Understanding the Personal Injury Claim Process

The personal injury claim process can be rather complicated and complex. The first step is to talk to an experienced personal injury attorney about your case. They will able to guide you on when, where, and how to file your claim. They will help you then collect evidence, negotiate with the insurance company, and get the compensation you need to move forward. Going through the personal injury claim process can be almost impossible to navigate by yourself.

Insurance companies will take advantage of an unrepresented party and try to give you the smallest amount possible. The key to getting proper compensation is hiring a legal advocate to stand up for your rights. After you have filed your personal injury claim, your attorney will argue on your behalf. If the insurance company refuses to pay you what you are entitled to, you will go to court and demand reimbursement for your damages. Every case can be different in how the personal injury claims process plays out. For a more accurate idea of how your case will go, make sure to contact your attorney.

When it comes to the personal injury claims process, it’s easy to become overwhelmed – after all, this is one complicated process we’re talking about!

In general, most personal injury claims processes go something like this: you’ll select the
personal injury attorney that best suits your needs, and meet with him or her to go over your claim. Your attorney will then help you come up with a plan to successfully receive the
compensation you need and deserve. Depending on your insurance company, you may have to go to court, or you may be able to reach an out-of-court settlement with your attorney’s help. Every case is different!

Types of Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury law is designed to provide compensation to a party injured due to another’s negligence. Many of these negligence scenarios could be considered personal injury cases. Here are a few of the most common:

  • Car Accidents – Car accidents make up the clear majority of personal injury cases here in the United States. When an accident occurs, it’s because someone wasn’t following the rules of the road, or was driving carelessly. Accidents often lead to injuries and property damage, which are both expensive.
  • Slip and Fall – Slip and fall incidents are the second most common form of personal injury in the country. Property owners, especially businesses, have a legal duty to keep their premises safe from hazards.

What Is a Personal Injury Compensation Claim?

The compensation you receive from a personal injury case directly relates to your medical bills. The insurance company will typically also consider other losses, such as out-of-pocket expenses or lost income. The calculation process can become complex. The insurance adjuster has the perplexing task of putting a price on something with no monetary value, such as pain or emotional distress.

Regardless, the first step to receiving monetary damages is filing a claim. It can be tough to navigate the world of insurance. You’ll want to hire an experienced attorney. You need someone on your side who has experience handling personal injury claims and insurance providers. At Lucé Law, PC, we cannot put a price on what you’ve been through. However, we can fight for your rights and a settlement that makes sense. Call us today to schedule a consultation!

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

There are no specific guidelines when it comes to hiring a personal injury attorney. While many states do have time constraints in place for filing a lawsuit, you can easily speak with a lawyer about your specific situation. It’s important to understand what a personal injury attorney can do for you. In many cases, such as a car accident, legal representation may be the only way to receive the damages you deserve.

If you have suffered a personal injury, you should generally hire a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. You should certainly not wait around for a year or so. The nature of your case also factors into the timeframe. In any situation, the sooner you can hire a personal injury attorney, the more quickly they can fight for your rights.

How Soon Should I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If you’re planning on filing a personal injury lawsuit, in Texas, there is a two-year statute of limitations for doing so. Of course, sooner is always better than later – filing a lawsuit while the details of what happened are still fresh on your mind is important. This way, you can ensure that you’ll remember all the names of people, details, and other important info that will help your case.

What Is Personal Injury Protection?

PIP, or personal injury protection, is a type of insurance that covers medical expenses and lost wages after an accident. It is often known as “no-fault” insurance coverage because it pays claims whether the fault is determined or not. In other words, it protects you from the aftermath of an accident regardless of who caused it. In most other situations, the only way to obtain compensation is to determine fault. PIP streamlines the entire process.

The amount of coverage varies depending on your specific plan, of course. If the insurance company refuses to pay out a reasonable amount, you may require an experienced attorney. A lawyer will understand how best to handle an insurance adjuster. If you feel your injury case requires further action, such as a lawsuit, speak to an attorney from Lucé Law, PC.

An insurance company will be aiming to minimize any damages paid. It is advisable to speak with a personal injury attorney to determine if the settlement is fair.
