STEPS TO RECOVERY

What you can do to protect yourself from further harm and preserve your right to money compensation for the damages you suffered

Unfortunately, insurance companies care more about their own pocket book than they do about you and your injuries. Competent medical help must be your first priority. Hiring a trusted attorney will assist you in making the right choices during these difficult and confusing times. We can immediately assist you in many areas, including auto repair issues, rental vehicle and reimbursement, medical payment coverage questions and protect you during the critical time just after a collision.

If you follow these simple steps,  you will protect yourself from further harm, increase your chances of a quicker physical recovery and enhance your right to get the money you are entitled to as an injured person:

Obtain the Best Medical Care — and Document It

Healing from your injuries is the Number One Goal. You must have a doctor who listens to you, addresses your injuries, and continues to serve you until you complete your recovery.  If your doctor does not want to get involved, you must seek a referral because ultimately that doctor will not help you to heal as quickly as possible or properly document your injuries. Hiring our office now will help you get the best medical care you need, because a trusted attorney can provide direction when seeking the best medical care possible.

How Our Office Can Help with Medical Care

Our office will: (1) guide you through the maze of medical options;  (2) make sure you get the kind of care that helps you heal and, (3) protect your rights to recover maximum monetary damages for your injuries, medical expenses, and any other losses.

How Your Medical Care Determines Your Potential For Physical and Monetary Recovery

The amount you recover in your case due to a collision depends on your ability to prove, through your doctors, the nature, extent and duration of your injuries. Thus, your recovery depends on the quantity and quality of notes, reports, and other documents your doctor provide. Our office can assist you in securing and preserving this all-important documentation.

Our Office Can Assist You In Getting Your Automobile Fixed or Replaced Immediately, Avoiding a Dangerous Trap

People sometimes unknowingly sign away their rights to further compensation for their damages by signing a so-called “simple” release to get their vehicle repaired or replaced. Getting your transportation back depends on a number of complex legal provisions — a virtual snare for the unwary. Our office will save you from this trap and guide you through these hurdles doing everything possible to get you up and running quickly with transportation that suits your needs.  Our office will save you countless hours of confusing telephone calls and errands in making the proper arrangements for you to get a working vehicle promptly, especially since we have an Enterprise Rent-A-Car office on premises.

The Trap

Beware of insurance company representatives who offer to get your car fixed and make other promises to you. Insurance companies do not have your best interests at heart, no matter how nice they seem. They are bottom line driven.  They know if you hire an attorney, they will have to treat you fairly, which they do not want to do.  Avoid signing anything or speaking with any insurance adjusters until you have hired the right attorney.

Never Talk to Insurance Company Representatives — No Matter What They Offer or Want

Typically, an insurance adjuster will call or visit you shortly after your collision and offer you money to fix your vehicle and pay for your medical bills. Remember, no matter how friendly and helpful they seem, no matter what they offer you, insurance companies have one goal —  save their company money at your expense. A good attorney will not let this happen.

Insurance Hype

If you hire an attorney now, our office will get you more from the insurance company than you can get on your own. Insurance companies do not want you to hire our office now, or ever.  They will try and persuade you not to hire any attorney by making promises they will never keep.

Hidden Motives

Think about the ulterior motives of those who ask you to sign a paper before an attorney can approve it. While that paper may look innocent, it can have disastrous effects on your case, your ability to get appropriate medical care you and your right to recover money damages for your injuries.

How Our Office Can Help

Our office will always review documents before you sign them, tell you what is ok to sign, and fight for your rights if someone requires a harmful document in exchange for your getting your car fixed or medical payments.

Don’t Talk To Anyone Without The OK Of A Trusted Attorney

Carefully guard your words about the collision. Insurance companies, investigators, and even police officers may appear at your door or bedside and ask you questions, or insist that you sign papers or statements.  Do not do so without hiring an attorney first. You have a right to consult with an attorney before you talk to anyone about how your injury happened.

Do Not Talk With Strangers About Your Injury Or How It Happened

Anybody you to talk to about your collision or injuries could be a witness against you in court or settlement proceedings. Do Not trust strangers with the details of your injury and how it happened.  Your attorney should be apprised of any such attempts.

You Must Talk To Your Doctors And Medical Care-givers

Answer all of the questions asked of you by medical people treating your injuries. This information is vital so the medical providers can treat your injuries and document all of your problems. Discuss every complaint and injury you suffered, no matter how small it may seem to you at the time.  Once you hire our office, we request all the records and bills to document your injuries and damages and maximize your recovery potential.
