Serious Personal Injury and Accident
If you or a loved one suffers serious injuries in any type of accident in the Houston area, you will need to retain the services of a professional personal injury lawyer. If you do not understand your rights, then you run the risk of being precluded from recovering for the harms and losses you have sustained. For instance, when negotiating with the insurance company you must keep in mind the statute of limitations, which is two years for most personal injury cases.
When seriously injured, you should not attempt the do-it-yourself approach to handling your claim. Despite being presented with everything needed to make a determination, insurance companies typically out of being unreasonably suspicious will disagree with you over the cost of medical treatment until you have no other choice but to hire an attorney to protect your rights. The principle--you should not have been injured by their insured. Because you were, they will want to play a variety of wonderful fun-filled games with you until you just give in and take what they are willing to pay you. For instance, one such game is that initially, they will move quickly to offer you a settlement if the insurance company before you secure an attorney. While this sounds great, the amount they will initially offer you will not. Insurance companies typically never agree to pay for the full amount of damages suffered. In addition, the settlement they will be prepared to offer you will only cover some of the damages and injuries caused by the accident; the rest will be left for you to pay out of pocket. They know that by offering you an early settlement, cash settlement or any other type of settlement before you talk to your lawyer, they will not have to pay the full amount of the damages.
When settling a personal injury case, once you accept an offer you cannot turn around to get more money if you realize that it will not cover the extent of the damages. Sometimes the personal injury is more injured than they themselves would like to admit. After entering into a quick settlement, they preclude themselves from recovering the full amount of money necessary to cover the treatment they actually should have received. In some cases, this can lead to an impairment of their ability to work. The law provides the ability to fully recover from your injury when someone physically harms you. You need that money to pay your past and future medical bills, lost wages and, in some instance, lifetime treatment to piece your life back together after a serious personal injury. Do not let the insurance company trick you out the full treatment you not only deserve, that but you need.
