How We Can Help
Those who have sustained a serious injury as a result of the conduct of others have a right to collect damages from the responsible party. The party may be liable under theories of negligence, statutory liability, strict liability, or contractual relationship. In addition to claims against the responsible party and their insurer who covers their responsibilities, you may also have a claim against your own insurance company for damages sustained.
These cases often require immediate investigation and development of the facts to establish liability and your right to collect damages. To fully develop your case before the evidence becomes “cold” it is highly advisable that you contact an attorney to determine exactly what investigation needs to be done on your case.
When you do call an attorney, be prepared to answer the following questions so the attorney can give you their best input:
- The facts surrounding the cause of your injury;
- Your injuries;
- Name of health care providers and treatment given;
- Amount of monetary expenses such as medical bills, loss of earnings, damage to vehicles;
- Communications with parties and insurance companies;
- Are there photos of scene of injury, of objects involved and/or of your injuries;
- Are there incident/police reports documenting the facts of the incident and the identification of witnesses?
