~AUTO ACCIDENT INSURANCE CAIM~ Getting Reimbursed For Your "Pain and Suffering"

You’ve had a motor vehicle accident some time ago when a local character by the name of Fred Fuddle smashed into your rear end but now you're in the home stretch with his Adjuster, I. M. Strong, and you’re going to be paid for your loss by Strong’s employer, Rock Solid Insurance. A good portion of it will be for your "Pain and Suffering". That is, in the lingo of insurance claim settlements, your "Compensatory Damages". Let's talk about that:

BODILY INJURY PAIN: How much pain can an individual stand? The answer to that is: Reaction to pain not only differs with each of us, but often within each of us. While pain can usually be scientifically measured, the limits of human endurance cannot. We all have a different "Pain Threshold" - - that is, the point at which we begin to feel physical distress as we enter into, and then deal with, a period of suffering.

A lot depends on what's going on in your life and how you experience it. Temperament and psychological factors are involved. Like, for example, your personal life is in a shambles (for any number of reasons) and that has hindered your ability to recover. Or, perhaps the company you work for is on the brink of bankruptcy!

The mechanism through which you feel an injury is so complicated that there are times when the same pain appears to be more (or less) than that of previous days. For example: one day you have a problem that causes you to complain endlessly. This makes you impossible to live with and your pain seems to be much stronger. Yet, a similar situation on a much better day, doesn’t upset you so profoundly and the pain is not nearly as bad.

YOUR "PAIN AND SUFFERING" (Your “Compensatory Damages“): The type of injury you suffered, as a result of Fred Fuddle crashing into you (plus the nature and length of your treatment) are two of the best indicators for both the adjuster and Rock Solid Insurance to consider regarding the "Pain and Suffering" you experienced. However, there are several other areas you should call to the attention of Adjuster Strong so as to make him aware of what you've been dealing with.

MEDICATION: The fact that you were prescribed either over-the-counter or prescription medication by Ole’ “Doc” Comfort, your family physician, to relieve pain, inflammation (and/or any other injury symptoms), will help to convince I. M. Strong that your injuries were serious and caused you to endure a great deal of "Pain and Suffering". No matter which way you slice that cake, the more powerful the medication, and the longer it’s prescribed for, the greater the value your claim will be. That's a fact of life in the business of insurance claims.

LENGTH OF RECOVERY: The longer your recovery period, the greater your "Pain and Suffering"- - therefore the higher the settlement value of your bodily injury. Make sure “Doc” Comfort clearly indicates this in his Final Medical Report. Tell him he must state in writing (via the weeks and months) how long it will be, before you were able to engage in your routine activities. Make sure he doesn't send that report directly to Adjuster Strong. You get it first and then later on you’ll send it along to Strong. But, before you do, read it. If good Ole’ “Doc” Comfort hasn't clearly stated this, hand it back to him and tell him he must. You have every right to insist that he does. You're paying his bills, it's your report, your insurance claim, and your big bucks he's not being serious about!

As long as you continue to have physical problems you should keep going back to see your doctor, again and again, and again ! Other than the obvious "Pain and Suffering" it will help to convince Rock Solid Insurance you’ve endured, there are two other very good reasons for doing this. They are as follows:

(1) The fact that your records show visit’s to your doctor, four, six, eight (or even more) weeks after the accident, will convince Adjuster Strong and Rock Solid that your injury took a long time to deal and required continual attention. (Plus it clearly indicates each and every day you were unable to work and therefore it proves, beyond the shadow of any doubt, the income you lost). Never forget: Your attending physician’s Medical Report is the only way you can prove you were unable to work and in any court of law that will justify your claim for lost wages.

(2) When you visit “Doc” Comfort be sure to tell him there's been little (if any!) decrease of your pain, discomfort, stiffness or immobility. Make sure, when he does execute that Final Medical Report, this is clearly stated in his written remarks. If it isn't you have every right to go back, hand it to him and insist that it is.

