If you’ve been seriously injured in a car, truck, bus or slip and fall, or if you’ve been victim of a dangerous product, you should immediately call a personal injury lawyer in Silverdale. Protecting your rights and healing from the injuries is very important. Attempting to settle a claim with an insurance company can be frustrating because, even though they try to give the appearance that they are going to help you, the only thing the insurance company is concerned about is keeping as much money as possible in their own pockets. An attorney will immediately begin negotiating with the insurance company and will never give the insurance company any information they don’t need.
Serious injuries can render someone unable to return to work. Brain damage, broken bones, permanent disfigurement, nerve damage and many other injuries can have lasting effects on someone’s life. Going back to work could cause further damage to the injured person. A negligent party company can be held liable to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property loss. Although someone may have muscle soreness and pain that goes away, they could have a herniated disc in their back or neck. If someone rushes to sign a settlement agreement, they will not be able to receive any further compensation. Someone should never settle with an insurance company until their medical care is completed.
A personal injury lawyer in Silverdale will make sure victims have access to experienced doctors that will give a thorough and complete diagnosis. Some doctors will prescribe the person therapy five days a week and tell them they’re cured when the insurance is exhausted. Victims need a doctor who will treat their injuries. When there are multiple parties involved in an accident, determining who’s at fault for payment of the injuries also requires experience that only a personal injury attorney can offer.
If you’ve been a victim of someone else’s negligence or carelessness, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible and to seek medical treatment. Failing to go to the hospital or doctors for several days could jeopardize your opportunity to claim that the injuries were from the accident. Contact Anthony C. Otto, Attorney at Law for more information.
