What To Do After An Accident

After any accident, it is no surprise that victims generally have trouble gathering evidence. They may not know how to proceed and place their claims at risk. Worse, they may open themselves up for additional injuries. Your type of accident will determine some more specific steps, but in general, you should follow this procedure:

• Get medical attention immediately so that you are not at risk for additional injuries and so that the insurance agent cannot claim that there is a gap between the accident and the treatment
• Take photos of your injuries to show the extent of the suffering
• Snap photos of the scene of the accident, the damage to any belongings, the presence of any defects, and more
• Take down any contact information, insurance information, and other details from the responsible party
• If you have hard evidence like a broken item, hold on to it
• File an incident report if the accident happened at a company
• Interview eyewitnesses for their statements and testimonies as to what happened
• In the event that the police showed up, request a copy of the police report from the precinct once it has been processed
• Contact an attorney for legal assistance

Statute of Limitations for Your Claim

If you were a victim in an accident of some kind, you likely only have two years to file a claim to pursue compensation for damages from the incident. Claims that take too long can suffer from a lack of sufficient evidence or evidence that has gotten lost or corrupt. It is highly recommended that you pursue legal action as quickly as possible to increase your chances of success with your claim. There are some exceptions to the statute of limitations, however, which can be explained to you by our attorneys. A few examples include:

• Minors affected in accidents, who do not have to adhere to the statute of limitations until they turn 18 years old
• Victims who suffer mental or physical incapacitation, who can file a claim once they return to health
• Plaintiffs whose targeted defendants have left the state or country, which would lengthen the statute to match the time he left and would resume when he returns

You can also be subjected to different statute of limitations if you were injured as a result of a doctor or nurse’s negligence. Medical malpractice cases can be filed one year after the discovery of the injury or three years after the injury itself, whichever comes first. However, if a foreign object were left in the body, you would have an unlimited amount of time to file a claim. It is important to understand the different statutes, as you may want to wait longer to ensure that you have all the possible evidence gathered. However, if you talk with a skilled Palmdale personal injury lawyer, you can be sure that your claim will be handled efficiently and with sufficient time to spare.

Reasons to Hire an Attorney

Often, many individuals avoid pursuing worthwhile compensation because they do not know how to start the legal process. They may not have any negotiating experience and will have their claims thrown out immediately due to a lack of knowledge and time. It is highly recommended that you pursue legal help if you do not have the necessary experience required to handle your personal injury lawsuit. An attorney can gather your evidence together and submit it to the insurance agent for consideration. The agent will weigh your case and consider the level of impact your injuries had on your life and career, as well as how bad the injuries were. He will also consider how much of the incident was your fault. Generally, insurance agents will try and make the lowest offer possible and will deny claims if they are not handled by a lawyer. This, paired with the level of legal knowledge needed to positively negotiate with the agency, can make the ordeal troublesome. The stress could have an adverse effect on your health and cause your recovery to get delayed even more. Our Palmdale personal injury attorneys have years of experience dealing with insurance agents and we will be able to keep your claim afloat and at the front of the line.
