¿Cómo puedo cobrar mis ingresos perdidos?

Incluso si una persona lesionada no puede trabajar después de un accidente, la táctica de la compañía de seguros es no estar de acuerdo y afirmar que la persona podría trabajar para que las compañías de seguros puedan negar la reclamación por pérdida de ingresos. Es importante tener la documentación médica de un médico calificado que pruebe la incapacidad de trabajar durante un cierto período de tiempo debido a una lesión. Trabajamos con los médicos y empleadores de nuestros clientes para probar la razón médica de la falta de trabajo y el cálculo de la pérdida de ingresos. Esto frecuentemente resulta en una pelea con la compañía de seguros, pero creemos que con pruebas sólidas somos capaces de ganar la pelea y cobrar los ingresos perdidos de nuestros clientes.

How do I get the most money for my case?

Evidence is essential in order to get top dollar for an injury case. This means there must be proof of who was at fault for the accident and that the accident caused your injuries. Police reports and witness statements go a long way to proving fault while detailed medical records from qualified doctors (many times orthopedics or neurologists) are used to show the cause and extent of the injuries. We work to build a solid case in order to seek maximum compensation for our clients’ injuries.

Is there a benefit to being represented by a lawyer?

Most of the time in an accident injury situation, an insurance company will be your opponent. Insurance companies are very skilled at denying or minimizing injury claims – that’s how they make money. Insurance adjusters regularly deny claims that should be paid, or they offer only a small percent of the fair value of a claim. Our goal is the opposite. We develop a settlement package presenting our client’s case that often can result in our client receiving 10 to 20 times more compensation than what the insurance adjusters might offer for their injury claim. In such case, even after legal fees, our clients can net more money in their pocket. Even better, we work on a completely contingent basis, so there are no legal fees unless we are successful in collecting compensation for our clients.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Do not talk to anyone at the insurance company. This includes their insurance adjusters and defense lawyers. Insurance companies frequently record phone conversations during which they ask leading questions designed to produce testimony that they can use to deny your case. If we are your lawyers, we will do the talking for you so you do not fall into the insurance company traps that are designed to decrease the value of your claim.

How do I pay my medical bills?

Medical bills can be paid through various manners such as health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, Personal Injury Protection insurance funds, deferred billing, and letters of protection. Depending on all of the facts surrounding your case and the insurance companies involved, we produce a strategy that we believe will best benefit our clients. Also, even if our clients do not have access to health insurance, we can assist them with getting medical care that is paid at the end of the case – which means no upfront medical bills.
