FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PERSONAL INJURY
What should
I do if I've been injured?
First, you should seek medical attention. You should also file
a police report. If you have been injured due to the fault of
someone else, you should prepare as much documentation as soon
as possible. Do not give a recorded statement to the other person's
insurance company. Yes, they need information, but they do not
need to record it. The only purpose in recording your statement
is to later use it against you, if you need to bring a lawsuit
against them.
Do I need
an attorney?
It depends. An insurance adjuster's main job is to pay you as
little money as possible and to close your claim quickly. Both
of these actions may not be in your best interest. Yet, if you
are comfortable dealing with your adjuster as an adversary,
you may not need a lawyer. However, it may be wise to have professional
advice on your side to make sure that all your rights are protected.

How long
can I wait before I file a claim?
Depending on the type of claim, it can range from six months
to two years. Because this involves a legal opinion, only an
attorney can answer this question properly.