SCARS: In many instances large and obvious scaring increase's the value of your claim (big time!) - - especially if the scarred portion of your body is visible. If you've been sitting at a desk for 25 years, your chin is double, your hair is gone, and you own a bulging stomach, and that’s where the scar is, it’s not going to be worth much. But, if you're a tall, dark and handsome, twenty year old and the scar is on your face, than it's worth a ton. Take colored photographs of every scar and every scrape that causes swelling and/or discoloration to your skin plus every mark on your body! After you’ve handed a copy of those photographs to Adjuster I M. Strong he’ll be sending them to his boss in the Home Office. I’ve been in that seat so I can flat out guarantee you his immediate superior in the home office will stare at those photo’s and gulp. He’ll blanch, take a deep breath and send Strong a one liner that reads something like: “Do whatever it takes to get rid of this one. Se!

ttle it and let‘s move on.”

If the scar is bad enough insist that Dr. Comfort refer you to a Plastic Surgeon for an opinion as to whether your scar can be repaired and/or removed. Once you've been examined ask that Specialist to detail in writing (and insist that he send his report to you) how much it will cost to make it look right again. You may never get it repaired, and/or removed, but include that Plastic Surgeon's report, plus copies of the bills you’ve accumulated because of your visits to him, and hand them to Adjuster Strong. This will absolutely, positively give your claim more value !

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS REGARDING OBTAINING THE SERVICES OF A LAWYER:

QUESTION: “Is it necessary to obtain the services of an attorney who will take a cut of 33 1/3% of the settlement (in some states up to 50%) he recovers from the insurance company of the individual who struck you“? ANSWER: “Yes, there are some situations where it makes sense to do so“. HOWEVER: Especially in a case where the impact is absolutely not your fault in any way, shape, manor or form - - you should be clear with the lawyer you choose that those out-of-pocket expenses you would have been paid (weather they represented you or not) should not be part of his settlement!

Let’s say, for example: You were at a dead stop while waiting for a light to change from red to green, when struck a tremendous blow in the rear by a distracted driver. It’s 100% clear to all concerned that the damages you received will be paid by the insurance company of the individual that struck you.

The property damage to your motor vehicle is $2,800, your lost wages are $450, your final Doctor’s bill (plus all your other Out-Of-Pocket “Medical Expenses”) comes to $750 for a total (Property Damages/Lost Wages/Medical Bills) of $4,000. you live in an area where the lawyers typical “Contingency Fee” is 33 1/3%. QUESTION: “Should that lawyer take 33/13% ($1,333.33) of that $4,000“? ANSWER: “No“! QUESTION: “Why not“? ANSWER: “Because you were going to get that $4,000 weather there was an attorney representing you or not“! In a situation where the liability is clear the attorney should take, as his fee, 33 1/3% of everything he gets above and beyond , that $4,000!

So, let’s say the attorney obtained a settlement of $4,800 for your “Pain and Suffering”. When that figure is added to the $4,000 of Out-Of-Pocket Expenses (as detailed above) the total would come to $8,800. To be fair he should not take 1/3 of $8,800 ($2,933.33 - - thus leaving you with $5,866.66) but 1/3 of the $4,800 ($1,600 - - thus leaving you with $7,200). QUESTION: “What has he done to earn that additional $1,333.34“? ANSWER: “Absolutely nothing”!

I Had a Car Accident - Do I Need an Attorney?

Every day in California, with its network of Freeways and traffic congestion, there are thousands of car accidents ranging from minor fender benders to catastrophic life altering experiences and/or death. If you are one of the unfortunate people who are in this group you undoubtedly have asked yourself the question "Do I need an Attorney?"

