If you are injured due to someone else’s negligence, a personal injury claim can help you recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We understand how daunting the process looks at Najla Law Firm, and that is why we have created this guide to walk you through the steps of filing a personal injury claim in the US.
1. Get Medical Care
Your health comes first. Obtain immediate medical treatment, even if your injuries are minor. Medical reports will become key evidence in your claim.
2. Report the Accident
Collect as much evidence as possible. Photograph the accident site, your injuries, and damage to property. Obtain witness contact details and report the accident to the police if necessary.
3. Inform the Party at Fault
Inform the offending party or their insurer of your intention to claim. Handle insurers with great care as they will try to restrict your pay-out.
4. Employ a Personal Injury Solicitor
It is important that you have a good personal injury attorney who will walk you through the process. We have expertise at Najla Law Firm handling insurance companies and developing strong cases to help you receive the best out of compensation.
5. File the Claim
Your attorney will assist you in filing and drafting the appropriate forms with the insurance company. Forms may be a letter of demand of your damages, injury, and amount of money you demand.
6. Settlement Negotiation
Personal injury claims settle about half the time. Your attorney will negotiate with you to achieve a good offer. If the claim is not settled, it will be tried.
7. Litigation (If Applicable)
If your insurance provider refuses to offer you a fair settlement, your lawyer will present your case in court to advocate on your behalf for what you deserve.
