What You Do Not Know About Personal Injury Claims

April 28, 2017 by Adam Page

The Importance of Understanding Personal Injury Claims

Filing a claim for fair treatment after the negligence of another person or business has caused you harm is a frustrating task, even though Florida laws clearly state the rights of injured victims. Unfortunately, so little is known about personal injury law, and so much is misunderstood that people seeking fair compensation can be quickly overwhelmed and mistreated. Consulting with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Orlando may help you to overstep these common misconceptions that lead to failed claims.    

Relying on the Insurance Company

 

Following a negligence related injury, many people blindly accept the direction of Personal Injury lawyer Orlandothe insurance company, allowing themselves to be misled and encouraged to accept a minimal payment. Medical costs can be difficult to accurately assess, especially when treatment becomes an ongoing and long term problem. By the time you seek counsel from an Orlando personal injury attorney, it may be too late.

Adjusters, investigators, and attorneys representing your insurance company are looking out for the best interests of the insurer, not you. Insurance companies train their employees to be experts in personal injury, so they can quickly navigate through complex legal difficulties and use any possible means to deny a monetary payout. You should contact an Orlando personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that your interests are being properly protected.

Waiting to Hire an Orlando Accident Attorney

Most personal injury claims in the state of Florida have a 4-year Statute of Limitations. Additionally, the more time that passes as you struggle with the confusion of your insurance company, the more evidence disappears that may have been crucial to your case. In the best cases, many personal injury claims can be settled quickly out of court. However, if you wait too long before contacting a qualified personal injury lawyer to overview our claim, gather substantial evidence, and prepare a solid case for the maximum fair compensation, you may miss out on valuable opportunities that can costs you thousands of dollars or more.     

Avoiding the Stigma of Lawsuits

When facing the possibility of a lawsuit, particularly involving a claim for pain and suffering, many people feel reticent to fight for a truly fair payout. Social stigma and media hype about “frivolous” lawsuits encourage the idea that only greedy people demand personal injury payments, and that negligent parties are merely business owners and everyday citizens being unfairly punished. This mindset is simply untrue. Hiring a personal injury attorney is not about gaining easy money; it is about the fair and legal reciprocation of medical costs, missed wages, and suffering that cannot be undone.    

Most personal injury claims are not made directly against a driver or business owner but rather against the high dollar insurance company that protects these people from liability claims. Liability insurance protects both parties from the debilitating costs of personal injury claims. In reaching a settlement with assistance from an Orlando personal injury attorney, you can receive proper care and negligent parties are forced to recognize and correct wrongful behavior.
