What to Do After Your Accident

If you are thinking about pursuing compensation after a skull fracture, you can take steps to protect yourself and begin building a case.

You should:

  • Keep copies of your medical expenses.
  • Get a copy of the police accident report if there is one.
  • Avoid talking to insurance companies or making any statements, including recorded statements.
  • Not accept the first settlement offer. We can review it before you make any final decisions.

Now you can think seriously about contacting a lawyer and filing a personal injury suit.

Types of Compensation

Generally, the damages in a personal injury case can be divided into two categories. Economic damages reimburse you for bills and the income you missed due to your injuries. Non-economic damages cover your pain and suffering, which are the intangible ways the accident affects you and your loved ones. A fair compensation offer should include economic and non-economic damages. Your compensation should help you pay:

Your medical bills:

The costs of treating a skull fracture can quickly begin to add up. Depending on the severity of your injury, you could be looking at long hospital stays and a need for physical therapy or prescription medications. Your compensation should help you pay off these bills in full.

Lost income:

If your skull fracture prevents you from working for days, weeks, or even months, that can create serious financial stress for you and your family. Few households can adapt to the loss of a paycheck for an extended time, so your compensation must make up for this lost income.

Future care costs:

If you need continued medical care for a skull fracture, these costs should be reflected in your compensation offer.

Loss of earning potential:

Your injury could prevent you from working in the same job or in the same industry. It may even prevent you from working at all. When this is the case, your compensation needs to make up for your lost earning potential.

Pain and suffering:

Your compensation should cover past and future pain and suffering you and your family experience because of your accident.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.
