Maximizing the Settlement of Your Automobile Accident Injury Claim

This article will discuss the steps 10, as the victim of neglect, can take to ensure that you are fairly compensated for the damages and losses after a car accident caused by the negligence of another.

1. After the accident, if you feel hurt, dizzy, weak or otherwise, the pain call 911 to report the accident and request an ambulance. Do not hesitate. In Florida, insurance companies pay the bill for the ambulance through the PIP insurance. If you do not feel that you can call, ask a witness or another driver to call 911 for an ambulance.

2. Write down any information you can about potential witnesses. If you can not get their names, addresses and phone numbers, try at least one copy of their license plate numbers. Not without relying on an investigating officer to write the names of all witnesses. Very often this does not happen.

3. Take pictures of your vehicle, the vehicle crashed into you, or the cause of the accident, the driver of another car or truck was doing after the accident and the car accident scene. Many drivers have cameras on their mobile phones. Photographic evidence of the vehicles and the scene will be very important for any potential demand for a car accident.

4. Remain calm and polite at the scene of the accident, if possible.

5. If you have not already been transported to the hospital, the police officer investigating the car accident will ask if you are injured. Explain to the officer's feelings any pain, discomfort, dizziness, etc. If you say "good" or "ok" when they are not, the officer put in the report were fine, when in reality they were .

6. After the accident, chances are you may experience pain, you do not feel in the scene. If so, consult your family doctor, go to an emergency room or see a doctor at an outpatient clinic. You can use your auto insurance card to obtain treatment. Your insurance company will reimburse the doctor or hospital for medical attention. Do not let the fact that you do not have health insurance you from seeking necessary medical care.

7. Report of a claim to your insurance company.

8. Do not talk to the adjuster of the insurance company of the negligent driver without first consulting an attorney. They often say, in fact, they usually always say they are investigating the claim and the need for a recorded statement from you. The real reason they want a recorded statement is to be used against you in any possible claim.

9. Spend some time looking at several personal injury lawyers. Ask friends of the family of the recommendations. Look up the qualifications of lawyers online or on the web page status bar (as floridabar.org). Meet with the attorney in person and ask as many questions as you wish. If the lawyer does not actually meet with you in your home or office, it sends a "researcher" (which is usually nothing more than his assistant) to meet with you, think twice before signing any agreement.

10. Request frequent face to face with their lawyers. If your lawyer is complaining, you may want to consider another lawyer.

We hope these simple tips will help you maximize the settlement offer to compensate you for your damages and losses sustained in an automobile accident. These tips should not be considered formal legal advice, but general information. You should talk to an attorney after any accident. Most do not charge for a consultation.
