Albany Auto Accident AttorneyCall us at 888-733-5299. The phone call is free and a person answers our phone 24 hours a day. We will come to you for a free consultation. There is no fee for auto accident claims unless you collect. We move auto accident claims quickly. We contact the insurance company to see if the claim can be settled without suing. This happens when the injuries are severe and the other side has limited insurance. Usually the insurance company does not make a genuine offer, and we sue. After a auto accident lawsuit begins, we do 3-6 months of paperwork between attorneys. Then come depositions. Their attorney will ask you about the auto accident and your injuries. We will ask the other side about the accident. Defense auto accident attorneys may require an independent medical examination (IME). They hire a doctor to examine you, review records, and make a report. Some cases settle after depositions or the IME. The next step in auto accident lawsuits is trial. We pick a jury, tell them about the auto accident and your injuries in opening statements. You and your doctors testify, and the defense witnesses also testify. Many auto accident lawsuits settle during trial. If not, the jury renders a verdict. The Serious Injury Threshold in Auto Accident LawsuitsCertain injuries qualify easily, such as fractures. Other injuries, such as whiplash, are more complicated. The four major categories of serious injury in auto accident lawsuits are: 1. Significant Limitation; and 2. Permanent Consequential Limitation Your doctor must describe your limitations and discuss how they affect your activities. Be sure to discuss with your doctor how your injuries affect your daily activities. Your doctor may have to explain how the auto accident caused your injury and your limitations. 3. Permanent Loss of Use Recent court decisions have held that this requires a "total loss of use". It is usually easier to show categories 1 and 2. 4. "90/180" If you miss 3 months of work in the 6 months following the auto accident, on your doctor's instruction, that usually qualifies. There are other ways to qualify, but that is the most common for this auto accident serious injury category. Our attorneys understand the serious injury threshold in auto accident cases. We can help you make sure you get the right treatment to help you get better, and document that your injuries are serious for your auto accident claim. 888-733-5299
