In reality, personal injury law encompasses not only automobile accidents, but also a wide variety of areas from product and pharmaceutical related injuries to injuries suffered in the workplace. Q: If I am in an accident, what is the first thing I should do? A: If you have been in an accident and have been injured, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Also, the sooner you contact an attorney the better. There are time limits for filing claims. If you miss a filing deadline you may lose your right to fair compensation for your injuries. It is important to gather evidence and locate witnesses as soon as possible after an accident, so waiting to contact an attorney may be detrimental to your claim. Additionally, if you are contacted by an insurance adjuster regarding property damages, that adjuster may also ask you about your injuries. You should not discuss your injuries with an adjuster; insurance companies must deal with injuries and property damage as separate issues. Our personal injury information form should help you gather the information you need. Q: How do I know how much my claim is worth? A: There are many relevant factors in determining compensation for an injury claim, such as: economic loss, financial hardship, pain and suffering (both physical and mental), disfigurement, physical impairment, loss of earning potential, and loss of companionship. The amount of compensation awarded also depends upon the specific facts of each case, including the nature and extent of your injuries, the duration of your medical treatment, and the effect of your injuries on your quality of life, to name a few. |
