Suggestions for Helping Your Own Case

November 30, 2012 by Dianne Sawaya Leave a Comment

Get medical care right away and continue seeing your medical providers until they place you at maximum medical improvement. This is very important. If you delay getting care after your accident or have long periods between medical treatment, insurance adjusters and defense attorneys will use against you. They’ll say your injuries can’t be very serious if you don’t even go to the doctor, and won’t offer you much compensation.

In a related vein, keep the appointments you make with your doctors. Not going to the doctor at all is bad enough, but if your medical record – which the insurance company will see – has a lot of “no-shows” marked in it, that’s almost as bad as not going at all.

Your Denver personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya also will advise you to do what your doctor tells you. Take the medicines the doctor prescribes, do the recommended therapy exercises and if your doctor limits certain activities, don’t do them. When it comes time to settle your case or if your case winds up in court and you haven’t followed your doctor’s orders, the insurance company will use that against you.

Finally, keep notes on how the accident has affected your ability to live your life like you did before the accident. Think about the activities you do inside your home – prepare meals, eat, sleep, bathe and so on. Then think about the things you do outside your home – drive, work, ride your bike. If you have trouble with these activities now, you should be compensated for that.

If you’ve been hurt in an accident, make the right decision – call today. We’ll make sure you get the care and compensation you’re entitled to. Give me a call at (303) 758-4777, email me at DLS@dlslawfirm.com or visit our website at www.dlslawfirm.com for more information. Let’s talk about your case. There’s no cost or obligation. And remember: If we take your case, we don’t get paid unless you get paid.
