Most Important! – Seek Medical Attention For Your Injuries

Were you injured in a car accident? The first thing you should do is seek medical attention for any injuries sustained in a car accident. Once you are physically able to, start writing down everything that happened in the car accident. Include anything you observed that may have contributed to the cause of the accident. This is not the time to be critical of your writing, jot down everything you can remember and sort it out later. If it helps, you can draw diagrams, sketches, anything that will help you remember and explain the situation.

Build a Strong Case For Compensation Immediately After the Car Accident

The smartest thing you can do to strengthen your car accident claim is to document everything. And, by everything, we mean every detail. Take pictures of the accident, specifically, the damaged portions of each vehicle. Also, get pictures of the surrounding areas, in case a dangerous condition may have contributed to the crash.

Retain All Medical Bills and Expenses

It is paramount to keep proof of every medical expense if you intend to be reimbursed for that expense as a condition of your car accident settlement or claim. You should also keep receipts for any and all out-of-pocket expenses, again, in order to be reimbursed for money spent.

Documenting your injuries also helps your car accident attorney to prove the seriousness of your injuries. Without documentation, the responsible party may claim that you were never injured at all, and it’s your word against theirs unless you have some concrete evidence. Request a copy of your medical records, or at least request the section of your records that shows the treatment you received for your injuries after the car accident.

The Insurance Adjuster is Not On Your Side

Remember, the insurance adjuster is being paid by the insurance company. The insurance company makes its money by collecting premiums, not by paying accidents or injury settlements. It is very common for an insurance company to offer a settlement they are comfortable with, but you may be entitled to more. Studies have shown that people who hire an accident attorney receive consistently larger settlement amounts than people who try to fight the insurance company themselves.

I was in a very bad/ major car accident I originally had an attorney who wasn’t trying to help me out much or take any of my calls so I called Tiemann and told them my situation. They made it an AWESOME and Smooth transition over to them and took on both cases I had. I just settled on my big case and am beyond great full. For them and their team! I highly recommend them. To add on to this a little On how much they will work with you, I moved to Montana in the middle of all Of this and it was not an issue!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
