How to Deal With Your Personal Injury Case?

Kanner & Pintaluga

Document EverythingA legal case is built on evidence, and in a personal injury suit, that means documentation. There are many ways to document an injury. File a police report. Take photographs. Talk to witnesses, and make sure to get their names and phone numbers so that you or your lawyer can contact them later.

Don't Take any Money

An insurance company representative may call you or come to your house, offering a check for a nominal amount of money. Your best course of action is to provide the insurance company representative with your lawyer's contact information, and have him handle the offer.

Listen to Your Lawyer

Personal injury law is complex, and the rules are very specific. You hired a lawyer because he knows the rules and you don't. You'll only have a successful case if you listen to his advice. That means showing up for any depositions or insurance company medical exams that your lawyer tells you that you need to attend.

Be Careful about Your Words

At the scene of the accident, don't say anything to the other party that sounds like an admission of guilt. A simple "I'm sorry" can come back to bite you in court later on. You should also avoid talking to the other party's lawyer, investigators for the defendant's lawyer, or insurance company representatives or investigators, unless your lawyer is present.

Ask Your Lawyer

Do you have time for the case? Will you deal with all the police work and other aspects? How long have you been dealing with personal injury cases? What are the costs of services involved? Now, these are some of the simplest things to ask your lawyer.
