Personal Injury Claim

I have been injured in a car accident because of another driver’s negligence. I am going to file a personal injury claim. I have read stories of people who have been denied claims. How do I file a successful personal injury claim? Are there any important things that I must remember while filing my claim?

Yes, to ensure a successful personal injury claim, you must avoid making any of the common mistakes people make. Here are some mistakes you should avoid:

Not calling the police: If you do not call the police, there will not be any formal investigation of the accident. Later on, if the negligent party or driver denies liability, you may have a difficult time proving your case.

Accepting and cashing property damage: Another common mistake is accepting and cashing a property damage check without first fixing the damages. It may be possible that the amount offered may end up being less than the amount it takes to fix the damage.

Not getting witness contact information: Without witnesses, an insurance adjuster may deny liability.

Giving recorded statements without hiring an attorney: Giving a recorded statement without the protection and guidance of legal representation can result in serious problems.

Not hiring a lawyer: If you do not hire a lawyer, the insurance adjusters may try to settle the value of your case at a very low amount.

  2. The other day, while my husband was driving back home in his newly bought car, the brake system malfunctioned and he ended up hitting a pillar. The incident left him with serious injuries. Can we sue the manufacturer of the defective vehicle and recover damages? Can anyone help us?
