Being involved in an accident can change your life. Your livelihood can be turned upside down, financially, physically, and emotionally, It is not uncommon for an accident to cause fractures, whiplash, or even
brain damage. These injuries can require medical care that costs thousands of dollars. You may become unable to go back to work immediately and as a result, you lose out on income. The sitaution is compounded if you are supporting a family. Where do you look for advice? The internet has certain legal resources for people involved in crashes, but it isn't always accurate. Contacting an
Arkansas accident injury lawyer may be the smartest move, right from the start.
Who is going to pay for my medical bills? If you have health insurance, then your bills should be covered. Do NOT let your medical bills be submitted to the at-fault party's car insurance. When this happens, you are short-changed money; compensation that is due to you in accordance with Arkansas law.
What types of settlement can I expect? That is a very difficult question to answer, especially before you have obtained complete medical care for your injuries. After all, you don't want to begin negotiations until you know what damages you are negotaiting for. This is something we preach heavily to our clients. Any lawyer that tells you what your case is with on the first meeting is either not an expert in injury law or is lying.
How can I get medical treatment if I don't have health insurance? Our injury attorneys have contacts with local physicians in Little Rock, Jonesboro, Bentonville, and other cities in Arkansas. These physicians may be willing to provide you with competent medical treatment and not charge you until your injury claim is resolved by the Arkansas Injury Law Center. After all, the number one most important thing is your good medical care.
How long does this whole process take? The lawyers in our office work aggressively to pursue the at-fault parties and obtain maximum compensation from all avenues of recovery. Equally important, we seek a settlement that covers all aspects of our client's damages, including lost wages, pain and suffering, and any potential future surgical costs. The length of the process varies from case to case, but generally you case can be resolved within a few months. However, some of our serious injury or death cases can last years.
An Arkansas car accident lawyer at our Injury Law Center will meet with you to discuss every aspect of your case. You will meet with an actual attorney, not a paralegal or "case screener." This process ensures that each client is provided personal experience from the very start of each case.
