What to do if ...You Are Injured in an Accident
- Hits: 310
At Stanley & Stanley, LLC, we have represented injured persons for nearly two decades, and we have obtained millions of dollars over the years in compensation for its clients' injuries. Personal injury law is one of our specialties.
We can help you not only recover your health, we can maximize your compensation for your injuries.
If you are injured due to the negligence of others you should:
- Follow your doctors' instructions to the letter; when you are injured, your recovery is most important. Also, documenting your recovery is also important.
- Keep a pain management diary - get a notebook and keep a daily diary of: how you feel, what your pain rating is on a scale of 1-10 (with "10" being the most severe), what you are able to do and what your injury prevents you from doing - You will need this as the claim progresses, as it will be an accurate recording of your progression. Some of these cases can take years to complete, depending on the complexity, so it is useful to keep a record that will keep your memory fresh.
- Keep all records and papers that you get for medical services provided to you;
- Keep all receipts of prescription costs, aspirin (and pain relief medications), as well as costs for medical equipment you may need to obtain;
- Keep your mileage that you travel to and from doctor's appointments, picking up your prescriptions and trips for physical therapy - this is compensable, and you will be surprised how this adds up;
- If the person who caused your injury is charged with a traffic and/or criminal offense, keep in mind the date of his/her trial date, as you will want to be present to testify as to what happened. Also, your personal injury attorney will want to order a court reporter to transcribe the proceedings at trial for later use in your proceedings;
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other side, that is, to insurance claims adjusters. They are only trying to take advantage of you and make you settle for a dollar figure that is much less then you deserve;
- Call us at 540-721-6028 and make an appointment for a free consultation. We will get you all the compensation that you deserve.
We will thoroughly investigate your claim for damages, collect your medical records for you, help you keep any creditors off of your back, consult with experts, advance costs on your behalf during the time that we expertly prepare your case for trial, and bring every legal force to bear in order to maximize your recovery. Because our fee is contingency based, our attorneys fee is only earned if you recover.
