Insurance

Being injured in an automobile accident is a trying experience. Your car sustains damage, your body sustains damage, and your life becomes hassled with having to deal with both. If the accident was not your fault, you have the right to instigate a personal injury case to reimburse your costs of auto damage, bodily damage care, and pain and suffering. The costs of medical treatment such as with a pain center would need to be reimbursed as well.

Sometimes it is prudent to retain the services of an attorney after an auto accident turns into a personal injury case.

If the insurance company is not returning your calls, the question is why?

If the insurance company is not agreeing to accept responsibility on behalf of their insured, is offering a low reimbursement amount for your medical care, is not offering any amount of payment for pain and suffering, is valuing your vehicle too low, etc. When it becomes clear that the insurance company is not going to work with you in a fair and reasonable manner, it is time to retain the services of a specialist who can fight your battle for you.

How do I know how to choose a good attorney?

One thing you can do is choose a pain management center with an experienced legal person on staff. Or they may deal with personal injury cases regularly and know attorneys in the area. For instance, the pain center may deal with lots of personal injury attorneys and be able to provide a list for you along with setting up interviews. If the pain center has been working with attorneys in the area on many cases, they will know who are the highly chosen experts in the personal injury field.

Important considerations are a track record of calling back clients (existing or potential), working with you to obtain the best possible medical care, and working with you at the end of the case to make sure your settlement is appropriate. Having an attorney who limits your settlement to boost his practice's bottom line on the case is simply not fair.
