Contact our Fuquay-Varina office to discuss your accident, the records available and any insurance proposal you have been asked to consider.

Injury matters the firm reviews

• Car, truck and commercial-vehicle crashes
• Motorcycle crashes
• Slip-and-fall injuries
• Serious injuries involving alleged negligence
• Wrongful death claims

A description of the accident is only a starting point. A review also considers the available evidence, questions about responsibility and how the injury has affected you.

Keep health and claim paperwork organized

Create a place for accident reports, witness contact information, photographs and insurance letters. Keep claim numbers and adjuster contact details with the related correspondence so it is clear who sent each request and which incident it concerns.

Maintain a separate record of treatment providers, appointments, bills and missed work. If care is ongoing or a record is not yet available, note that rather than trying to present an artificially complete picture. Your medical providers remain the source of advice about treatment.

Understand what the insurance correspondence addresses

A repair estimate answers different questions from a treatment record. When an insurer sends a request, payment or proposed settlement, identify what it relates to and bring the full document for review. Do not rely only on a summary of a telephone conversation.

Useful questions for an attorney include:

• What information is being requested, and for what purpose?
• What issues does the proposed settlement address?
• What information about the injury or treatment is still missing?
• Are there questions about responsibility that need further investigation?

Prepare for a discussion, not just a document handoff

Write down your main concerns and a short sequence of events. Explain any differences between the reports, your recollection and what an insurer has told you. Include correspondence you have already sent as well as documents you received.

If you have an offer to consider, bring the offer and any accompanying paperwork. The discussion should address the circumstances of your claim rather than assume that a dollar figure alone explains the proposal.
