Should I See a Doctor Even If I Don’t Feel Hurt?
Yes. The impact from a car accident can cause hidden injuries that may not show symptoms immediately. It’s critical to consult a doctor soon after the accident, even if you don’t feel badly hurt. Then, reach out to The Paris Firm’s experienced Corona car accident attorneys to discuss your case.
What Injuries Should I Be Aware Of?
Many car accident injuries might not appear right away. Pay attention to the following:
- Brain injury symptoms: dizziness, confusion, fatigue, mood changes, memory loss
- Spine injury symptoms: back pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, pain that radiates
These symptoms can worsen over time, so it’s essential to stay vigilant even if they don’t appear immediately.
Does My Insurance Company Have My Best Interests in Mind?
Insurance companies are bound by certain obligations, but they are also motivated to minimize payouts. Their goal is to protect their bottom line, which can sometimes conflict with your needs. While they may seem helpful, they might undervalue your claim, and you should proceed with caution.
Do I Need a Lawyer to Handle My Car Accident Claim?
If you’ve suffered injuries or incurred medical costs, it’s advisable to consult with an attorney. The Paris Firm offers free consultations, so there’s no risk in talking to us about your case. If you don’t need legal help, we’ll let you know, but it’s better to seek guidance and avoid potential future issues.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer About My Auto Accident?
You should reach out to an attorney when:
- You have been diagnosed with injuries and a treatment plan
- You’ve received a settlement offer from your insurer
- You feel pressured for statements or are encountering delays in processing your claim
- You are feeling overwhelmed with the details of the accident
Should I Accept an Offer from My Insurance Company?
Insurance companies often make initial offers that are lower than what your claim is worth. Even if the offer seems large, it might not cover long-term medical costs or lost wages. Before accepting any offer, consult with us to make sure you’re receiving fair compensation.
