car accidentA personal injury can be devastating and have a catastrophic impact on your life. Your personal wellbeing can be threatened because of the high cost of medical bills, income loss, and in some cases property damage. When you have been in a serious accident, it is possible that you can suffer a temporary or permanent disability that can reduce your quality of life. You will need to seek advice from dedicated Tallahassee personal injury lawyers to help support you through this difficult time. They can investigate your accident and hold the at-fault party responsible for your wounds. Here is what you should do = if you’ve been in an accident.

Get Medical Help

Typically after a serious accident, you may be unable to move and may need emergency assistance. You may need to have an EMT stabilize your condition on-site so that your health doesn’t deteriorate before you reach the hospital. In less serious circumstances, you may not need to be transported by an ambulance and can drive to the emergency room on your own. It is important that you get medical help as soon as possible to protect your health. Additionally, your medical bills are physical evidence that proves that your injuries were caused by the accident. Delaying medical treatment can put your health at risk and reduce your settlement claim.

Take Pictures

If you are able to, take pictures of the accident scene to help provide proof for your claim. You can ask someone to do it for you if you are too incapacitated to do so on your own. Also, you can take pictures of your injuries. This helps show the severity of your damages; for example, it helps to show if you are required to wear a cast or use assistive devices.

Try To Get Contact Information From Witnesses

In addition to getting contact information from the other party, make sure that you get contact information from any witnesses who saw what happened. They can help strengthen your personal injury claim.

Call A Personal Injury Lawyer

You will want to work with a personal injury lawyer to help you obtain the compensation you are owed for your injuries. Before initiating your settlement, your attorney will review your case and figure out if the other party is at fault. If they can be held responsible, your attorney will investigate your claim and find out all of the factors that led up to your injury. They will also calculate the damages you are owed by adding up your economic and non-economic damages. Using the evidence you documented and additional proof that they dig up, they can seek a settlement and prove that the other party is responsible for your damages.

Negotiate a Settlement

Your attorney will draft documents providing the details of your damages, the evidence regarding how it happened, and other crucial information. When your settlement claim is initiated, they will then share the drafted documents with the other parties involved in your accident. Your attorney will work hard to negotiate a settlement between parties to find a resolution. They will update you on any responses and guide you on the next steps. The negotiation process can last weeks or months until the settlement claim is resolved. If the other party doesn’t settle, your attorney can help you file a lawsuit and represent you in court.

What If I Have Questions About My Personal Injury?

Settlement claims can be complicated, but to answer all of your questions you should speak to an attorney directly. They have years of experience dealing with various degrees of personal injury cases. They can also give you an idea of what you should expect in terms of a settlement. If the other party reaches out to you, don’t agree to a settlement until you’ve spoken to a lawyer first. You may need ongoing treatment and suffer long-term wage loss. This will make sure you get the compensation you deserve and make sure all of your damages are completely covered.
