If you were recently involved in a car accident, a slip and fall injury, a dog bite incident, brain injury or other trauma we can help you. We understand that dealing with insurance companies can be a pain. Remember the insurance companies are not on your side. Do not let them pressure you into saying anything which may hurt your claim, or to take an unfair settlement, and do not provide any recorded statements. Let your attorney do all the talking for you.  Call us today for a free consultation on your case.  We can help you understand your rights.

Protect Your Rights

No matter how small the accident, the first thing you should do is call 9-1-1. When the police arrive, be clear and be specific in letting them know that you would like a police report prepared. Be sure that you are named on the report and that any injuries you are experiencing at that moment are written down. It is also important to have the police take down any witness information, including passengers that were in your vehicle. Be specific in detailing how the accident happened. Always remember that your words are important so you should be accurate and clear. This is your chance to tell your side of the story.

See A Doctor Immediately

After you’ve been involved in an accident, time is of the essence. The longer you wait to visit the emergency room or to see a doctor for your injury, the worse off you will be when dealing with the insurance company. It is critical that you immediately request an ambulance from the scene of the accident. Have the ambulance transport you to an emergency room, and explain to the doctor all of your pain symptoms. This is the time to document all of your injuries. All the insurance companies will see are your medical reports, so what you tell your doctor is extremely important. Be clear and be specific in describing all your injuries.

Continue On A Consistent Course of Treatment

Even after a visit to the emergency room, your journey is only beginning. If you are continuing to experience pain, it is critical that you continue with a consistent course of treatment. Insurance companies love to point out any gaps in your treatment as an indicator that you must not have been in that much pain. Do not give them this excuse. Depending on your level of injuries, you may be referred by your doctor for ongoing chiropractic care, physical therapy, a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, pain management specialist, or other medical provider. Follow through with your care promptly and consistently.
