Do you know what to do if are suffering a Toledo, Ohio car accident injury?
Make sure to SEEK TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY.
What else do I need to do?
Here are the TOP 10 Steps to Take After an Accident: 1. Seek treatment immediately- The best thing you can do after an accident is to seek medical treatment immediately and follow your doctor's orders.
2. Don't rush to settle your claim - Don't settle your claim before you complete your medical treatment. A few thousand dollars may sound good until you realize it doesn't come close to compensating you for your injuries.
3. Don't underestimate the insurance adjuster - Insurance adjusters have a huge advantage over you because they settle claims every day. You need a lawyer to help deal with them.
4. Don't provide a statement to the adjuster - Don't make any statements about your case until you consult with a lawyer.
5. Don't sign medical authorization forms - Don't sign authorization forms that allow an insurance company access to your private medical records. Only sign forms completed by your lawyer.
6. Document everything - Start a file for all police, medical, and insurance documents related to your case.
7. Honesty is the best policy - Be honest about your injuries. Nothing will kill your claim faster than being caught in a lie.
8. Don't hide information from your lawyer - Your lawyer needs to know the good, the bad, and the ugly about your case to properly represent you.
9. Don't exaggerate your injuries - Exaggerating the extent of your injuries could come back to haunt you if the insurance company films you participating in an activity you shouldn't be able to do.
10. Hire a personal injury lawyer - Insurance companies employ professionals who deal with personal injury cases every day. Shouldn't you?
