What Can I Do to Ensure That I am Justly Compensated for My Auto Accident Claim?

With regards to car accident claims, claimants often have questions about the various nuances and intricacies of the claim process, such as insurance regulations and medical treatments. Sometimes, however, these questions have to do with the process overall, such as what steps can be taken to maximize the amount of compensation for a given case.

We will discuss this question in detail below, but first we should mention that a proven car accident lawyer from Van Law Firm can help answer any questions you may have regarding your claim. Call our location nearest you today for a free consultation. 

Steps You Can Take to Best Ensure Fair Compensation 

For a free legal consultation, call (725) 900-9000

The first tip we give clients is to be swift with their decision-making. You should file your claim right away, retain a trusted car accident lawyer as soon as you can, and receive medical treatment immediately after your accident. The reason for this is that it helps strengthen the overall validity of your case. Essentially, the most common way that insurers and opposing counsel try and avoid paying claims is to look for any way to downplay the severity and validity of a claimant’s injuries. However, if you file a claim right away and seek both medical treatment and legal representation, it is much harder to do so. Furthermore, if you wait too long to do any of those things, it will be much harder to prove your actual condition at the time of the incident. 

The second thing claimants should do is to look for any potential witnesses whenever an accident takes place and get their contact information if at all possible. Good, solid witness statements aren’t easy to obtain, but they can do wonders for your case. It ties back to the idea of strengthening your claim as best you can–if you can show that other people also saw the accident in question and they agree that the defendant was at fault, your claim becomes much harder to disprove.

One last tip to consider is that once the claim process has started, you should try and “lay low” as best you can until it is completed. This simply means that you should take special care to not do anything that could potentially jeopardize your own case. We suggest that all claimants make their social media pages private, avoid straining or exacerbating any injuries, and be aware of what they say and to whom. Under no circumstances should you speak with anyone from the at-fault party’s insurer, or anyone else who is presiding over your claim. You can’t control everything, but you can put yourself in a good position by staying away from potential harm while your case is still pending.
