How to Seek Compensation
for the Harm You’ve Suffered
When you are injured in an accident or other incident, there are steps you can take to protect your rights and ensure that you can receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
-
Take photosFirst, you should try to take photographs of the accident scene, if at all possible, as soon as possible after your accident. Photographic evidence may be critical to proving what exactly caused your injuries and who may have been responsible for the accident (and how they caused the accident).
-
Seek medical attentionNext, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t feel like you were badly injured, many injuries can develop worsening symptoms over time. Prompt medical attention can not only improve your prognosis for recovery and your recovery time, but it will also give you medical evidence to prove that your injuries were caused by your accident and not from some other cause.
-
Decline to speak with insuranceFollowing an accident or other incident that causes injuries, you may be contacted by insurance companies looking to offer you a settlement. You can protect yourself by declining to offer a statement or to sign any paperwork without first speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney. Insurance companies are not on your side; they will look for any opportunity to reduce the amount of money they have to pay to you, including seizing on any statements you make to argue that you bear some or all of the responsibility for the accident or incident that caused your injuries.
-
Contact an attorneyAs a result, you can best protect your legal rights and options for compensation by retaining an experienced personal injury attorney to represent you. An attorney can speak to insurance companies and defense attorneys on your behalf to persuasively advocate for your rights and interests.
Personal Injury
Compensation
If you have suffered personal injuries, you may be entitled to various types of damages to compensate you for the losses caused by your injuries. Personal injury compensation can compensate you for economic damages, which are specific financial losses, or for non-economic damages, which are subjective personal harm that you may have suffered.
If you or a loved one have been injured due to someone else’s intentional acts or negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the medical expenses you’ve incurred, your lost wages and earning potential, and the pain and suffering you’ve endured. Don’t delay starting the process of obtaining the compensation you deserve another day.
Economic damage
examples
-
hospital bills
-
surgery
-
doctor’s office visits

-
Reduced earning capacity, if your injuries prevent you from returning to the kind or amount of work that you used to do prior to your injuries

Pain and suffering, or the physical and/or mental distress and anguish caused by your injuries

Loss of quality of life, caused by disability, disfigurement, and/or inability to perform daily tasks or enjoy activities you used to do before your injuries
