How to Get Maximum Compensation for Your Accident
Being in a car wreck is stressful. Along with the shock of the incident, you’re likely also thinking about navigating the insurance process and receiving compensation for any damages or injuries you sustained.
Here are a few things to remember if you’ve been in a wreck.
Document Everything
Even if you’re only feeling minor pain or discomfort, you should seek medical attention after an accident. Shock and adrenaline may mask more serious injuries. A professional medical examination will determine if you need additional treatment.
It also creates a clear document trail for your claim. If you don’t go to a doctor and then later have more complicated issues, it may be difficult to receive payment from an insurance company that will question why you delayed care.
You’ll also want to ensure you have all evidence from the incident. This can include images, footage, and eyewitness reports. These pieces can help put together what happened and who’s liable for damages.
Know What Your Case Is Worth
Damages in car accident cases go beyond vehicle damage and medical bills.
You may have lost wages due to time away from work for medical treatment or repairs. There are also intangible factors, like stress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. While these may be difficult to put a price on, they’re an important part of your relief.
