FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A: Contrary to popular opinion, personal injury lawyers will not take any case out of sheer greed. In fact, we do not get paid at all if we don’t win.

You can schedule a free case review to discuss your case with our knowledgeable legal team and get honest answers about whether taking legal action is right for you.

A: Insurers usually aren’t watching out for the best interest of victims when it comes to compensating them after an accident. Instead, the insurance company protects its interests by offering a much lower settlement than most accident victims need to recover from their injuries. To get the most compensation possible, hire an experienced personal injury attorney. Your lawyer can advise you on maximizing your compensation and will represent you when negotiating with insurance companies and in court.

A: Yes! Accident victims are entitled to compensation for time lost at work because of their injuries.

A: Car accident victims may face a wide range of painful injuries. Even minor injuries, like whiplash, can cause great pain and suffering and could keep you from working and enjoying your life. Neck injuries, such as whiplash, are among the most common injuries seen in car accidents. However, a wreck can also cause broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage, leading to expensive medical treatment and missed time at work.

A: While economic damages are easy to calculate because they represent items that you would pay for and receive a receipt, non-economic damages are more difficult to define. However, these damages are equally important in a personal injury case because of the damage they cause victims. Some examples of non-economic damages are emotional distress, depression, anxiety, mental trauma, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement. If you think you are entitled to non-economic damages for your injuries, call Armada Law today.

A: One of the most important pieces of evidence when collecting damages for personal injuries is the police report. For this reason, and because you are legally required to by law, it is essential to contact law enforcement whenever you’re in a motor vehicle accident. Some other powerful items that can be used as evidence include eyewitness accounts, surveillance footage, photos of the scene of the crash, and testimonies of accident reconstructionists who recreate the crash scene. Finally, you may also need to provide documentation of your injuries by submitting medical records and bills from doctors, hospitals, and specialists.
