Questions to Ask After a Car Crash | How Much is My Case Worth?

A lot of times, people will judge the value of a case purely on the medicals. However, there are other things that are called intangible damages – this is the mental anguish, physical impairment, and physical injuries that the person sustained. That too has value. Intangible damages are important because as you go through the litigation process, we place value on it and show, if necessary, a judge and jury the value of those damages. Because each case varies, it all depends on the severity of the crash and injuries.

Questions to Ask After a Car Crash | What is the Biggest Mistake to Make?

A client tried to be tough and didn’t go get the medical care he needed immediately. Here he was, five weeks later without having seen a doctor, still having the same pain and now it’s even worse. Typically, what happens is the insurance companies provide zero value on a claim like that. The most important thing to do is immediately go see your healthcare provider after a crash. You should seek treatment so that you can identify the injuries that you have.

Questions to Ask After a Car Crash | Is PIP Insurance Important?

PIP insurance is short for personal injury protection. Not all people carry PIP insurance, but you need to check your insurance policy to see if there are certain provisions that are afforded to you (PIP is one of them) so that if you do get medical care after a crash, there is that amount of insurance that will pay to cover those medical expenses that you incurred as a result of the crash. These expenses typically cover up to $2,500 and sometimes even as much as $5,000.
