I don’t know if I was injured after an accident. What should I do?
A common and disturbing problem some people face after an auto accident is not recognizing their injuries until hours or even days after the incident. These injuries may either go unnoticed because of internal bodily harm or because of adrenaline that clouds a person’s ability to feel pain. If a person is uncertain, they may still want to be examined by a doctor.
If a person receives an examination after an accident and reveals an injury, they may want to consider a lawsuit to have their injury treatment costs covered. To learn more about the legal options that may make this possibility a reality, contact the Milwaukee car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. at 800-242-2874 today.
The other driver’s insurer is asking for my medical records. Should I release them?
In some cases, a driver’s insurance adjuster may want full access to your medical records. However, this information is guarded under powerful privacy laws and should only be given out if absolutely necessary. Before giving away this information, a person should consider a consultation with a personal injury attorney to learn more about their options when handling their medical information.
A car accident can leave someone with serious physical and emotional injuries to overcome. Compensation can help manage these problems, taking care of practical expenses that may otherwise burden an injured motorist. For more information about compensation and personal injury lawsuits, contact the Milwaukee auto accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. by calling 800-242-2874 today.
Can I file for compensation if I wasn’t wearing a seat belt?
When a person is injured in a car accident, they need to prove that they tried to prevent injuries the best they could. Wearing a seat belt is often cited as a first step for injury prevention in a car accident. This means that not wearing a seat belt can significant weaken a person’s claim for compensation. However, they may still have a case.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you may be eligible to pursue a lawsuit against the person or people responsible. To discuss your options after a car accident that’s left you with serious financial problems because of an injury, contact the Milwaukee car accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. today by calling 800-242-2874.
