Three Personal Injury Claim Points of Consideration: Did You Know?

THE FIRST SETTLEMENT OFFER

1. The First Settlement Offer: Early offers are often much lower than what might actually be fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

FAILING TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION PROMPTLY

2. Failing to Seek Medical Attention Promptly: Not seeing a doctor immediately can be construed by insurance companies who want to argue that lapse in, or lack of, treatment suggests your injuries are not serious, or that they were not caused by the accident.

MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS

3. Mental Health Conditions: If you have received an offer before forcing the insurance company to assign value to the psychological or mental health aspects often caused by the injuries, traumas, isolation and loss associated with most injury claims, that could mean you have received an offer for less than what you might otherwise be entitled to.
