Lowell, Tewksbury & Andover Accident and Injury Lawyer
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after an accident?
Following an accident of any kind, it is important to seek medical attention – even if you feel that you are not seriously injured. In some cases, injuries will present themselves at a later date and cause problems in the future. It is also vital that you talk to an attorney immediately after you seek medical care. Consulting an attorney right away will help ensure that you are not taken advantage of by the insurance company. Do not make any statements to law enforcement, to the other driver or to the insurance company in regards to who caused the accident.
Why should I hire a personal injury attorney?
You should hire a skilled Tewksbury personal injury attorney because that is the only way you can truly ensure that your case is in good hands and is taken care of properly. Trying to file a claim and negotiate with the insurance company will likely only result in your claim being denied or delayed, or in the insurance company offering you a settlement that is far below the amount you actually need. An experienced lawyer can handle all aspects of your claim and can also pursue a lawsuit in civil court in order to seek maximum monetary compensation.
What is my case worth?
The particular value of your claim will typically vary depending upon the extent of your injuries and losses. Serious and fatal injuries are life-changing and will therefore usually result in a higher value for your claim. Disfigurement, amputation, the loss of a loved one and the need for continued medical treatment or assisted living are all factors that will likely result in a higher case value. An experienced Tewksbury personal injury lawyer can evaluate your particular situation in order to help determine the value of your claim.
What can I receive compensation for?
You may be able to receive compensation for: property damage, medical bills, loss of enjoyment of life, future medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering. As with the claim amount you are eligible to receive, this will vary depending upon your specific situation.
