Navigating Personal Injury Claims: How Snellings Law Advocates for Accident Victims
At Snellings Law, we understand the overwhelming challenges faced by accident victims. From premature settlement offers to complex medical needs, our team is committed to guiding you through every step of the process. Below, we address many clients’ key pain points and share how we help protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
1. Premature Settlement Offers (Swoop and Settle)
After an accident, insurance adjusters may offer a fast payout before you know the full extent of your injuries. These offers often cover only what they consider “reasonable” medical costs, ignoring actual expenses and future care. Adjusters may also try to record verbal agreements. These can be legally binding and limit your ability to seek further help.
Our Approach: At Snellings Law, we advise against accepting early settlement offers or giving recorded statements without a lawyer. We handle all communication with insurance companies to protect your rights.
Our team carefully reviews your injuries and fights for a fair resolution, including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
2. Verbal Agreements Can Be Legally Binding
Many people don’t realize that a recorded verbal agreement with an insurance adjuster can hold legal weight. You may accidentally give up your right to more compensation—even if new injuries appear later.
Our Approach: We educate clients on the risks of verbal agreements and ensure all settlements are properly reviewed and documented. Our attorneys negotiate fair deals that protect clients’ rights.
3. Delayed Awareness of Injuries
Some injuries, like stiffness, numbness, or pain that spreads, take weeks to appear. You may not be covered for these later-developing symptoms if you settle too soon.
Our Approach: We stress the importance of getting checked by a doctor immediately and attending follow-up appointments. We work with medical professionals to document delayed injuries and include them in your claim.
4. Inadequate Initial Medical Evaluation
Quick assessments may miss serious issues like neck, back, or disc injuries. Ignoring symptoms like numbness or tingling can lead to long-term damage.
Our Approach: Snellings Law connects clients with experienced doctors who provide thorough exams. We push for necessary tests, like MRIs, to find hidden injuries and ensure you get proper treatment.
5. Specialized Medical Treatment Needs
Some injuries need care from specialists like neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, or pain management doctors. Without help, getting the proper treatment can be difficult or expensive.
Our Approach: We work with trusted medical experts to ensure you receive the necessary care. Whether it’s physical therapy, pain treatments, or surgery, we work to hold the insurance company responsible for all of your treatment.
6. Range of Medical Treatment Options
Accident injuries often require different types of care, such as chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, surgery, or pain management. Insurance companies may not always cover all of these costs.
Our Approach: We carefully track all your recommended treatments and their costs. By showing the complete picture of your medical care, we fight for a resolution that covers your immediate and long-term needs.
7. Specific Injury Types and Impact Scenarios
Specific injuries, such as rotator cuff tears or knee damage, are common in particular types of accidents. However, they may be overlooked or downplayed by adjusters. For instance, rear-end collisions often result in shoulder injuries, while under-dashboard impacts can cause significant knee trauma.
Our Approach: Snellings Law works with medical experts and accident specialists to prove how your injuries happened. We ensure these details are included in your claim to get the resolution you deserve.
8. Challenges with Insurance Adjusters
Insurance adjusters often question whether an accident actually caused an injury. They may claim your injuries don’t match the accident or blame pre-existing conditions instead of the crash.
Our Approach: We work with doctors and accident experts to prove that the crash caused your injuries. Even if you had a pre-existing condition, we show how the accident worsened it. Our attorneys fight to hold the at-fault party responsible.
9. Exacerbation of Pre-Existing Conditions
Insurance companies may try to blame your pain or injuries on aging or past health issues, ignoring how the accident made them worse. This can make it harder to get a fair resolution.
Our Approach: We use the Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine, which says a negligent party is responsible for worsening a pre-existing condition. Our team gathers strong medical evidence to prove how the accident affected your health.
10. Unique Medical Situations
People with severe health conditions—like organ transplants or chronic illnesses—may face extra risks after an accident. Insurance companies may try to avoid responsibility for these complications.
Our Approach: At Snellings Law, we recognize these unique challenges and ensure your injuries are fully documented. We also build a strong case to hold all negligent parties accountable for the harm they caused.
11. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Traumatic brain injuries are often missed after accidents, especially when symptoms like memory loss, fatigue, or light sensitivity appear later. Severe brain trauma, like coup-contrecoup or shearing injuries, can have long-term effects.
Our Approach: We work with brain injury specialists to diagnose TBIs early. We ensure your claim includes all long-term medical needs, therapy, and the emotional impact of the injury to get the resolution you deserve.
