Mistakes to Avoid
When you've been in an accident, you're often at your most vulnerable at precisely the time you need to be thinking clearly.
Smiley Law New York car accident injury lawyers urge you to retain counsel as soon as possible. A good car accident injury lawyer will help you avoid these common mistakes:
- Be careful when speaking to insurance adjusters or investigators. Most insurance companies are reputable, but it's their job to try to collect information that could help them minimize monetary settlements in your case. If you are visited in the hospital or contacted at any time by an insurance company representative, try to refer any questions to your car accident injury lawyer.
- Smiley Law New York car accident injury lawyers remind you that medical records are admissible as evidence in your case. When speaking to doctors or other healthcare practitioners, tell them about your physical symptoms, but avoid speculating about the nature or severity of your injuries.
- Don't wait to gather contact information and/or statements from witnesses to your accident. Witnesses are always at their most effective when your accident is fresh in their minds.
- Be very suspicious of anyone who tells you that you don't need an attorney. You need to retain a professional car accident injury lawyer immediately if you hope to receive a fair monetary award for your injuries
