Every driver should be aware of what to do in the event of an accident. If you are involved in an accident that is not your fault, you need to obtain the other driver’s insurance information. Then you can file a personal injury claim against their insurance company. Here are a few tips for a successful car accident claim.
Should I Accept the First Settlement Offer?
After an accident, you will most likely receive a call from the insurer offering a settlement amount. More often than not, this offer will be far lower than what your claim is worth. But how are you to know that? That’s why you should first consult with a personal injury attorney before speaking with an insurance adjuster.
Tips for a Successful Car Accident Claim
To have a successful case, the first thing that you want to do after you have been involved in an accident like this is get yourself in front of a medical professional as soon as possible. You need to be able to tell a doctor about every pain that you are feeling, no matter how small, so that they can take extensive notes on your injuries. The insurance company will be shown these notes; to maximize your compensation, it is important that they are aware of every injury you sustain in the car accident.
Your recovery is very important to us. We want to see you get better and back to as close to normal as you can be. There are many options when it comes to seeking medical attention. You can see your primary doctor, you can go to an urgent care facility, or you can go to the emergency room. Every doctor visit and treatment that you require is one step closer to getting better. It is also one more piece of evidence that we have against the liable party.
How an Attorney Can Help You Fight for Compensation
Half the battle of building a successful case is gathering all the necessary evidence. The rest comes down to fortitude. Having an experienced trial attorney is extremely important if you want to receive maximum compensation. Many Georgia personal injury lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t owe anything unless we win your case.
