Being in
an accident is always a difficult time for the victims and their
families. Not only does it take a toll on the physical, mental and
emotional well-being of everyone involved, but it also strains to the
limit everyone’s financial resources. As much as you’d like to
avoid any more stressors that could impede your recovery from the
accident, you need to deal with doctors, insurance companies, your
employer, and even the person (or people) who will be held
accountable for your accident. A
personal injury lawyer can help take over these tasks and
represent your claim.
However,
before your lawyer can build your case, he or she must first assess
your claim by asking questions about the accident.
-
Nature of the Accident
This is
the most crucial information you need to provide so it is important
to be as detailed as possible. Tell the lawyer everything you
remember including the location, cause of accident, how it occurred,
who you believe is responsible and the severity of your injuries.
-
Medical Treatment Information
Your
lawyer would also need to know all the individuals involved in your
treatment, as well as their contact information. Additionally, your
medical expenses and insurance details might also be required.
-
Employer and Income
You would
also need to supply your lawyer with information about your employer
and your income both before and after the injury.
Once your
lawyer finishes with assessing your claim, he or she can tell you if
your case is worth pursuing or not. His decision will come in handy
if you want to avoid losing more than you already have.
