Frequently Asked Personal Injury Questions
At The Law Offices of Vetchtein & Associates, we hear many of the same questions from our clients. Our personal injury lawyers are here to walk you through this process and answer your questions. Here are some of the most common questions we receive concerning personal injury.
-
Do I need to hire a lawyer?The short answer is yes, you need a lawyer! Filing for personal injury compensation without the counsel of an experienced attorney will not be likely to end in maximum compensation. Only a personal injury lawyer will have the knowledge and experience to know how much you deserve to receive, as well as the aggression and skill to fight for such a payout in court. Hire an attorney right away after you've been injured in an accident.
-
Who pays for my doctor bills?In a majority of personal injury cases, doctors will take the case on a “lien” basis, which is when the doctor does not require payment from the client while they are being seen. Once the settlement is paid to the injured victim, the doctor will then ask for payment.
-
Should I see a doctor after my accident?If you are injured in the accident, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. While some injuries appear instantly, others may take a few days to appear. It is best that you see a doctor following an accident to rule out any serious injuries that may have occurred during the accident.
-
What can people recover in a wrongful death claim?Survivors can recover expenses associated with their loved one’s death, such as funeral and medical costs, mental anguish, pain and suffering, and much more.
-
Can I seek monetary compensation for emotional distress?Yes, you can seek damages for emotional distress in many circumstances. Emotional damage can be just as painful as physical damage, and you have the right to earn compensation for your suffering.
