Do you know what to do after a Maryland car accident? Many people believe that they should call their insurance company and tell an adjuster all the details of the accident. In this video, watch the Maryland auto accident attorneys of Jimeno & Gray explain what you should and shouldn't do after a Glen Burnie, Maryland accident. It is not uncommon for an insurance adjuster to call you a day after or even the same day as your car accident. The adjuster calls to find out if you were injured, how you are feeling, and the details of the accident. This individual will ask you many questions, and sometimes these questions are meant to harm you. Maybe you aren't feeling hurt the day you speak with the adjuster, but two days later you could start feeling back pain. If you have already told the adjuster that you weren't injured, then you may have negatively impacted your case. Never provide an insurance adjuster with a recorded statement. Insurance adjusters make that initial phone call as fast as possible in the hopes of locking you into a certain statement, as they are trained to save the company money at your expense. Before you speak with an insurance adjuster, you should talk with a skilled personal injury lawyer to find out your rights and what you shouldn't say to an adjuster.

You've been injured in a Howard County car crash, and one of the first things you may do is receive a medical exam. In fact, it is recommended that you do so. However, go to a hospital or your own physician, do not go to a doctor the insurance company or the defense attorney recommends. The insurance company or the defense attorney may try to persuade you to receive an exam by a doctor they recommend. Be warned: the doctor has probably worked with the insurance company or attorney for years. Additionally, the examiner has probably made hundreds of thousands of dollars performing exams for them. If you think you'll receive an unbiased exam by this person, think again. The doctor will likely give you results that the insurance company and defense attorney want. Essentially, results that will decrease your chances of getting the compensation you deserve. Speak with your lawyer before you do anything, as receiving such an exam can hurt your end result.

You've been injured in a Howard County car crash, and the last thing on your mind is how to prove your injuries at trial. Unfortunately, however, you must show a judge or jury that your injuries were caused by the accident, if you are hoping to seek compensation. The way in which to prove that the pain and suffering you are going through is a result of the accident, is to hire a lawyer, who can then bring in an expert witness. An expert witness could be the doctor who treated you. He or she will discuss your injuries, possibly how they occurred and what, if any, long-term affects will result because of them. The Maryland car accident attorney may also request the help of a non-expert witness. Friends and family members could qualify as non-experts. Your lawyer is looking for someone who has seen you just about everyday, from before and after your accident. This person can testify about the limitations the injuries have caused you. For example, if you have problems sleeping now or doing everyday activities, such as laundry or cleaning. A non-expert's testimony often weighs heavily on the type of verdict that is given. Having an experienced Howard County car accident attorney is essential in receiving the compensation you deserve. A lawyer can get the types of witnesses and evidence you need to prove your injuries were caused by the accident. Contact an attorney from Jimeno and Gray today by calling (410) 590-9401.
