What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

If someone else – an individual, a business, or an agency – acts carelessly or fails to act, and it results in an accident that hurts you, you may have the right to seek compensation in a personal injury claim in North Carolina. The insurance company that covered the at-fault party is typically responsible for paying a valid claim. Although the personal injury attorneys at Warren & Kallianos are always prepared to take a case to trial, most claims are settled during out-of-court settlement negotiations.

If an insurance company or other responsible party cannot be persuaded to make a reasonable settlement offer, Jeff and Chris stand ready to deliver aggressive client advocacy in court.

You are likely facing one of life’s greatest challenges during the days, weeks, and months following an accident that causes serious personal injuries. The attorneys at Warren & Kallianos want to shoulder as much of your burden as we can during this difficult time. We are ready to take care of the legal issues while you concentrate on healing, caring for your family, and putting your life back together.

  • Making all necessary filings and handling other actions with the courts and government agencies related to your personal injury, including ensuring that no deadlines are missed, and all paperwork is filled out properly.

  • Resolving any outstanding liens on your monetary compensation to maximize the amount you take home.

How Long Does a Personal Injury Claim Take?

Most people understand that they have the right to sue if someone else’s negligent actions cause them to suffer an injury. Here are some of the factors involved in pursuing a personal injury claim:

  1. Choose the right lawyer.Your first step in pursuing a personal injury case is to hire a lawyer who has experience, a good record of results, good reviews from past clients, and someone you feel comfortable working with.
  2. Obtain medical treatment.How well you recover from your accident injuries will have a bearing on how the injury has impacted your quality of life and your earning capacity. Your attorney will assess your current medical expenses and what they could be in the future.
  3. Investigate the accident.Your lawyer will investigate your accident, collect evidence, consult with experts, and develop a strategy for representing your case.
  4. Negotiate a settlement.Your lawyer will begin negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company with a demand letter. The insurance company can either agree to the demand, or they can challenge it and engage in extended negotiations until both sides agree, or until negotiations break down.
  5. Go to trial.If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, the case will go to trial where the jury may decide liability and the amount of damages.
  6. Collect and distribute the award.If your health insurance company covered your accident-related medical bills, the insurer may assert the right to recover what the insurance company spent from the settlement or verdict amount.

How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?

When we take on your car accident claim, we will thoroughly document your injuries and consult with a variety of specialists to determine how this crash will affect your life into the future. In the near term, you may be concerned about immediate doctor’s bills and missing work, but it’s important to take a long view on what you may be facing.

Some of the factors our attorneys will consider when evaluating what types of car accident compensation to request on your behalf might include:

Medical bills: You may already have an idea of the medical bills you have received so far. But it is important to keep in mind the bills that have yet to come, as well as what treatment you may need in the future. Do you expect to need physical or occupational therapy? Will you have ongoing bills for medications? Did your doctor order special medical assistive devices, such as a walker or wheelchair? Will you need to make modifications to your home to accommodate your injury?

  • Property damage: Depending on the severity of the crash, you may need to have your vehicle repaired or replaced. While you are waiting for that to happen, will you incur rental car expenses? And if your vehicle must be fixed rather than replaced, how will the crash history reduce your car’s resale value in the future?
  • Lost income: If you had to miss time from work after your accident, you may already be feeling the pinch in your bank account. Even if you were able to use sick or vacation days to cover that missed time, you may be able to recoup that lost income. Looking ahead, do you expect to be able to go back to the same job you had before, or will you face limitations that necessitate a lower-paying job? Will you be able to work at all?
  • Inability to perform daily duties: If you have been seriously injured, you may have had to pay someone to do the chores you typically do. For example, did you have to hire someone to do yard work, cleaning, or babysitting?
  • Effects on personal life: Sometimes after an accident, people are not able to participate in the activities they have always enjoyed. For example, are you missing vacations, birthday parties, or big family events due to your injury? Have you been forced to give up hobbies? Has the injury placed a burden on your relationship with your partner?
  • Pain and suffering: It can be difficult to imagine what price could be tied to a person’s pain and suffering. But it is a fact that physical, emotional, and psychological trauma take a costly toll on car accident victims.
  • Punitive damages: Although these are only awarded in extreme cases, punitive damages can be used to punish the at-fault party for intentional and severe misconduct.

Evaluating your losses after a car accident is much more complicated than adding up the bills in hand. However, an insurance company may try to persuade you to accept a car accident settlement offer before you really have a grasp of what your claim is worth.

Never sign something from the insurance company without having it reviewed by one of our experienced auto accident lawyers. In addition to having an in-depth understanding of how these insurance companies work, our dedicated attorneys can connect you with medical specialists and financial professionals who can review your case and determine what full and fair compensation should be.

What is The First Thing I Should Do After Being Injured?

Your priority after suffering a personal injury should be your health and your physical and emotional recovery. To have the best chance at a full recovery, it is important to seek medical help as soon as possible after the accident. If you don’t receive emergency medical treatment on the scene and you aren’t transported to a hospital, you should still seek treatment at an urgent care center, an emergency room, or at your doctor’s office as soon as you can.

There are many kinds of potentially serious injuries that may not be immediately apparent after an accident. Also, the rush of adrenaline from the shock of an accident may mask pain and other symptoms of a personal injury. Some “silent” injuries may cause long-term impairment or even death if they are not diagnosed and treated promptly. Be sure to seek treatment and tell the doctor exactly what happened and all your symptoms. This is no time to play it tough or keep a stiff upper lip.

As you recover from your injuries, carefully follow the medical advice you receive. Follow through with recommended treatments by specialists. Be sure to take medications as prescribed, go to any appointments, and take part in physical therapy as prescribed. If you are unable to make it to an appointment because you are in too much pain from your injury, be sure to tell that to the office when you call to cancel.
