    Acting According To The Law After An Injury

    1. First and foremost, seek immediate medical treatment. Too often, accident victims delay seeing a medical professional because they hope their aches will go away by themselves or because they don't want to take the time out of holiday festivities to get a proper medical evaluation.

    But sometimes serious injuries do not immediately present due to the shock and disorientation that follow an accident. The best precaution is always to be evaluated by a competent medical professional.

    2. Neither accept nor assign blame on the spot. In the immediate aftermath of an accident, it is no time to try and make clear-headed evaluations of who did what. Often "fault" does not become evident until a third-party, trained investigator can consider all the facts. Only after that can an experienced legal adviser assess your case.

    Accident victims should cooperate to the best of their ability with on-scene law enforcement personnel. But stick to the facts as you know them, without assigning those facts value judgments such as whose fault you think the accident was.

    3. Get to know and trust a personal injury lawyer before you ever need one. The immediate aftermath of an injury-related accident is not an ideal time to go "shopping" for an attorney. Look for an experienced lawyer who will fight to protect all of your legal and financial interests. It might be wise to keep the name of the attorney and law firm in your vehicle with your insurance papers.

    4. Do not discuss a "settlement" of your injury claims without first consulting a qualified personal injury attorney. Legal representatives are your advocates who will ensure that you do not forfeit your legal rights by settling prematurely with insurance companies or those who have caused your injuries.

    5. Drive defensively. The best way to deal with an injury accident is to avoid it in the first place. Remember to leave extra space between your car and others in inclement weather. Be extra careful at intersections, where other drivers may not be able to stop on iced roads or may run lights due to in-car distractions. And, of course, never drive after you yourself have been drinking. Even if you are not legally drunk, alcohol may slow your reaction times.

    Shop Around For Legal Representation You Can Trust

    Injury and accident victims need to realize that they may be sitting on a gold mine. Although the nature of these situations is a very ugly one, one must keep reality and check. The reality is that getting hurt is devastating and psychologically can really tire one out. However, despite the fact that times are tough one must fight for the workers or injury compensation that the law entitles them. One should give themselves a few days or weeks to clear their head after an accident and then begin the hint for legal representation. Finding a qualified attorney for accidents and injuries is not like finding a regular lawyer. These cases can be worth millions and only the top personal injury lawyers will cut it. You must use popular lawyer finders like AVVO which have real reviews and real referrals from other attorneys. Beware of sites that use fake reviews and have no quality control. Search and then search more. Ask around and then ask around again. After you have found the one you are comfortable with you can sit back and let them do all the work.

    Does Your Injury Or Medical Condition Warrant Disability


    So, lets say you try researching the social security disability process -- at some point you’ll realize it is a heck of a lot more complicated than just contacting the social security office and telling them that your are disabled and unable to return to your current job.


    These laws are a compilation of hundreds -- if not thousands -- of regulations, cases, and rulings that are used to interpret those laws. The biggest issue faced though is that there are only a few lawyers that actually practice in this area of the law mainly due to the fact that it is complicated, time consuming, and a nightmare to navigate if you don't have a good expertise and first-hand experience.


    As mentioned, SSD (social Security Disability) law is complicated and the legal fees alone are usually quite low for a lawyer with the cases being very time consuming. Most lawyers that do practice in this specific field do so because, even though its the primary cause of their migraines, they understand just how important it is for folks who don't have anyone else to turn too. Unfortunately, the disability that they have has turned their life upside down and, if they already haven't, are now at risk of losing everything because they are unable to work. The hard part is that even though you are entitled to the benefits, its still gonna be a hard fight.


    Now, lets say you have made the decision to hire a social security disability lawyer and pursue disability for your injury, the first question to answer would be “what is the first thing I should look for?” That would be experience.


    Experience is the most important thing when it comes to a disability lawyer, you don't want a lawyer who "occasionally" takes on a social security case, because you are going to have a higher chance of losing. You need a lawyer who practices mainly in social security disability.


    Another good practice is to be familiar with your pain causing or medical condition that is causing your disability, or at least be willing to take the time to familiarize yourself with it. One of the biggest points a lawyer makes is that he can't fully advocate your position to the judge if he doesn't even fully understand your condition himself. Additionally, he should be willing to take on your case on a "contingent fee" basis.


    So what is a contingent fee? It basically means that if the lawyer doesn't win your case he doesn't get paid. The standard legal fee for a Social Security Lawyer is 25% of all back dated benefits, but wont exceed more than $5,300.00 in total.


    Honestly, it doesn't matter where your disability lawyer is located, if he is a member of the bar in any state he retains the right to practice in front of any social security law judge. One nice thing though is that its not nearly as important as it used to be since a large part of the hearings are done via video conferences with the judge possibly being on the other side of the country.


    In the end, if you have all your "ducks in a row" the process can go quite smoothly. Just make sure you look for the right lawyer.
