How An Attorney Can Help If Your Injury Claim Was Denied

You are hurt badly in an injury accident, such as a Florida car accident, for example, and so you decide to file a claim with the insurance to help you pay for your medical bills and other accident-related expenses. The problem is that after you file your claim, you are denied. Now, you are hurt, in pain, unable to work, and without the compensation you need to recoup your financial losses, and the bills are piling up. This scenario represents a nightmarish one where you could undoubtedly feel so overwhelmed and upset that you aren’t sure where to turn or what to do next.

Anyone can understand the feeling of despair that can come in a situation like this. However, simply because a claim is denied, that doesn’t mean that the ability to recover monetary compensation is over. 

If you would like assistance with a personal injury claim or if your claim was denied, you can call the Tampa personal injury attorneys at Fulgencio Law to have experienced legal counsel helping you in your particular situation.

What an Attorney Can Do After a Claim Denial

In the aftermath of an injury accident, and especially if you were badly hurt, it can be hard to work through the claims process alone. A simple mistake on your part may be all that needs to happen for your claim to be denied, leaving you feeling hopeless. If you have never filed a personal injury claim, it is likely you didn’t have insights on those things to avoid, which can jeopardize your claim. 

With an attorney on your side, you can benefit from the following:

• An attorney can advise you on what evidence should be gathered, such as eyewitness testimony, pictures of the accident scene or video footage, and your medical records, and even provide additional resources, such as feedback from a professional accident reconstructionist.
• An attorney will know how to investigate your claim so that fault can be determined thoroughly. 
• An investigation of your accident experience and an analysis of the extent of your damages can be used by your attorney to correctly value your claim so you don’t accept a settlement that is insufficient.
• Taking over all communications with the insurance company during an appeal.
• Ensuring that your claim is taken care of within Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations, which is usually two years from the date that your accident occurred. 
• If negotiations do not result in a suitable and reasonable settlement, then an attorney will be prepared to litigate your case in court and argue for fair compensation on your behalf.