In cases where the injuries are substantial there is no question that a qualified and experienced personal injury litigator should be retained as quickly as possible. There are multiple reasons for this, not the least of which is to protect you from the wrongdoer's insurance company's attempts to distort the facts of the accident and to do everything in their power to minimize your injuries. They do this in a variety of ways, but the most common is their desire to immediately obtain a statement from you before you speak to an attorney and ask questions in ways that yield responses that can and will be used against you later on.

The belief that you are "in good hands" if the Allstate adjuster calls you to find out your version of the accident and the extent of your injuries is naive at best and down right wrong at worst. The adjuster, and the Insurance Company Attorney, will take whatever is said and use it in the worst possible way against you. My favorite example of this is the client, who states that the other car "came out of nowhere!!" I cringe every time a potential client uses that phrase because it implies that the client was not paying attention immediately before the collision occurred. Cars come from somewhere. They never "come out of nowhere". That statement, given to an insurance company, even if you knew exactly where that car came from, will cause damage to your case. That is just one of the many little things that an experienced attorney will make sure is avoided thereby protecting the value and integrity of your case.

It is very typical that the extent of ones injuries are not fully appreciated until a few months after the accident occurred. It is the usual pattern that a person is first diagnosed with "soft tissue injuries" if x-rays do not reveal any broken bones. The custom and practice is for these patients to receive medication and some sort of physical therapy to aid with the healing process, however some of these accident victims do not recover as is predicted. Many develop all different types of symptoms including radiating pain down the limbs known as "radiculapathy". This is a significant finding that requires immediate medical attention and more diagnostic testing including, but not limited to, an MRI of the affected area. In a worst case scenario the MRI will reveal a positive finding that there is some "disc pathology" which might require anything from medication, pain management, and epidural injections to complex spine surgery. Unless you have an Attorney to properly manage your case and navigate the hurdles for you, the wrongdoer's Insurance Company, and their Attorney, will do everything they can to minimize your claim and present what is nothing less than a frivolous defense to your righteous case.

The defense attorney will obtain every single medical record that exists relating to treatment you have received going back as far as they can which often times is decades. They will look for any little notation in any medical chart they can find to try and link your present complaints to some other unrelated event. This is what they do! This is why they get paid very well by Insurance Companies. If you don't have an Attorney who is at least as smart as they are you are at a supreme disadvantage and you will be taken advantage of. This is not my opinion. This is a fact.

Most attorneys who specialize in Personal Injury Law offer a free consultation. There is no excuse not to take an hour of your time to consult with an experienced attorney after being involved in a Car Accident when you consider what the consequences could be if you don't. Drive Safely.

Car Accident Attorney Help

A car accident attorney is usually needed in short notice, which is why it may be difficult to actually take one's time in picking one. There are some ways to appease one's decision regarding the choice and, although these are not surefire way to be certain, they can really help a lot.

Research

Going online to research for details about any car accident attorney can be somewhat helpful. Usually, the information posted on the web about lawyers and such professionals are generic and positive but there are some comments that can be read about the performance of law firms and some of their lawyers. It is not always comments from clients that can also support the choice of a lawyer but also his background and record can be seen in some sites. Included in the information are the organizations with which he is affiliated with and some also include his charities and other not so vital information which may also help form an opinion of the attorney.

Consultation and Rapport

Many people say it is not good to judge a book by its cover. During the consultation with the car accident attorney, you can form an opinion regarding the professional. Skill and intellect are some of the things that the client should look for but rapport is something that is also necessary. Even if the lawyer is exemplary in a lot of things, if he has no people skills, this can undermine his relationship with the client. The client may not be entirely comfortable with him and be reluctant to share vital information with him. A balance between skill, intellect and rapport needs to be established between the customer and the solicitor for the relationship to work.

Tips and Advice

The customer should have some say in the case. The car accident attorney should listen to the views of the client and work with these views instead of just going through the motions of extracting his client from the case or helping his client gain justice. They usually know up to what extent the compensation for any injuries and damage can reach and where it is not feasible to go to. The defense for such cases can also negotiate with the solicitors from the other party to help reach an amicable agreement instead of going to court. He will also make sure that the paper work and documentation are up to date and proper.

