The claimant, or our prospective client, must demonstrate they were injured in the accident. The injuries must be demonstrated by medical reports and records that show the extent and nature of the injury. Loss of range of motion is an important factor in measuring injury as is reticular symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, and potential spinal injuries like disc injuries and the need for surgery.
An automobile accident attorney will know what records, reports and documentation will be necessary for you to advocate your case. If your injuries dissipate within days to a couple of weeks, chances are you do not need an attorney. In these kinds of cases, you can usually settle your case individually with the insurance carrier or take your case to small claims court. However, in more significant injury cases, insurance companies train their adjusters well in an effort to save the company money. To save money, the adjuster will wind on you, argue about the reasonableness of the medical treatment, suggest or implicate you in some type of efforts to make more of your injuries than really occurred, dispute your wage loss, and dispute the amount of medical bills they wish to pay.
Insurance company adjusters are also famous for trying to dig up past medical history unrelated to the accident but which they know will embarrass you or otherwise provide you with less incentive to prosecute your action fully and completely. That is why it is best for you to hire an Orange County auto accident attorney to represent you for your injuries and damages. We will protect your medical records not related to the accident. We will protect your past history and help you to describe the changes in your condition. We will also advocate for the fair and reasonable payment of pain and suffering damages as well as all the medical expenses.
