Steps to Get The Most From Your Car Accident Settlement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other driver was clearly at fault in the car crash that left you seriously injured, but that doesn\u2019t mean his insurance company will offer you the maximum value of their policyholder\u2019s coverage. In their efforts to remain profitable, they will do all they can to limit the amount they offer. There are some steps you can take, however, that will help you make a strong argument for maximum compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to realize is that you can only collect as much as the at-fault driver\u2019s policy is worth. If, for example, he only meets Indiana\u2019s minimum insurance requirement of $25,000 in bodily injury coverage, then $25,000 is the most you can get from him, even if your injuries exceed that. However, you want to do everything you can to make sure you get the full policy limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Collect evidence. <\/strong>Taking pictures at the scene of the crash and collecting contact information for witnesses, if you are physically able to do so, is the first step in building a strong claim. This evidence will be invaluable for demonstrating to the insurance company that their driver was at fault and that you can prove it to a judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get medical treatment. <\/strong>Even if you don\u2019t feel seriously injured right after the crash, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Be sure to tell her about the accident and ask for a full assessment of your injuries. Take pictures of your injuries and keep track of all of your appointments so that you can later request complete medical records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Call an attorney. <\/strong>Talking to a car accident attorney in a free consultation is the best way to make sure you\u2019re doing everything you can to protect your legal rights and build the strongest possible claim. If you decide your claim can benefit from legal guidance, your attorney will take over, and you can focus on your physical recovery. Best of all, you won\u2019t have to pay the attorney until he successfully resolves your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
