    The Common Mistakes a Person Makes When Filing a Personal Injury Claim

    Alexander LoganBy Alexander LoganNovember 9, 2022No Comments3 Mins Read

    When filing for a personal injury claim, you should have enough evidence to show that the defendant was careless, which resulted in you getting hurt. Providing undeniable proof in front of a judge or jury will help you get the compensation you deserve. However, there are mistakes that could cost you compensation. Below are some things you should not do when filing a personal injury claim.

    Accepting the Defendant’s First Settlement Offer

    Avoid accepting the defendant’s first settlement offer, as you are likely being ripped off. In some cases, a person or a company will offer you a large settlement but will start counter-offering after you have accepted it. That is why you should not accept their offer and demand something more than what they offered. It is likely that the defendant’s first settlement offer is not worth your trouble, which is why you should consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to advise you on a worthy amount that you should demand from the defendant.

    Refusing To Seek the Assistance of an Attorney

    Even though you are the victim, you should always get help from an attorney in case you have a tough time proving your case. An attorney knows the law and can help you win your lawsuit and receive higher financial settlements. Remember, you are facing the defendant with their attorneys, who are willing to do anything to prove you wrong.

    Being Untruthful or Exaggerating Your Injuries

    If you exaggerate your injuries, there is a great chance that you may lose the trust of your attorney. And the judge or jury will realize that you are dishonest and dismiss the claim. You should also be careful about what you tell the doctor or the insurance company. Lying or exaggerating about your injuries will not help you get more compensation, and you can end up with nothing.

    Taking Too Long to File Your Claim

    If you fail to file your claim within the limited timeframe, by the time you file it, the court may not be willing to hear it, and it can get dismissed. Therefore, you need to file your case before the statute of limitations expires. In order to be safe, file your claim as soon as the accident happens.

    Not Going to a Medical Facility

    After an accident, your body may still be in shock, and you might not feel any pain. You can brush the idea of going to the hospital because you feel okay, only to realize later that you were badly injured. Ensure that you go to a medical facility for scanning and check-ups. If you are injured, follow all the doctor’s instructions and take the prescribed treatment. Consulting with a doctor will help you get the medical documents you need to present in court.

    You should also not provide recorded statements to insurance companies or expose your details on social media. Making such mistakes when filing a claim will prevent you from getting any compensation, as the defendant and insurance companies may use them against you.
