When you find yourself injured in an accident, your immediate responses can be driven by emotion. We understand that stressful situations can be overwhelming, but it is essential to keep cool to ensure you don’t damage your ability to collect compensation. Here are some tips for protecting your rights:
You need to get medical treatment and care for your injuries so that you are safe. Even if you think your injuries are minor, get checked out by your primary care physician because some serious injuries involve delayed symptoms. It is also important that you go to all of your appointments so that opposing parties cannot say that your injuries are less serious or that you do not require the care you claimed you did.
If possible, it is wise to gather evidence from the scene of the accident, such as taking pictures or getting contact information from others involved. If this is impossible due to a need for medical treatment, however, your lawyer can gather evidence for you.
You will likely receive a call from the insurance company soon after your accident. When this happens, do not give a recorded or written statement, and do not accept any payment without speaking to a lawyer. Insurance companies historically offer the lowest possible settlements to unsuspecting victims and even try to trick victims into making statements that damage their claim. Do not make these mistakes ─ redirect these calls to your lawyer.
It is never too early to call a lawyer. While you focus on your recovery, your lawyer can investigate the accident, gather evidence, and begin preparing your claim for compensation.
How you prove negligence will depend on the specifics of your case. Some common evidence that may be used includes:
When you make a claim for a personal injury, you are pursuing financial compensation, which is referred to as “damages.” Damages are separated into two different types:
The outcome of each personal injury claim will depend on its unique facts and circumstances. At Reaves Law Firm, PLLC, we will build your case and assess all possible damages that may be available to you. Some of the most common damages available in personal injury claims include:
The damages you are eligible to receive will vary depending on the details of your case. Please contact our personal injury attorneys in Memphis today to discuss your case in-depth during a free consultation.
The statute of limitations gives a time limit that you have to file a claim. Tennessee law provides that you only have one year from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. This is significantly shorter than many other states and requires that you act very quickly. If you go beyond the statute of limitations, you lose your ability to recover any compensation from your accident.
In addition to the state’s statute of limitations, some insurance carriers have even tighter timeframes for filing claims, so it is even more important that you talk to an attorney about your rights as soon as possible.
