This is an area that covers an injured individual for rehabilitation, lost enjoyment in life or activities or future losses.
The first thing an individual should do after an accident has occurred is check for any injuries. Immediately call the police to report the incident. If injuries are received, seek medical treatment immediately. If an individual is able to take any pictures of the scene or make any notes about the accident, it is highly recommended. Keep detailed notes of the physicians that were visited and a list of any medication that was given. If the injuries are received as a result of medical malpractice, detailed notes of medications and situations that lead up to the occurrence are very important.
Don’t attempt to settle a case alone with an insurance company. The amount of money they will offer an injured individual is usually not even close to what the injured party is actually entitled to.
