These incidents often result from negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct or intentional misconduct. Whatever the cause, you deserve legal and financial remedies, and the liable party should be held responsible. Working with attorney Miller can help you get this done.
What Should I Do After An Accident?
After an accident, your health comes first. Seek medical attention immediately and alert the proper authorities. Resist the urge to accept an insurance settlement right away. These initial offers often fail to cover the full range of your injuries, which may include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term care needs
In Maryland, personal injury lawsuits can help you recover these damages, but they often require a fight to maximize your compensation. Instead of battling alone, let a skilled personal injury lawyer tackle the legal process while you focus on getting better and moving forward.
Common Mistakes To Avoid After An Accident
Just as it is essential to take the right steps to protect your rights and interests after an accident, it is equally important to avoid missteps that can harm your chances of receiving fair compensation. Some common mistakes to avoid include:
- Don’t give statements to insurance companies without consulting an attorney. Insurance adjusters may use your words against you, and an attorney can help you navigate these conversations.
- Be cautious when signing releases or waivers. These documents can limit your ability to pursue further compensation.
- Document everything. Take photos of your injuries, damages and the accident scene. Keep a record of your medical treatment, including appointments, medications and therapy.
- Avoid posting about the accident on social media. Insurance companies and their attorneys may monitor your online activity, looking for evidence to use against you.
- Don’t delay medical treatment or ignore symptoms. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and delaying treatment can make it harder to prove causation.
By avoiding these common mistakes, you can better protect yourself and your rights after an accident.
Don’t Delay. The Clock Is Ticking.
In personal injury cases, time is critical. Under Maryland’s statute of limitations, you must file a personal injury lawsuit within three years from the date of the injury. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to seek compensation.
Moreover, memories fade, evidence disappears and insurance companies push for quick settlements to cut costs. For all these reasons, it’s wise to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident so you can understand your options and avoid costly mistakes.
