Strategies To Help You Navigate A Head Injury Claim

HeadInjury

If you sustained a serious head injury in an accident because of another party’s wrongdoing, you have the right to file a personal injury claim and recover monetary damages. Because of your injury, you might be feeling unsure about how to navigate the claims process. You might be feeling confused about what you need to do to ensure the success of your case. The Pendas Law Firm is here to support you through your journey of seeking the compensation you deserve for your injuries and damages. Our Fort Myers personal injury attorneys provide some strategies to help you navigate the personal injury claims process and ensure the success of your claim.

Gather Documents and Evidence

Evidence is essential for the success of your head injury claim. Your attorney can help you find expert witnesses for your case. They can help you find an accident reconstruction expert if one is needed for your case. But while your attorney can help you with such, there are many other things you can do to help. Some of the documents and evidence you can gather to help your attorney include your medical records, medical bills, and letters from the at-fault party’s insurance company.

Start a Journal

A head injury can make it hard for you to describe your daily symptoms and how your injury has affected your life. A journal can help make it easy for you to describe such things. Describing your daily symptoms and how your head injury has changed your life is crucial to ensuring you recover the compensation you deserve.

Don’t Talk to the Insurance Company

Some personal injury victims think that talking to the at-fault party’s insurance company will help them recover the compensation they deserve. But the truth is that if you speak to the at-fault party’s insurance company and give a recorded statement, that statement might be used against you. Insurance companies usually ask personal injury victims to give recorded statements so they can find things to use against them. If, for example, you say something that makes it seem your accident was your fault, the insurance company will use that against you to reduce the value of your claim or deny you compensation. It is best that you allow your attorney to speak to the insurance company on your behalf.

Assume the Insurance Company Is Undervaluing Your Case

Insurance companies are out to make profits. And they cannot make profits if they keep paying out huge sums of money to claimants. It is best that you always assume the at-fault party’s insurance company is trying to settle your head injury claim as cheaply as possible. If the insurance company makes you a settlement offer (especially if you are handling your case alone), you can almost always assume it is a low offer. Before accepting a settlement offer from the insurance company, it is best that you speak with an experienced personal injury attorney.
