When an accident happens which results in injury there is always the injured party and a negligent party. In the majority of cases the person that sustained the injury is completely exonerated from any blame while in some cases blame can be apportioned. Any personal injury case will include an insurance company and their legal staff this is precisely why you too need to be represented by your Grayslake personal injury attorneys.
Insurance companies have a well founded reputation of doing everything they can to limit compensation payments, to do this they demand plenty of supporting documentation. The insurance company will not move unless they have statements from witnesses; the police report, photos taken from the scene, complete medical reports, copies of all medical expenses paid by the injured party and the details of any other insurance company that may be involved. Personal injury attorneys deal with this every day and are fully aware of the demands and equally important; they understand the thinking of the adjusters.
It requires a lot more than you simply telling the insurance company that represents the negligent party that you were injured and the injury has made working impossibility; but, you didn’t bother to see a doctor. If you cannot provide written support of your claim you can forget about ever winning compensation, the insurance company will simply refuse to even acknowledge a claim. Should a case of this nature end up in court a seasoned personal injury attorney may be able to explain to a judge the client’s reluctance to see a doctor. Regardless of how skilled your attorney may be, trying to get the insurance company to agree to accept mitigating circumstances will prove fruitless.
If you are injured it is mandatory that you see a doctor. The doctor of course will treat your injuries and alleviate your pain but the doctor will also record details of the injury and the treatment you received. This is the kind of support data that an insurance company responds to. If the doctor calls for follow up appointments make sure you meet them, if you neglect to follow the doctor’s instructions the insurance adjuster will take this as evidence that the injuries and pain you claim are not as bad as your say. Grayslake personal injury attorneys will be able to assess with some degree of accuracy what the insurance company will pay for pain and suffering and will fight for every dollar.