Car Accident? Injured? Get a Free Attorney Consultation

When it comes to settling claims, having an experienced attorney fight your claim can make all the difference between success and failure. Yet, people still shy away from consulting an attorney. Why? Is it because of some myths associated with them? If you need more proof to be less wary of consulting attorneys, here are the top four reasons:

Reason 1:
Most initial accident or injury claim consultations are absolutely free, with no obligation to continue further legal counsel. So you do not have to hire the attorney no matter how many questions you ask about settlement tips, injury claims, etc. This should be enough reason to motivate you to see a qualified injury claims attorney for settlement tips.

Reason 2:
By consulting an attorney, you are also exercising your right to speak to an attorney before you provide any information to the insurance company. If you plan on submitting a written statement before consulting an attorney, you could be harming your accident claims case without even realizing it.

Any negotiations with your insurance company before you consult an attorney can go against you in many ways. One important way is that the company pegs a certain settlement value to your claim, which is usually lower than compensation amount you deserve. Later, even if you engage an attorney, the provider will always bargain based on their 'original' settlement value.

Reason 3:
No one can advise you about ALL the damages that you are entitled to better than an experienced attorney. He will also be able to inform you about the right parties and policies to file claims with, since such subtle legal changes make all the difference. With such appropriate knowledge, you will no doubt file your vehicle repair claim, medical claim, etc. with all the right parties.

Reason 4:
Getting fair compensation from an insurance provider is rarely easy. The need of an experienced personal injury attorney to successfully resolve your case cannot be emphasized enough. In fact, there are studies that prove that insurance providers pay more compensation when the claimant has involved an attorney.

In other words, if you don't want to hire an attorney because you think it's a hassle, you are in for more trouble than if you have an experienced attorney on your side. Contact for further information on claims related issues.

Steps To Take If You Have Been Injured In an Auto Accident

Steps to Take Immediately After an Accident Occurs:

· Do not leave the scene, but do move your vehicle out the flow of traffic, if possible.

· Try to locate any injured parties and make sure that no one is in harm’s way. Do not move an injured person unless it is necessary to prevent further harm.

· Call for help. Request emergency medical attention if needed and always contact law enforcement, even if no one appears to be seriously hurt.

· Get all contact and insurance information. This includes the full names, addresses, and phone numbers of everyone involved, including other drivers, passengers and witnesses. Also write down the insurance carriers, policy numbers, and driver’s license numbers of all drivers, and license plate numbers, year, make, and model of every vehicle involved.

· Photograph the scene. This includes the vehicles involved, the surrounding area, skid marks, injuries, and any roadway defects. Take pictures of anything and everything that could possibly be significant to your case. Irrelevant photos can be discarded later after your attorney has reviewed them.

· Seek medical attention. Once you have been given permission to leave the scene, seek immediate medical attention, even if you do not believe you are injured. You may be in shock, and you may have injuries that you are not aware of. Some injuries may seem minor or do not present immediate symptoms but can still be present and cause serious medical problems.

· Document everything. Write down everything that you remember about the accident, as soon as possible. The more time that passes the more likely it is that you will forget important details.

In the days, weeks, and months following the accident, you may be approached by insurance agents or attorneys asking you to sign papers or even accept a payment for damages. Do not sign anything. Talk to your attorney first. You may be signing away your rights or even accepting responsibility for part or all of the accident. Steps to take in the days following an auto accident include:

· Call an experienced auto accident attorney. While you may not plan intend to file a lawsuit, others involved in the accident may file a claim against you. Even if the circumstances of the accident seem obvious to you, you may have to fight the insurance company.

· Report the accident to your insurance company.

· Continue medical treatment. Although you may be intimidated by the potential medical bills, you must continue your recommended medical treatment.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an auto accident, contact an experienced auto accident attorney today.
