You need a lawyer now. The idea is to get as much as possible as quickly as possible. I'm sure a bunch of people will subsequently answer urging you to contact them. Obviously I cannot say whether you should contact them, or someone else. But you should contact someone. I can make a referral to someone focusing on this area if you do not have a lawyer in your personal network.

You need to consult with a personal injury attorney immediately. Do not do anything until you have consulted with an attorney.

Our firm handles personal injury and we offer free consultations. If you would like to schedule a consultation at a time convenient for you call us at 617-523-3200 or you can email me directly.

Thank you,

Hi -

Sorry to hear about your accident. My office handles only personal injury cases, and we would be happy to speak to you, free of charge, about this case, to discuss your rights. Although it is the weekend, I regularly check my voicemails. I hope to be of assistance to you.

You're a fool to be trolling for and possibly relying on advice on the internet rather than taking the time to hire a real lawyer. It is likely you are well on your way to messing up your own case and making task of the lawyer who you eventually hire a lot more difficult. Good luck.

You should definately consult with a personal injury attorney. I offer free consults and I never charge a fee unless sucessful.

In order to determine the value of the case, the attorneys must look at a combination of factors, including lost wages, pain and suffering, permanency of the injury, any scarring or disfigurement, loss of consortium, periods of disability, etc. Determining the value of a case is an art rather than a science. The amount of the medical bills incurred will be one important factor in determining the value of the case

Representing yourself and negotiating with an adjuster is usually not a good idea! Because you have no experience and no law degree, you are often not aware of the full value of your case. The insurance adjuster may take advantage of your inexperience. Adjusters typically will offer a lot less money to a person representing themselves than they would to an attorney representing a client.

Furthermore, when you are representing yourself in a personal injury or slip and fall case, the insurance company knows that you do not know how to litigate a lawsuit. Therefore you don't have as much leverage with the adjuster.
