The Value of a North Augusta Car Accident Attorney
A North Augusta attorney plays a pivotal role in the financial recovery process. At the Ted Law Firm, our attorneys approach your case in a systematic, step-by-step manner. The following steps are involved in the process:
General Evaluation of Your Claim
A general evaluation of your situation is necessary to determine the best path forward. A complete evaluation involved reviewing the circumstances of the accident, along with all medical documentation.
Navigating the Legal System
Needless to say, the legal system as it applies to car accidents is complex. Many things need to happen in order to bring a viable lawsuit which leads to recovery. We will review your case thoroughly and chart a legal course based on the facts of your case.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
We will step in to handle the complex negotiations with insurance companies. Insurance companies try to avoid paying claims; they maximize profit by taking premiums, not paying claims. We understand the dynamics of these negotiations and have the skills to ensure the best results.
Common Injuries in a North Augusta Car Accident
The injuries which can follow from any given car accident vary widely, but all injuries fall into a few general categories:
Short-Term Physical Injuries: These injuries can be remedied by fairly simple methods – bandages, gauze, slings, or other similar means. May require surgery, but typically don’t require surgery.
Long-Term Physical Injuries: These injuries nearly always require surgery – broken arms, broken noses, etc. – and very often require longer term physical therapy to ensure full recovery.
Mental-Emotional Trauma: In addition to physical injuries, car accidents can produce psychological scarring, and therapy or counseling is often necessary to help heal these mental-emotional wounds (i.e. anxiety, PTSD, depression, etc.).
Lifestyle Modifications: These injuries require permanent modifications to a person’s lifestyle. Common examples include things like wheelchairs, or modifications to a person’s home (ramps, elevators, etc.).
Economic Recovery for Car Accidents
Many car accident victims wonder: what sort of things may I seek recovery for after a car accident? Fortunately, the items which may be recovered are not just those which are incurred immediately following an accident. Here are a few of the things which may be recovery:
- Short-term medical care costs (bandages, ambulatory services, medical attention)
- Future medical care costs (long-term rehabilitation, physical therapy)
- Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life
- Costs for psychological-emotional trauma (therapy, counseling)
- Costs incurred for lifestyle modifications
When the attorneys at the Ted Law Firm evaluate your claim, we conduct a thorough evaluation to guarantee that you recover the maximum possible amount.
General Outline of the Claims Process
Here is a general outline of the claims process as designed by the Ted Law Firm:
Accident Analysis: We will sit down and go over every relevant detail of the accident itself, inch by inch, in order to have a clear understanding of what occurred and whether a viable claim may be developed.
Medical Record Review: We speak with all medical professionals involved, gather all medical records, and then produce a full picture of all medical related costs.
Legal Strategy: Based on the results of the previous two steps, we then chart a legal strategy to use moving forward. Your legal strategy is always based on the unique facts of your case.
