Let a Professional Handle Your Personal Injury Claim
Trying to work your personal injury claim without the help of a Tampa Personal Injury lawyer isn’t a good idea. To be successful, you should acquire the help of an attorney who has ample experience working personal injury accidents in Tampa. By doing this, your likelihood of getting the largest possible settlement and excellent, hassle-free medical care increases tremendously.
Under the supervision of a lawyer, one of our case managers will guide and assist your property damage recovery efforts. You will also have the help of a paralegal who will assist you with any legal release forms you may need to complete. Once filled out, these forms will be read by one of our many skilled Tampa personal injury lawyers, who have had a great deal of experience with personal injury accident claims.
Since a general release form could potentially cost you the right to win any money from your personal injury claim, it is imperative that the correct release form is used for your damaged property and is then reviewed by a lawyer. Our past experience has involved accident cases during which insurance adjusters sent the injured party a general release form to settle the damaged property. If the victims had signed those forms, they would have unknowingly released the insurance company from having to make any further payment on the individual’s personal injury case. Since we were able to change the legal wording on these documents, we were able to help the victims get the settlements they deserved.
Victims should never work on their own personal injury accident cases because the outcome will most likely not be good. Occasionally, our office will receive a call from an individual after they have tried to handle their personal injury claim on their own and run into issues with their insurance company. Generally, by that point, the representative from the insurer has weakened or irreparably damaged the case with statements they have taken and delays to the victim’s medical care. When this type of situation arises, our law office will not accept the case.
Although you may want to get your personal injury accident claim over as quickly as possible, hurriedly rushing into a settlement could be disastrous. The first step you should take when experiencing pain caused by your accident is to seek medical attention from a Tampa Medical Doctor or chiropractor. You should seek care from a medical provider who has ample experience handling trauma-induced injuries arising from personal injury accident cases. Additionally, you may need to take steps at home to further your recovery. Items such as hot packs, massage, and electrical stimulation can be therapeutic and help speed up recovery time. It is important that you don’t wait to treat your injuries since they may worsen over time instead of improving on their own.
When you go to a medical professional to have your injuries assessed and diagnosed, your doctor or chiropractor should make use of their trauma injury training and perform tests to determine the extent of your injuries. They may perform one or more diagnostic tests such as a Cat scan or MRI to search for internal injuries and hidden causes of pain that aren’t viewable on an x-ray. One of the most common causes of pain resulting from a personal injury accident is disc herniation in the spine. This is a very serious condition and shouldn’t be taken lightly because herniated discs often require epidurals or surgery in order to improve. Furthermore, it is important not to delay medical care after an accident because you could potentially have brain bleeding or nerve entrapment– two conditions which will only continue to worsen as time passes. These are just a few of the many reasons why you should never rush into settling your own personal injury accident.
