest thing to that is the Florida Jury Verdict Reporter which documents trial verdicts throughout the State.  It details the county a case was tried in, the attorneys and doctors involved in the case, the nature and extent of any injuries, liability issues, the amount of the verdict, and additional details about the case.  I don’t know if the public has access to this Reporter, but most Florida auto accidents lawyers do.

Good luck with your claim.

After Having an Auto Accident Understanding the Claim Process

After having an auto accident understanding the claim process is important as delay in claiming can lead to unnecessary hassles. After an auto accident has occurred, it can be a difficult time for those involved. By proper understanding of the claim process, problems associated with the claim and compensation procedure can be alleviated to a certain extent. There are many areas in which a person should familiarize oneself with.

Primarily, it is essential to be familiar with the auto policy availed by you. An auto policy is a contract between two parties. They are the purchaser of that policy and the insurance company providing coverage. When a policy is purchased, the purchaser would receive a written document describing the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy. Such a document is also known as the insuring agreement. An important part of the policy is the Declarations page. This page describes what vehicles are covered, which drivers are covered, the limit of the policy, and the responsibility of the insured person. Understanding the insurance agreement will help the insured person to be aware of what is covered by the policy and what is not.

After having an auto accident understanding the claims process also involves becoming familiar with important definitions of the auto policy. The adjuster will be referring to these terms during the claim process. Therefore understanding the terms would be vital to make the claim process smoother. Some important terms are:

Insured: The first party or direct customer of the contract, usually the policyholder;

Damages: What will be specifically paid out if a loss occurs?

Claimant: The third party to any claim against an insured. They do not have a direct contact wit the insurance company but they have implied coverage when the insured is deemed responsible for the loss;

Claim: Declaration of damages incurred for a loss by either the insured or claimant.

After an auto accident, once an insurance company is notified, it will assign a representative to investigate the claims. The representative would determine if the policy is valid and is relevant for the type of accident that has occurred. The next step would be to determine the liability. After interviewing all parties involved, get accident reports and witness statements, in order to determine who is responsible fro the losses incurred. The insurer would then review the damages claimed and only damages covered by the policy are considered. Immediate expenses like medical bills, lost salary and expected future expenses, if required, are gathered during this time. This part of the process allows the insurance company to decide the amounts that should be paid out before claims are settled.

The crucial step in the process is the actual payment of damages to the insured and/or claimant party. Proper understanding of the claim and good handling of claims would result in a better compensation for the loss.

After having an auto accident understanding the claim process enables oneself to be confident about the outcome. By being aware of the damages that are covered by the insurance policy, and being realistic of the damages that have occurred, it is possible to have an accurate expectation of the settlement thus making the claims process quicker and smoother.
