When an accident has occurred that caused serious injuries because of the negligence of another individual, the injured person should contact one of the Injury Lawyers in Hollywood FL. Insurance companies are only worried about keeping as much money as they can in their pocket when a settlement is owed to a victim. They have many attorneys working on their side and a victim needs to have an experienced attorney working for them. Personal injury lawyers provide a free legal consultation to discuss the case and work on a contingency basis. An attorney will only receive compensation if they receive a settlement from the insurance company for the injured victim.
There are many obstacles the guilty party or their insurance company will try to use to fight the claim. Some of these could be:
* The medical treatment a victim received was unnecessary or was not reasonable and customary.
The guilty party was uninsured or inadequately insured and do not have the money to pay all of the damages.
The person that caused the injuries denies they did anything wrong.
The injuries a victim received were not caused by the accident.
The insurance company will claim a victim’s exaggerating their loss of income.
Injury Lawyers in Hollywood FL are used to dealing with these types of claims and many others. They will not let a victim become a victim of the insurance company’s tricks. They will investigate the accident and answer only the necessary questions the insurance company needs to know. The insurance company is never interested in paying a victim a fair settlement and would rather fight against it.
It’s important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident and document the injuries. The officer responding to the scene should file a police report. It’s important to tell the police what hurts without going into detail so it becomes part of the police report. If it’s possible to take photographs, they will help in the future if the case goes to court. Maintain any evidence that pertains to the accident.
If you’ve been a victim of someone else’s carelessness, please contact Law Offices of McCullough & Leboff P.A. for a free consultation.
