If someone else’s negligent actions injure you, you deserve compensation for your damages. However, there are some key milestones to hit on the road from injury to payment.  The Law Offices of Adrian L. Falgione, LLC in Lexington, SC,  and attorney Adrian L. Falgione as an experienced personal injury attorney would like to share the following tips that may help you pursue your claims effectively.

3 Tips From a Personal Injury Attorney for Injury Claims

1. Obtain Medical Attention

Whether you are involved in a motorcycle, truck, or car accident or you slip and fall due to an unsafe condition, seek medical care immediately if you are injured. Contact your doctor, ask someone to call an ambulance, or go to an emergency room for a thorough examination and assessment of your injuries. Even if injuries are not immediately visible, internal bleeding or damage to organs or bones are possible. Receiving appropriate medical treatment soon after an accident protects your health and helps your attorney prove your damages to the insurance companies.  Many people hesitate to do so because they do not have health insurance only to be plagued by preventable continuing pain and suffering.

2. Call the Police 

When a collision or other activity that violates the law occurs, contact the police and remain at the scene until they arrive. If others flee, take notes of their appearance, which way they went, and how they left, such as on foot or in a vehicle. Ask the officers to make an on-site report and get a copy of the report.

3. Contact a Personal Injury Attorney

Individuals pursuing personal injury claims without an attorney often shortchange themselves. Insurance companies tend to offer more money to injured individuals with lawyers than they offer to filers without legal representation. Personal injury attorneys usually take cases on a contingent fee basis, so they only receive attorney fees if they obtain money for their clients.
