What is negligence?

Lawyer Franks: Negligence is when someone has an unintentional mishap. If an individual smacks your face, that wasn't an accident. However, if they bump into you in a group of people, that wasn't deliberate. Negligence implies they really did not mean for a certain consequence to occur, yet as a result of their fault, it happened.

Somebody's negligence creates an accident. Who pays my medical expenses?

Attorney Franks: Our goal is to make sure the other side pays your doctor bills. They might pay your medical bills straight away, or they can provide you cash to pay your medical bills after the fact. Many customers have health insurance they make use of throughout this procedure until the issue is resolved. Various other times, we collaborate with regional medical professionals to provide you treatment on what's called a letter of protection. That means they don't invoice you up until settlement of your situation.

Do I still have a claim if my medical insurance pays my medical bills?

Attorney Franks: Yes. But after that, you might need to go back and repay the medical insurance firm for anything they paid once you receive a reimbursement.

Can the health insurance provider file a lien against my case?

Attorney Franks: They will certainly send out a letter to your personal injury attorney, letting them recognize they have an investment, and the lawyer will certainly notate the documents. We'll negotiate with your medical insurance company to lower the quantity owed.

What's my case worth?

Every instance is different but valuable. A customer that's hurt via someone else's negligence has a valuable case. The worth is different depending upon scenarios and facts. We do our best to recuperate as much as possible for our customers.

We sort of questions do they ask me in a deposition?

Lawyer Franks: Depositions start with very standard questions like, what's your name, where do you reside, and also how long have you lived there? Then they inquire about the mishap and also attempt to get at what occurred. They additionally want to know about treatment you received and losses received. Nevertheless, deposition is not necessary unless we have to file a suit. We usually resolve the situation before it reaches that.

Who conducts the deposition?

Attorney Franks: The lawyer for the insurer. You and I present, along with the other lawyer, as well as a court reporter. If a question is improper, I'll offer an objection. Once the other attorney has actually completed, I'll ask you some questions as your personal injury attorney. The other lawyer might have a few follow-up questions. You may not be the only one to be deposed, as we have a right to depose the other party in the mishap.

For how long does a lawsuit take?

Attorney Franks: It'll depend on how long you have treatment and also other elements. A suit can take 1 or 2 years, which's why we attempt to take care of issues without filing suit. The courts are behind, as well as it sets you back even more money and time to go to trial. You can expect someplace in 2 to three month area, after you've finished therapy, to understand if we need to go to trial. However, we do our best to obtain the maximum amount from the insurer without litigating.
