I’ve been handling personal injury, wrongful death, and similar cases over the last 25 years.
You are hit by another person who is insured by Allstate, State Farm, Geico, etc.
The insurance adjuster from the other person’s insurance company approaches you and says, “Here’s a little form I need you to fill out. It will just let us get your medical records so then we can give you a fair settlement.”
After you’ve been in a car wreck, someone says to you, “Look, I know you might be making a claim or filing a lawsuit from this wreck. Do not put stuff on social media. If you do put stuff on social media, be careful what you post.”
You’ve been in a car wreck and ultimately have to file suit because you cannot get a fair settlement from the insurance company.
The answer is very rarely which is unusual among all of the states. Here’s what I mean.
So you’ve been in a car wreck, and you know the other side has insurance. Maybe it is State Farm, Allstate, Geico, etc.
A common question that comes to mind when we’ve been in a car wreck is, “Should I take pictures of my vehicle?”
The simple answer is yes.
A picture is worth a 1000 words
A common question that comes to mind when we’ve been in a car wreck is, “Should I take pictures of my vehicle?”
If we’ve been in a car wreck, and we’re suing the person who ran into us, we may wonder, “Why does the defendant get to see my medical records?”
This is a reasonable question because we know about HIPAA, which protects our medical privacy.
If you’ve the unfortunate experience of being in a car wreck, you may wonder, “How do I figure out how much insurance the other person has?”
Pretty important question if you need money from the other side to compensate you for lost wages, pain and suffering, medical expenses, permanent injury, etc.
