First and foremost you should always consult with a lawyer
Immediately after you have been injured, and are receiving or are in need of medical treatment, the first thing you should do is consult with an attorney who will be able to advise you on the law, your rights, who you can seek recompense from, and what you can expect from the other party’s insurance company. Many attorneys who handle personal injury cases will provide you with a free consultation in which your case can be talked about and evaluated.
Only talk to your lawyer
You hire an attorney to handle your case. Do not let insurance adjustors, investigators, or potential defendants force you into making proclamations on the telephone, or accidentally agreeing to answer their questions. If you do, your case may be compromised, and you may be indicted at your trial by an adjustor who testifies about these alleged phone conversations you had with them saying “how much better you were.” In all, if you only talk to your lawyer, the person will be unable to talk about anything you “supposedly” said.
Do keep your lawyer informed
It is vital that you stay in contact with your attorney and that they have your most current address and phone numbers. If your attorney is unable to get in touch with you, important dates or opportunities may be missed, and if they can’t get a hold of you, they may withdraw from representing you and working on your case.
Do ask as many questions as you need to
If you need to ask questions, you should ask them. You should always be able to trust in your attorney. You may receive their opinion whether you ask for it or not, but if you have questions or concerns, it is vital that you ask them.
