It’s extremely important to seek immediate medical attention. However, if you are not taken to the ER, make sure to gather photos and videos of the scene and the contact information of any witnesses.
It is important not to admit fault or apologize to anyone else who was involved, even if it seems polite. This can be used against you in your claim or lawsuit. If you have been injured, it’s also important to speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. That way you will know if you have a case and what to expect.
This will depend entirely on the statute of limitations in your state. A personal injury case may need to be filed within a year of the accident, or you may have as much as four years to file. You should check the rule in your state to make sure that you do not accidentally waive your rights.
While there are some exceptions to the statute of limitations, they are very narrow, so it’s best to pursue a claim as soon as possible.
You should not speak with an insurance adjuster for someone else involved in the accident. While they may seem friendly and sympathetic, they simply care about protecting the rights of their insured party.
In this case, if you have reached out to an attorney, you can notify the adjuster to contact your attorney, or insurance company if you haven’t reached out to an attorney yet.
There is no easy answer to this, and it cannot be ascertained until your case has been thoroughly investigated. In addition, your attorneys will not promise any certain amounts or predict the outcome of the case. All estimates that you receive can be vague and may not be final, depending on the similar cases your attorneys might have handled.
You can still get damages from someone else who was at fault for the accident. The damages may be reduced to account for the pre-existing condition, but you can hold another person or entity accountable for aggravating the condition.
The damages that you can recover if you were partly at fault depend on the state where you live. Only a few states use a contributory negligence rule, which provides that a victim cannot recover any damages if they were at all at fault. In some states, you will be able to recover damages as long as you were not 50 percent or more (or sometimes 51 percent or more) at fault. In other states, you will be able to recover damages as long as you were not completely at fault. The damages will be proportionate to the defendant’s degree of fault.
It is very hard to predict and can vary dramatically. As a general rule, a claim that involves substantial injuries and a significant amount of money will take longer to settle because the insurer will fight harder over it. If the case is complex or liability is unclear, a settlement also may take longer to reach. Very few personal injury cases actually go to trial. Having an attorney can motivate the insurer to make a fair offer earlier in the process and reduce the expected times.
Generally speaking, that should take a week or two of signing the settlement agreement, as most parties wish to close the cases efficiently.
You do not pay unless we win. This means we collect our fee as a percentage of the settlement or judgment we obtain for you. We do not receive anything unless you win. This is also known as a “contingency fee arrangement”.
