What To Do While Waiting To Complete Your Florida Personal Injury Case

PIClaims4

After suffering an injury in Florida due to the negligence of another party, you may be left dealing with huge medical expenses. A severe injury can also leave you in a lot of pain and unable to go to work and earn a living. Because of this, you need to hire an experienced attorney after suffering a personal injury, so that they can help you recover the maximum possible amount of compensation from the at-fault party. Unfortunately, personal injury settlements are not immediate. This is especially because of the back and forth that happens with insurance companies. A personal injury settlement can take weeks or months to be reached. Below are some of the crucial things you should do while waiting to conclude your Florida personal injury case.

Keep a Record of All Communication With the At-Fault Party’s Insurance Company

During your personal injury case, the chances are, you will communicate a lot with the at-fault party’s insurance company. You need to be careful about the things you say to the insurance company. For example, you should never admit fault to the insurance company. In addition to being careful about what you say to the at-fault party’s insurance company, you need to record all the communication between you and the insurance company. Insurance companies are known to operate in bad faith. When you maintain a dated record of communication, that record can come in handy if legal proceedings need to happen to get a bad faith insurance company to pay you what you deserve to be paid for your injuries and damages.

Maintain a Record of Your Pain Levels

Proving non-economic damages can be difficult, mainly because non-economic damages are subjective. For example, if you take notes on how the pain affects your life and mood, such a record can serve as helpful evidence of your non-economic damages.

Continue With Treatment

It is vital that you continue with treatment even if you are feeling better. If your doctor has not told you to stop seeing them, keep seeing them and pursuing treatment. If you stop seeking treatment, the at-fault party’s insurance company may use that against you. The insurance company might downplay your pain levels and injuries. Additionally, you will be compensated for all your medical expenses, so you do not need to worry that you are spending too much on treatment.

Provide Your Attorney Will All Relevant Information

Lastly, while waiting to complete your Florida personal injury case, you need to keep your attorney updated. Even if you think certain information is irrelevant, ensure you share it with your attorney. When you share information with your personal injury attorney, they may be able to use it to your advantage during settlement negotiations or in front of a jury.
