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:

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.
