See part one of this blog here. The following are typically the stages that occur after a victim is involved in an accident and suffers some loss:
At this time a victim may await an insurance company’s settlement offer or be proactive and immediately consult with a personal injury attorney. Attorneys may typically help an accident victim obtain a settlement that is more than what an insurance company considers fair compensation. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations to their clients. Consulting with an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury attorney can substantially help a personal injury victim.
Most personal injury attorneys work for fees that are contingent on success. This means that a client is only responsible for paying the costs of a case if unsuccessful. An experienced personal injury attorney can outline a case’s time frame and explain the length of time it will take to build a case before making a demand to the insurance company.
A P.I. attorney will gather all of the medical records and bills that are related to the injuries, including the information about treating physicians, any associated medical documentation, and the recommended course of treatment.
