Personal Injury
We recognize that accidents and injuries may happen every day; however, no one ever plans to be the victim of one. Accidents can happen in many different forms: car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, construction or workplace accidents, firearm accidents, burns and explosions; the list goes on and on. If you have suffered injuries at the hands of another person or entity, then there is a chance that you may be entitled to recover monetary compensation as a result of your injuries.
Most times after an injury that was caused by someone other than you, you may be contacted by an insurance company. The insurance companies often ask you for a recorded statement in which they will most likely ask leading questions. These questions are often framed to invoke a certain response from the injured party in an attempt to limit or void the victims’ recovery. It is necessary to remember that you are not obligated to speak with any representatives from insurance companies. It is highly recommended that you consult legal counsel before providing a statement, sign documents, and/or accept any compensation from an insurance company.
In the event that you suffer an injury due to someone else’s negligence, it is always important to document your injury in an effort to establish a chain of evidence. You can do this by filling out reports with the entity or police, getting witness statements, and taking pictures of you, your injury, and the scene where the injury took place. Additionally, if you are contacted by the insurance company after your injury, it is a good idea to take down the following key information:
- Name of the insurance company;
- Name of the adjuster or representative that made the call;
- Claim number for your injury; and
- Contact information for the insurance company.
