How-To Help Your Attorney Get a Fair Settlement
How to help your lawyer get a fair settlement
Developing a persuasive case requires your help. His first job is to recover from his injury, but his other important duties are;
01
MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY
Do not discuss your case with anyone other than family members. Never discuss your claim with potential witnesses, claims adjusters, or neighbors. Your statements can be misconstrued and used against you.
02
SECURE IMPORTANT RECORDS
Keep these items in a separate folder in a safe place:
In Florida, car accident lawsuits primarily arise under the laws of negligence. Santiago The Ruskin and Tampa Area Personal Injury Lawyer will discuss later, establishing liability under the laws of negligence requires proving that the defendant owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that breach actually caused the resulting harm. Breach of the duty of care can occur in any of the following ways:
- Correspondence and documents from your attorneys
- Copies and a list of all prescription and medical bills
- A record of lost wages or income
- A list of all witnesses.
- All the pill bottles
- A copy of any pain diary you keep
- A list of all relevant photos and where they are stored
03
LOST INCOME TRACKING
Keep a separate record of all time lost from work or any lost income, your attorney will compare your list with the lost wages statement obtained from your employer.
04
COPY MEDICAL BILLS
Send copies of all your medical bills to your attorney no matter who pays your attorney. The same goes for prescription drug receipts, keep your own list of these bills and receipts.
05
TAKE PHOTOS OF INJURIES
If you have visible medical injuries, take pictures of them every week or so while they heal. These photos will be important and persuasive evidence.
06
COMMUNICATE CHANGES
If you recall any additional witnesses, change your contact information, lose your job, change your marital status, or experience any other life changes relevant to your claim. Report these changes to your lawyer's team.
