What To Do After an Accident or Injury

The period of time following a serious accident or injury can be confusing and overwhelming. Most people simply don’t know what to do after being involved in car accidents or slip and falls.

While the exact steps to follow in the aftermath of an injury will vary, it is generally advisable to:

  • Call 911 if you or anyone else was seriously injured, there was a car accident, or possible illegal activity was at play.
  • Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Never wait to see if an injury gets better before you see a doctor.
  • Take pictures and videos of the place where the injury occurred.
  • Make copies of important documents and keep them in a safe place.
  • Don’t give a recorded statement to the insurance company—it could be used against you later.
  • Speak with a personal injury attorney to learn about your legal right to recover compensation.

Don’t worry if you aren’t able to complete all of the above steps. Forgetting to take pictures or waiting to go to the doctor will not disqualify you from seeking monetary compensation for your damages.

When you have the backing of attorneys with the right legal experience, small hurdles will not prevent you from recovering compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company.

Who Pays for My Injury?

If you are in physical pain, watching your medical bills grow, and can’t work because of another person’s negligence, you deserve to be fully and fairly compensated for your losses. But who pays?

In most situations, the at-fault party’s insurance company is liable for the costs you incur as a result of your injury. Matters of liability can be straightforward in certain personal injury claims, while others present a more unique challenge.

For example, in a car accident, it is often quite easy to identify the driver who was responsible for the collision. However, there may be more than one liable party in complicated cases, such as those involving dog bites and defective products.

When Do I Need To Speak With a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Were you or a loved one injured in Fayetteville? Anyone who has suffered a serious or life-altering injury in Arkansas needs to know when it’s time to get in touch with a personal injury attorney.

So when should you speak with a lawyer? That depends on the unique factors of your situation.

A minor car accident involving little physical harm and minor car damage is unlikely to benefit from legal guidance. The stakes are low and unlikely to encounter much resistance from the insurance company.

However, anything more complex means that there is more money on the line—and more compensation that you could potentially miss out on.

At McMath Woods P.A., we recommend talking with a personal injury attorney when:

You Have Serious Injuries

If you suffered serious harm in an accident, you could need weeks, months, or even years of recovery time. Depending on the situation, an injured victim may be facing a lifetime of chronic pain and ongoing medical care.

The personal injury attorneys at our Arkansas law office are prepared to help clients secure funds related to a variety of severe and traumatic injuries, including:

  • Broken and fractured bones
  • Head injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Crush injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Amputation
  • Burns

You Have Significant Financial Losses

The cost of health care in Fayetteville is far from cheap, and medical expenses can rapidly outpace earnings and savings. If you’ve experienced steep financial losses since your accident, don’t risk waiting to see what the insurance company is willing to offer you.

You Can’t Work

Depending on your financial situation, even just one or two days of missed work can have a profoundly negative impact on your financial stability. If an accident or injury has left you unable to work for any amount of time, don’t wait to speak with an attorney about your legal options.

The sooner we begin working on your claim, the sooner we can help you recover the compensation you need to replace your lost wages.

The Insurance Company Isn’t Cooperating

Don’t be fooled by empty words and promises; the insurance company is not your friend. As large, profit-minded corporations, most insurers are more concerned with their own bottom line than they are about helping those who have been harmed by a policyholder.

Our Fayetteville personal injury lawyers are familiar with all the tricks and tactics that insurers use to bully victims into accepting settlements that are far lower than what they deserve.

We won’t let you be pushed around or feel forced to accept an offer that doesn’t fully address your losses.

We’ll handle all negotiations and contact with the insurance company on your behalf. When necessary, we aren’t afraid to take a case to court to ensure that no compensation is left on the table.

Personal Injury Claims We Handle

At McMath Woods P.A., we have experience handling a wide range of personal injury lawsuits, including those involving the following practice areas:

The Benefits of Working With Fayetteville Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal injury cases can be deceptively difficult. An attorney will have the necessary legal background, knowledge, and experience needed to successfully navigate an insurance claim involving injuries and financial losses.

When you choose to work with a lawyer, you’ll have the backing of a legal representative who can:

  • Investigate your claim and assign liability.
  • Evaluate medical bills, missed paychecks, and other financial losses to correctly determine the worth of your claim.
  • Speak with eyewitnesses and record their statements.
  • Secure expert testimony from health care professionals and other experts.
