Metro Accident Claims Process

When you are filing a claim, it is because you were hurt at the fault of someone else and this accident was avoidable. We will litigate it fiercely and, if need be, go to trial for you. If you are confused about the claims process for a Metro accident, then here is a general idea of what you can expect when you file a claim with our Virginia Metro accident lawyers.

When you file a claim, you are going to be called the plaintiff. As the plaintiff, you are the injured victim who is filing against the liable party which will be determined by our investigations. An easy way to ensure that we can secure eligibility for a claim for you is to make sure you do not leave the scene of the accident without filing a report that you were there or calling on authorities to come and make a report. It can be incredibly difficult for our lawyers to prove you were there if there is no evidence showing that you were injured.

Once we determine who the liable party is through our investigations, then we are going to bring this case against them to push them to give you compensation that will cover your damages and injuries from this Metro accident. If you were harmed because of the errors that the Metro operator was guilty of, then perhaps the driver would be liable. Most of the time, we are going to be going up against big insurance companies, which is why it is so important to have Virginia metro accident lawyers with you for this claims process to ensure that your rights are protected against powerful companies like them.

We are going to be using evidence that we collect and any evidence that you may have collected in the form of photos or witness contact information. We will begin to build you a very strong case as soon as possible. We are going to represent you through this case every step of the way. We know that the liable party is going to have their team and their insurance company who is going to want to make this case disappear and we know we have to fight very hard against this to ensure that your rights are fully protected. This is something we are very familiar with.

We work tirelessly to negotiate with the insurance company to see if they can come to us with a settlement offer that fully reflects all of the damage that you’ve had to suffer through. If we are unable to come to an agreement with this insurance company, then we are going to have to look into the possibility of going to trial. Going to trial is always going to be your call. If you would like to avoid a trial and take the settlement offer even if we believe that it’s not as good as it possibly can be, then we will listen to you. We will always advise you whether or not we think that this is worth more and whether or not pushing the trial would make sense. Ultimately, it’s your choice.

Virginia Metro accident lawyers have your best interest in heart. We work to give you the results you deserve and that is our passion. We hope we can start with you in a free, first consultation right away.

How You Can Help Your Case’s Success 

We hope that we can provide you with a sense of confidence regarding your case and the success that you will have with it. Here are some tips to help you feel more confident with this.

We want you to know that you need to protect your rights to compensation and the insurance company wants to throw away your case. Virginia state laws say that if you can be blamed for any portion of this accident or any part in causing this injury to you then they can throw away your case. We encourage you not to speak to the insurance company about your case and to let your Virginia Metro accident lawyers handle communications with them so that you never give anything away to the insurance company that doesn’t need to be said. They can twist your words and force you to say things that will ruin your case. If they ask you how you are doing and you answer politely that you’re well even though you aren’t, they will claim that you told them you were fine after the accident. This would allow them to say that you don’t need compensation since you’re fine. These tricks up their sleeves cannot be effective if you don’t talk to them.

Another tip that helps most any person involved in any type of accident is to act urgently. You need to immediately seek medical care. You need to reach out to a lawyer right away. You don’t want to delay these essential steps. Your health is on the line so you need to see a doctor as soon as you can. The success of this case is at stake if you wait. Time can get away from you before you know it, especially when you’re dealing with injuries that have changed the way you live your life. It’s important to get Virginia Metro accident lawyers on your case right away so you can let them handle the hard parts and focus on yourself.

Your Claim Value

It’s common for potential clients to wonder right away how much their case is worth. After all this financial compensation is going to be your only avenue of justice for most cases. This is a very important factor for most people because not only is a Metro accident expensive to you but it can cause you a lot of grief. For that reason, you understandably want to know what your case is worth.

If you were to sit down with a lawyer who would tell you exactly how much compensation they expect to win for you the first time you meet them, that’s probably not the lawyer for you. We advise you to stay away from anyone who tells you that they can get you millions of dollars before they even know anything about your case. Determining the value of a claim relies entirely on the facts of the case. We don’t know what your maximum medical recovery is going to be during our first consultation. You want someone who is going to investigate your case thoroughly and do the hard work to figure out how much your case is worth. Our Virginia Metro accident lawyers will not be able to tell you the first time we meet you how much your case is going to be worth but, through our investigation and our work, we are going to come up with a compensation award that we believe is full and fair for your case.

The way we come up with the number for case values is by looking at two types of damages. We look at your economic and your non-economic damages.

The economic damages that we collect compensation for are all of the direct expenses related to your Metro accident. If you had extensive medical bills and ambulance fees, we are going to calculate all of those bills and fees to come up with a number that is all of the financial loss regarding your medical treatments. We are also going to be looking at if you had to miss work and lose out on wages, which is a financial loss which we will fight to receive compensation for.

If you have non-economic damages, those are going to be the more objective types of damages. They are your pain and suffering, as well as your mental anguish. Essentially when we are looking into your non-economic damages, we are looking to see how much your life has changed and been negatively affected by this Metro accident. If you suffer any type of mental illness related to your accident, such as anxiety or depression, that is going to be a contributing factor to your compensation award regarding your non-economic damages.
