Vehicle collisions kill or seriously injure millions of Americans every year. These crashes usually cause serious injuries, such as head injuries, that are permanent in many cases. Here’s another interesting statistic. Insurance companies earn over $1 trillion per year. But despite all that money coming in, they deny claims whenever possible, especially from non-policyholders.
A car accident lawyer in Los Angeles forces stingy insurance companies to do the right thing and compensate crash victims for their economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. Obtaining this compensation is easier, and faster, if crash victims follow three simple rules in the wake of a car accident.
First and foremost, don’t apologize to the other driver. Many victims say “I’m sorry” to express sympathy. But in court, an insurance company lawyer can twist an apology into a liability admission.
Also remain as quiet as possible when interacting with emergency responders, and especially with insurance company representatives. We mentioned head injuries above. Because of these injuries, many victims aren’t thinking clearly in the wake of an accident. So, they could say things that hurt their claims later.
Answer direct questions from emergency responders and police investigators. Think before you speak and don’t volunteer any information.
Avoid speaking with insurance company representatives if at all possible. Some policies require individuals to immediately report accidents. If your policy has such a requirement, don’t offer any details about the crash. Let your personal injury lawyer fill in the blanks later.
Head injuries are concealed injuries. Many people “feel fine” even though they have head injuries. The brain conceals its own injuries.
So, even if you “feel fine,” always see a doctor. But not just any doctor will do. The physician should focus on injury-related conditions. As treatment progresses, follow all the doctor’s instructions.
Victims should never refuse medical treatment at the scene. You don’t know how badly you’re hurt until a doctor examines you. If no EMS arrives, always see a doctor within twenty-four hours. Many injuries, like head injuries, are degenerative. Plus, if victims don’t immediately see doctors, insurance company lawyers may later argue that the victim’s injuries weren’t too severe.
A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can connect victims with top-notch doctors who, in most cases, charge nothing upfront for their professional services. But medical help is just the beginning.
Experienced lawyers quickly gather evidence that supports your claims and refutes possible insurance company defenses, such as comparative fault. This process includes obtaining evidence, like a vehicle’s Event Data Recorder, that isn’t generally available to the public.
Later, attorneys give victims solid legal advice during settlement negotiations. Most personal injury claims settle out of court. However, only a lawyer knows the difference between a favorable settlement and an unfavorable one.
