When faced with a personal injury, it is important to document everything.  It is very important and helpful to document  what happened with pictures, video, or notes. The first step in helping a Katy personal injury attorney to represent you effectively is making sure that you document as much as you can.

Investigation

Your Fort Bend, TX personal injury attorney will promptly and thoroughly investigate your claim.  The more information you can provide, the better. This includes items such as police reports, incident reports, witness statements, and photos.

Talk to Your Lawyer

Often, insurance companies and risk management personnel for at-fault parties will attempt to contact you before you hire an attorney. You may even be persuaded that it is not necessary for you to have representation. It is not uncommon for them to attempt to settle cheaply and quickly, even before your injuries are fully understood. Be aware of giving recorded statements in person or over the phone. Also, be very aware of insurance adjusters asking you to sign anything. You should talk to a qualified lawyer about your rights first. Simply call your attorney, tell them that the other party has attempted to make contact with you and let them handle it.  Don’t put your rights at risk.

Understand Your Claim

Make sure you understand your injuries and your rights before signing anything, much less settling. Insurance companies stay profitable by accepting premiums, not paying claims. If they can pay less on a claim, they will. Your health and rights are the most important factor in a claim. Make sure you understand both of them fully before agreeing to give statements, sign documents, or settle. The at-fault party will have representation.  You should too.
