If a family member of yours was involved in a car accident and he or she was taken to a hospital, we would advise you on how to assist your family member with getting the best medical attention that he or she needs and also be thinking of the liability part of the case and formulating a plan to get someone to get all the evidence from the accident scene to preserve it for a possible future lawsuit. Basic issues in a Florida personal injury case.
The first thing to do is get medical attention. In most personal injury cases, you have anywhere from 2 years (wrongful death, medical malpractice) or 4 years (car accident, personal injury case, strict liability) or even more, to file a lawsuit. So, thinking of filing a lawsuit should not be your first concern.
The first thing you should do is to make sure you get the best possible medical attention. And right away. We have seen many cases where a client is involved in an accident, is not sure if he or she is hurt, continues on with his or her day, then gets busy with family and work, and before you know it, it is 7 or 10 days later. Then the client starts noticing that his or her back is not feeling the same and that he or she is really still hurting from the previous accident. So then, the client goes and seeks medical attention and then begins treatment or therapy. What this will do is cause a problem in resolving the client’s case down the road, because the defendant insurance company will use the “gap in treatment” as a negative when evaluating the client’s case, even though the client is seriously injured, the insurance company will try to argue that “so why did he or she wait to treat?” and will try to lower the value of the client’s potential claim. Thus, since we are not doctors and can’t always tell exactly what the injury is over the phone, we strongly advise all clients to go seek medical attention right away. As they say “it is better to be safe than sorry.”
The next thing you should do after you get medical attention is to speak to a lawyer. This may sound self-serving, but in all sincerity, it is not. It is in your best interest to speak to a personal injury lawyer right away. (The insurance companies send all of their potential claims to their legal departments right away) … why shouldn’t you protect yourself like they do? A personal injury lawyer will advise you of where to get the best medical attention, on how to preserve evidence; and a personal injury lawyer will hire investigators to work on your case, deal with the insurance adjusters, file the claims for you, file the medical paperwork for you if there is any, and speak to adjusters so that you don’t make any statement (innocent or otherwise) that may hurt your case…. and much more.
