When you have been injured or have received damages from an injury in Kentucky, dealing with insurance companies and seeking compensation can be a daunting, and sometimes overwhelming prospect. Many are unsure of how to handle an insurance claim, and the steps that need to be taken to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. To help our clients better understand the process of filing a claim with an insurance company, the Kentucky personal injury lawyer, John Byrnes has complied a list of tips and advice for dealing with both your own insurance company, and the insurance companies of others.

- Hire an attorney to assist you in negotiations. Dealing with an insurance adjuster after being involved in an accident can be a stressful, frustrating experience. Retaining the services of an attorney will take the majority of the burden off of you and allow you to focus on your own recovery. An attorney will help you communicate effectively with your insurance company and ensure that your rights are protected and you get the compensation you need and deserve.

- Notify the parties involved that you intend to seek compensation. This will help you receive a timely settlement and prevent the other parties involved from claiming you unfairly surprised them by seeking compensation.

- Investigate and gather evidence. Either you or your attorney will need to gather certain evidence to support your claim to the insurance company. This evidence may include pictures of your injuries or the scene of your accident, police reports and citations, and witness information and statements. When this evidence has been gathered, your attorney will send it along with a letter demanding compensation for your injuries to your insurance company.

- Aim high in the amount you seek. While you and your Kentucky personal injury attorney will have an idea of how much you deserve to receive in compensation, your attorney may ask for up to double that amount in their initial demand letter. This will allow room for negotiation until you and insurance company can settle on an amount that suits you both.

- Be sure that you read and understand the terms in the settlement release. When you receive a settlement check from the insurance company you will also be asked to sign a document releasing the insurance company from any further liability related to your claim. Before you sign this document, be sure you read it carefully and have an attorney explain any unfamiliar terms to ensure that your rights are protected and any questions you have are answered.

Douglas A.  Swim is the only medically trained individual that is now a practicing medical malpractice that has practiced in   obstetrical setting.  Doug is the only MD and JD attorney, and one of the few Physician assistants in Medical Malpractice Law.

When a birth injury in Oklahoma occurs, parents may not always know the extent or the permanence of the disability that will result from the injury. Sometimes they are advised to wait and see if their baby gets better. However, be careful about delaying too long before talking to a knowledgeable birth injury lawyer about the case. Not only can the details and witnesses become harder to track down after a few months, but in most cases parents only have two years to file an Oklahoma birth injury lawsuit on behalf of their child.

If you choose to wait, try not to delay longer than six months after the birth. Even if your child’s condition improves you may still have a case and your child may still need extra medical and rehabilitative care for the rest of his or her life.

Please contact our Oklahoma City law firm with questions about your legal issue. Provide as much information as possible regarding your inquiry. While this contact does not serve to establish an attorney/client relationship, it will allow our legal team to begin an assessment of your case.

Hellmann v. Droege’s Super Market, Inc.; 943 S.W.2d 655 (Mo.App. E.D. 1997)

Plaintiff was a woman who slipped and fell on an ice-covered parking lot. Court directed a verdict in favor of defendant because the condition was obvious and known to the plaintiff. However, Court of Appeals reversed on the grounds that the store owner had a duty to anticipate that a patron would park a vehicle on an icy space in the lot and fall even if he exercised due care. Therefore, the case should have been submitted to the jury. Case settled after appeal and before second trial.

If you need an advocate in the courtroom, you will want the representation of someone who has experience trying cases before a jury and will champion your case aggressively and passionately. For almost 20 years, Joseph Walsh has represented clients in the courtroom, compiling a professional track record filled with success and expertise.

Georgia Workers Compensation and Personal Injury Lawyer

What clients have to say about workers comp attorney John A. Snyder:

“We would truly like to express our appreciation to John Snyder for his help on our problem. I noticed his name online and emailed him, outlining what we felt was wrong with how Workers’ Comp was handling our case. Not only did he email me back, but he called me personally and outlined how he would like to proceed and assured me repeatedly that we had a good case. I had never used a lawyer before and heard horror stories. John proved them all wrong and has worked hard for us since day one. Without John’s help, we would have lost our home and probably our only car. With John’s help we were able to stay on track and get the proper medical attention and satisfaction that was due. Thank you.” William W. Hocutt

“My family and I want to personally thank you for accepting my case. The claim was not headed in the right direction before you took over for me. I appreciate all the extra effort you have put in on my case and I trust you and your decisions. I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of a workers’ compensation lawyer.” Timothy A. Jones & Family

“Just wanted to say many thanks for the terrific job you are doing and have done over the years on my catastrophic injury claim. I wish everyone could see how aggressive you have been with this large, complicated case. You have been extraordinary throughout the many bumps and rough roads my claim has taken me since 1999. Please know how much my family and I appreciate your hard work and professionalism throughout this case. We love you.” Sincerely, Michael McCain & Family
