It is common knowledge that getting justice and rightful personal injury claim is dependent on the competency and ability of the solicitor. The amount that you get would be very useful for the treatment of injury. However not everything can be left to the solicitor handling the case. It is also incumbent on the victim to co-operate very closely with the solicitors so that the case is not spoilt due to any lapse on the part of the victim.
Though the solicitor attending to the personal injury compensation case normally advises the client on how to conduct himself, given below are certain tips on the subject that would be very useful. It is important to recognise here that you, as the victim, are trying to get benefits out of the insurance company representing the guilty party. They often have a lot of data and other vital insights about the incident that has transpired, and it is important to take cognisance of the same and not do anything that might jeopardise your chances of getting the personal injury claim.
Let us look at some of the points you need to keep in mind:
1. Any wrong information about physical restrictions and extent of fitness
Make sure that you do not overstate your physical inabilities. You may think that by doing so you may gain their sympathy, but the fact is that it can work against you as it could end up benefiting the opposite party. Avoid unnecessary superficial statements that you cannot back up with evidence and you stand a much better chance to present your case favourably.
Be aware that insurance agencies take the help of private detectives who may keep a track of all your habits and behaviour. Since they continuously monitor you, they are the first to know if you have genuine problems or are just making it up. Any falsification here could cost you the claim.
2. Hiding any pre existing injuries or physical ailments
Do not make the mistake of attributing any pre existing injuries or ailments to the accident. Make sure that you state facts as they have happened and your lawyer will be able to do a better job with the factual information. Stick to the events and their effects on your body so that the case may be presented in that light.
3. Hiding history of previous accidents
It does not benefit you to conceal any previous incidents of accidents that you may have been involved in as the insurance companies have full access to databases and they can easily check out the facts about your involvement in any accident. They may, however, test you by asking pointed questions on the said events and it is advisable that you do not attempt to obfuscate the facts as they occurred at that point in time. If you attempt to do so, you can kiss your personal injury compensation claim goodbye.
The above words of advice need to be followed diligently by you and your lawyer must have factual information, armed with which they can fight your case successfully.
