Car accidents are an all too frequent experience today. With so many distractions and people on the road, it could happen at any time to anyone. In the event of injury from a car accident, it is important to make sure you are working with dedicated industry professionals that can offer the knowledge and support you need to be compensated fairly for your injuries. The law office of Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey offers multiple areas of practice for personal injury claims, including motor vehicle accidents. Laura Fedorko shares some insight into the process and provides details about how their firm can help you with a personal injury claim.
Laura has been practicing for about four years, though her firm comes with decades of combined experience. Their firm offers legal support and representation in cases of workers’ compensation, personal injury, and motor vehicle accidents. Car accidents happen all the time, so it may not seem important to have an attorney for something so commonplace. However, people often do not realize the benefits lost by not pursuing legal counsel and support during the claims process, especially when injuries are involved. Even if you are not sure, it is a good idea to talk to an attorney shortly after an accident in case things start to go south.
Before you reach out to Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey, however, there are a few things they recommend that you do first. If you are in a car accident and are badly injured, it is important to immediately call 911 and get to a hospital right away. If your injuries are not urgent, it is important to gather as much information as possible at the scene. “Be sure to take the time to exchange information, including insurance info, license plates, full names, phone numbers and addresses with the at-fault party,” advises Laura. It is also important to document any damage done to both vehicles involved, which can be documented through a collision report done by the police. “Calling the police to the scene is always helpful,” she adds.
Once initial information has been collected, you should notify your insurance company. If the at-fault party has insurance, then you will also file a claim with their insurance company. If the person that hit you has no insurance, then you will likely be able to file for coverage through your own policy with a coverage called Uninsured Motorist. Regardless of the circumstances, if Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey represents you, they can ensure the associated insurance company compensates you appropriately for your injuries.
Now that a claim has been filed, the next step is to get in touch with Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey as soon as you can. “Seeking help as early as possible helps give us a head start,” Laura says. “We offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis, so there is no money out of pocket.” This can be a huge financial relief to people on tighter budgets, especially when considering how much those billable hours can add up. Rather than going into debt to get the representation and support you need, you can work with Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey with no up-front costs since they only get paid if they recover money on your behalf.
One of the benefits of working with a law firm like Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey during a claim is that they take care of everything for you. “When we represent an injured party in a personal injury claim, we handle all parts of the claims process,” Laura says. “We take charge of all communications with the involved insurance companies so you don’t have to.” As experts, they understand the process and can help take a huge burden off of you during an already difficult time. They work diligently to conduct research to compile a tailored demand to the insurance company. “We work closely with you throughout the negotiations process to ensure you understand and approve of each step,” Laura says.
Every personal injury claim is a little different, which is why having experts represent you can make a world of difference. The team at Putnam Lieb Potvin Dailey reviews similar cases and jury verdicts in order to determine what a fair value for your personal injury claim is. “We put together a demand and negotiate directly with the insurance company to get as close to that value as possible,” Laura explains. “If negotiations fall through or they are not coming back with a fair number, then we can proceed by filing a suit to go to trial.” The timeline of each claim can vary greatly, which is why it is such a plus to not have to worry about an hourly rate. If you don’t get paid, they don’t get paid.
