If you have just been involved in auto accident or slip and fall incident, then your first thought should be to seek medical treatment. However, you may want to consider hiring a lawyer as soon as possible despite the fact it may not be your initial thought. After someone is involved in an accident, the negligent party and/or their insurance carrier will want to speak with you. Without representation, you may pigeon hole yourself into a settlement or release that is unfair. Remember, if they are calling you to discuss the claim, then they are anxious to resolve the case as quickly as possible in the best light for them.
If you have been injured, then you are hopefully receiving the medical treatment you need. However, you may wonder how your medical bills are going to be paid. If you have health insurance, then your insurance carrier may be entitled to a right of reimbursement from you if your injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence. That means they may want you to pay them back. Also, you may have out of pocket expenses for deductibles and medications. An experienced personal injury lawyer should be familiar with these circumstances and knows how to negotiate medical bills and work to obtain you a settlement or verdict.
