How To Negotiate With Insurance Adjusters

If you have been involved in an accident caused by someone’s negligence, you may find yourself negotiating with an insurance adjuster. If you experienced personal injuries in the accident, it is important to understand what adjusters do.

Insurance adjusters are tasked with investigating and settling injury cases. For example, if they are assigned a car accident case, they will investigate to see who was at fault, and then will negotiate with the injury victim, or his attorney, a resolution.

Settlement For Injured Worker Who Sustained A Concussion

Recently our workers compensation attorneys were able to settle a case for a client who sustained a work injury. Our client was injured while working. He was throwing out some items into a dumpster when the top of the dumpster struck our client in the head. He suffered personal injuries as a result of this incident.

He required medical attention and he would be diagnosed with a concussion. Our client was unable to go to work and the workers comp insurance company began paying his medical bills as well as his lost wages.

Settlement For Client With Ankle Injury

Recently the Earley Law Group Injury Lawyers was able to secure a settlement for a client who was injured at a bar. While walking down a ramp in the bar, her ankle rolled off the ramp. She did not slip and fall, or trip and fall.

We filed a lawsuit against the bar that leased the space where this occurred, as well as the property owner. We hired an expert engineer that wrote a report that said the ramp was dangerous because it was an unsafe elevation change. We also hired a medical doctor who found our client sustained permanent personal injuries due to this incident.

Time Limits On Filing A Boston Car Accident Claim

For many people involved in an auto accident, and who suffer personal injuries in the accident, they want to know about filing deadlines.  This is an important consideration because if certain deadlines are not met, a claim can be time-based.  Here are the time limits on filing a Boston car accident claim.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.  This is called the statute of limitations.  You can file a claim at anytime prior to this three-year mark, but if you do not, and if you, or your car accident lawyer does not within this time period, you will forever be time-barred.  This is a firm deadline with no exceptions.

Reasons Why A Boston Car Accident Case Goes To Trial 

Many people who get injured in a car accident in Boston want to settle the claim, collect what they are owed, and move on with their lives.  Unfortunately, insurance companies oftentimes make low-ball settlement offers which forces people to take their case to trial. Here are some reasons why a Boston car accident case goes to trial.

Sometimes, the insurance company flat-out denies a claim. They may feel liability is not clear against the driver they insure.  In that case, you can either accept the denial, or fight it.  The way to do that is to file a lawsuit.  If after the discovery process concludes there is still not an offer, then you or your Boston car accident lawyer must try the case in front of a judge and jury.

Boston Car Accident Attorney Case Expenses

If you have a car accident and hire an attorney, he will only get paid if the case settles. This is called a contingency fee.  Also, he will advance all case expenses.  If the case ends up settling, the attorney will take his fee from the settlement, as well as any costs he incurred during the case.

Some of those expenses are the cost of obtaining medical records and medical bills.  This is usually a minimal expense, assuming the records are not very long.

When A Lawyer Contacts You After A Car Accident 

There is frequently a lot going on after a car accident. You may be injured and getting medical treatment, and you may be contacted by an insurance company either through mail, phone, or both. You may also be contacted by a car accident lawyer following a crash.  When a lawyer contacts you after a car accident, you should be very skeptical.

The reason the lawyer contacted you, and the reason he knew about your crash is because he, or someone from his office, went to the local police station. There he viewed recent police reports and came across your name.

The Cost Of Hiring A Car Accident Lawyer In Boston

People oftentimes associate lawyers as charging very high fees for their services. While many types of legal services can be expensive, that is not the case with personal injury legal services.  Specifically, the cost of hiring a car accident lawyer in Boston is actually free.

That means you don’t have to worry about paying any upfront fees at the beginning of the case. Additionally, the car accident lawyer will advance all necessary expenses during the case. These costs generally are the costs of obtaining medical records and medical bills, the filing of a lawsuit, depositions, etc.
