Important Steps in the Personal Injury Claim Process
After you get medical attention, the most important step in a personal injury case is to consult an attorney. An experienced personal injury lawyer can tell you what the statute of limitations is for your claim and ensure you do not lose your right to sue.
Your attorney should quickly begin a factual investigation of the incident that resulted in your injury in order to preserve valuable evidence. At Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel, we often collect clients' medical reports, employment records showing missed work and lost wages, and other important evidence.
A good personal injury lawyer should also conduct thorough legal research and review similar cases and outcomes to determine how to most effectively build your case. To educate our clients and potential clients further on the personal injury claim process, we offer the following information:
Our lawyers may first attempt to resolve your case through negotiation and settlement. Often, injury claims can be settled through arbitration or mediation, saving clients time and legal expenses. However, if the insurance company is not willing to offer the maximum amount for your injury, we will take your case to litigation and let a judge and jury decide.
Contact us at 408-217-0356 to speak directly with a San Jose personal injury lawyer about your claim. All of our attorney fees for personal injury cases are contingency-based, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
