For success in maximizing your claim, you must understand two things: (a) how the settlement process works, and (b) the settlement value of your crash claim.
There are two possible types of damages from the car crash : (a) the personal injuries you received from the car crash, and (b) the damages to your car. Both are based upon documentation, documentation and documentation.
From the time your car crash occurs, until the time you and your attorney submit your claim for damages, you should collect and preserve all evidence of the accident that documents the cause of your crash and answers this question : How has this car accident affected my life? The evidence you gather should include, among other things:
(a) The facts of how this accident occurred, with supporting documentation such as pictures, police reports, witness names, addresses and statements, etc.
(b) From there on keep a diary of important accident-related information.
(c) Medical records (including emergency room records) showing what injuries you received, how they were treated, and how well you recovered.
(d) Medical bills that you incurred to treat you car crash injuries.
(e) A statement verifying any loss of income that you experienced from your car accident.
(f) Documentation of any other financial losses that you had as a result of your car crash.
(g) Evidence of your pain and suffering, including your physician's opinion and/or prognosis.
Once you have completely recovered from your injuries,or, if you have not completely recovered but for personal reason desire to "close the case" --- you and your attorney should submit this complete information to the proper insurance company in a demand letter. At that point, it becomes a matter of negotiation between the insurance company and you (and your attorney)..
Generally, your final settlement will be negotiated based upon the following : (a) your medical bills, (b) your lost income, and (c) your pain and suffering.
