slide 1: Is Your Injury Could Mean A
Very Long Recovery
slide 2: In the immediate aftermath of a serious injury it is not always
easy to take stock of the many ways that your recovery may
impact your life. Building a fair injury claim depends not only on
providing clear documentation of the medical costs the injury
incurs but also the many other areas that suffer because of the
injury.
slide 3: A settlement offer is just that — an offer. You do not have to
accept an offer if it does not truly address your needs fairly. Be
sure that you fully understand how long your recovery may take
and the ongoing needs your injury may create as you heal. If you
accept too low a settlement offer you may end up running out
of compensation before you fully heal.
slide 4: Don’t allow an insurer to push a low settlement on you because
you need to pay hospital bills. In many cases hospitals
negotiate with patients or attorneys representing patients to
allow flexibility in payment for this very reason.
slide 5: How Long Will The Recovery Take Any insurer facing a serious injury claim wants to keep the
payout as low as possible because they are all businesses with
bottom lines to consider and they find ways to avoid paying out
where they can. However you may feel about this ethically it is
generally legal but not a practice you have to accept.
slide 6: Will You Lose Some Functionality In many instances of severe injury the victim never regains full
function. In your case this may mean the loss of mobility or
may significantly impact your ability to do your work. Always
look carefully at the long-term impact of any injury and include
loss of function and its effects on your future income or
ongoing needs in your claim.
slide 7: Your future comfort and recovery depend on a strong claim that fully
demonstrates your suffering and losses. Be mindful to use all your
resources to keep your rights and future secure with a strong claim.
