When an individual has been in an any type of accident, they have a lot of things going through their head. Dealing with injuries, property damage and handling an insurance claim. On top of everything going on they are trying their best to make these decisions while dealing with emotional turmoil and stress.
A Nashville personal injury lawyer can help deal with the process of the claim, freeing up time to deal with injuries and reducing the overall stress level. The following information can help decide if hiring an attorney is the right choice or not. This information does not take the place of professional legal advice, this is only a guide to help make an informed decision. It is recommended to seek the advice of qualified Nashville attorneys.
Property Damage – One of the biggest losses after an accident is the loss of property. A car, home or other property may be severely damaged or even considered a total loss. It is typically up to the insurance company to deem a property a total loss or pay for repairs. The party at fault will seek reimbursement through their own insurance policy, if an individual is not a fault they will then typically seek reimbursement through the other insurer. Regardless of which company a person is seeking payment from, they might find that the insurance company’s initial claim offer is insufficient to cover losses. If they do not have the time or knowledge to pursue a more substantial claim, the individual may need the services of an attorney in Nashville to ensure they are fully compensated.
Personal Injury – If an individual is injured due to an accident, they will need to get proper medical care right away. If there is a delay, it can be harder to prove injuries resulted from the actual accident in question. The payment for medical care will vary by policy, if the individual is at fault. If they are not at fault, then compensation for medical bills usually go through the other insurer.
In addition, compensation may be pursued for the following:
* Medical payments coverage, if it’s included in the policy. * Uninsured motorist coverage, if it is included in the policy and the individual was hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver (or were in a hit and run accident). * The individual’s health insurance policy.
When a person may need a Nashville injury attorney:
As an accident victim pursues reimbursement, it is extremely common to get pushback on these various expenses. Insurance companies will try to avoid paying more than they absolutely need to pay and will thoroughly check just to make sure all of the expenses are legit. A person involved in an accident must keep all documentation and receipts regarding the accident. If they are having trouble getting reimbursed for medical bills, then they may want to seek the counsel of a personal injury attorney. Lawyers have much more experience than the average person when it comes to dealing with insurance providers and seek to get the highest possible settlement amount for their clients. A qualified and professional attorney also has the experience of getting compensation for general damages that are difficult to determine, such as:
* Pain and suffering * Mental anguish
Statute of Limitations – If an individual has been injured or has any type of personal or business property damage due to an accident, they must not wait to get the help that they need and deserve if the decision is made to call an attorney.
There is a limited amount of time under local, state and federal law to file a claim. This time limit is called the statute of limitations, and will vary by state.
