Injury Attorney Michael Grossman Discusses Injuries in an Auto Accident
If you or someone your love has been in an auto accident, you have probably had to deal with insurance companies and their adjusters. This is almost always a frustrating process, but if you have suffered an injury in your car accident, you should let an experienced attorney handle these negotiations.
Seeking compensation for an auto injury (whether large or small) is not easy for those without legal experience, and, despite their friendly demeanor, insurance companies will do everything they can to avoid paying you. Experienced Dallas auto injury attorney Michael Grossman from Grossman Law Offices is here to tell you a little bit about how insurance companies handle these claims and why you need the help of an aggressive lawyer.
Common Types of Auto Accident Injuries
In general, there are two broad categories of auto injury: small injury claims and serious injury claims. Some examples of small injuries include whiplash, soft tissue damage, sore muscles, etc. Some examples of serious injuries include broken bones, neck or back injuries, spinal cord injuries, severed limbs, head injuries, etc. Obviously, the line between a small injury and a serious injury is not always so clear. However, the distinction is useful in that it allows your attorney to predict how your insurance company will handle your claim.
Small Injury Claims
If you have suffered a small injury, the majority of your damages will probably cover pain and discomfort. You will likely have medical expenses, and those will be covered as well, but your medical bills will likely not be very high. The challenge in these cases comes from proving up your damages. In most small injury claims, your insurance company will downplay your claim, working to convince a jury that you are not in as much pain as you claim to be. This is a difficult tactic for non-attorneys to handle, as simply saying you are in pain is not enough to validate your claim.
However, our attorneys know how to prove up these types of damages. We will seek expert witness testimony from physicians that can provide evidence that you are in pain. Furthermore, we will help you document the days after your injury to provide more concrete evidence. Most importantly, however, we know how to speak the jury’s language, and we can make sure that they understand the full extent of your injuries.
Serious Injury Claims
In a serious injury claim, there is much more money on the line. Your medical bills will be much higher (potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars or more), you will lose wages spending time in the hospital, you may be in a lot of pain, you may suffer long-term disability, and you may not even be able to return to work. A successful auto injury lawsuit can ensure that you are compensated for all these damages, but your insurance company will do everything they can to avoid paying you.
With so much money at stake, insurance companies become much more aggressive. They will attempt to flat out deny liability, and they will attempt to get you to damage your own case. They often approach car accident victims within hours of the accident, while you are still potentially in shock, and before you have had a chance to speak to an attorney. They typically act friendly and cooperative, asking you about your accident, but their ultimate goal is to get you to say something that will compromise your claim. It is imperative that you do not speak to insurance adjusters. That is a dangerous task, and should only be handled by legal professionals.
