Chandler Personal Injury Lawyer

It is not easy to recover fair compensation from an insurance company, even if you have a rock-solid personal injury claim. That’s because insurance companies and their legal departments will do everything they can to minimize losses and maximize profits. A Chandler personal injury lawyer from Silkman Law Firm Injury & Accident Lawyer can give you the best chance at securing maximum financial recovery for your losses by:

• Conducting a thorough investigation of the accident and the underlying facts and circumstances to secure evidence we can use to build your claim
• Consulting with expert witnesses, if necessary, to build the strongest possible case for maximum compensation
• Identifying who is at fault for your injuries and all potential sources of compensation
• Vigorously pursuing negotiations with insurers to try to reach a settlement that pays you maximum compensation for your past, ongoing, and future losses and expenses
• Taking your claim to trial if that presents the best option to secure the money you’re owed

Insurance companies and their lawyers handle claims like yours every day. They will take advantage of people who are not represented by a dedicated personal injury attorney. When you get a skilled Chandler injury lawyer on your side, you are showing the insurance companies that you intend to fight for the maximum recovery you are owed.

In Arizona, you have a limited time in which to file a personal injury lawsuit. Under the statute of limitations, you typically only have two years from the date on which you were injured to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. In addition, if you need to file a personal injury claim against a state or local government agency, the law in Arizona requires you to provide the liable public agency with notice of your claim within 180 days of the accident. If you wait too long to take action, you risk having your case thrown out and losing your chance to receive compensation for your losses. The longer you wait to speak with an attorney, the more chance there is that important evidence will be lost or destroyed. Speak to a personal injury lawyer in Chandler as soon as possible to begin work on your claim.

If you have been hurt in an accident in Chandler, you can take certain steps to protect your legal options for pursuing a claim against those responsible for your injury. These steps include:

• Documenting the accident scene, if possible, by using your smartphone to take photos or videos of relevant details, including whatever caused the accident and your injuries, views of the scene, and lighting or weather conditions (if relevant).
• Seeking medical attention as soon as possible, so that you are examined by a doctor who can diagnose and treat your injuries. You should also photograph any visible injuries you suffered.
• Following all treatment instructions that your medical providers give you. Do not delay or defer any treatment or rehabilitation.
• Retaining copies of all bills, invoices, or receipts for expenses incurred due to the accident. If you miss time from work, you should also have copies of your pay stubs, income statements, or tax returns on hand to demonstrate these losses.
• Starting a journal to document your recovery from your injuries. You should describe in detail how your injuries and subsequent treatment and recovery affect your personal and professional life.
• Avoiding discussing the accident, your injuries, and your legal claim on social media. If you are still undergoing treatment or rehabilitation for your injuries, you should avoid posting photos or videos of yourself. Insurance companies and their lawyers will comb through your online presence, looking for anything they can use against you.
• Speaking to a Chandler personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can explain your legal rights and prevent you from making any mistakes that could hurt your case.
