After an accident, your priority should always be your health and safety. Below, we’ll go through some steps you can take to protect your health and preserve your right to compensation.
Whether you are treated at a local emergency room or waiting to see your primary care physician, getting medical attention is one of the most important things you can do after an injury. Proper diagnosis and a treatment plan can significantly impact your chances of a full recovery. Your medical records can also serve as key evidence for your personal injury claim.
Police officers from the Haverford Township Police Department will help secure the accident scene so that both you and anyone in the surrounding area are kept safe. They should also write a police report which can be helpful for your case.
If possible, take photographs of the accident scene and of your visible injuries. This is time-stamped evidence for your claim. This can also helps establish the impact of these injuries and losses on your life.
After your injury, an insurance adjuster may try to speak to you about the accident. Having your attorney present can ensure that your legal rights are protected during any questioning.
If you are unable to have your lawyer present, try to avoid apologizing or taking blame for the accident, as your words may be used against you. Answer questions directly and say you don’t remember if you are unsure of anything.
One of the key laws to understand when pursuing a personal injury claim is the statute of limitations and how it affects your case. Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), victims generally have two years to pursue a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
Typically, this countdown begins on the day of the accident. However, there are exceptions, and an attorney can discuss the expected timeline in more detail when reviewing the facts of a case.
Injury victims who do not file their suits within the deadline could miss the chance of recovering compensation. This means it’s important to start on your case as soon as possible. Contact Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, today to get started right away.
When dealing with medical bills and other financial losses, you may be worried about taking on any additional costs. At Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, we want injury victims to be able to access legal representation no matter their financial circumstances. Our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis.
Under this fee system, you pay no upfront costs. Instead, you only pay us if we recover compensation. At the point you receive a settlement, our fee is taken as a percentage of your compensation.
After an injury, it’s important to focus on your recovery. You may have a changed future ahead of you, but that doesn’t mean you can’t regain control of your life. Our lawyers are here to seek the fair compensation you need to pay off medical bills, account for your losses, and help you on your path toward healing.
