How To Get The Most For Your Injury Claim From Your Insurance

How To Get The Most For Your Injury Claim From Your Insurance

It is often painful to financial health to be in a major car accident when personal injury claims are not properly processed, leaving victims of car accidents in a pit of debt.  One of the first steps to take when you incur injuries is to have a quality legal team of attorneys who can guide you through the injury claim and recovery process.

Dennis & King Law is one of Chattanooga’s most well-known firms that specialize in personal injury claims for automobile accidents and trucking accidents.

Sometimes accidents are not our fault. Sometimes they partly are. Having car accident lawyers to help work through the mess that often follows an accident can remove some of the burdens that you might be feeling. Dennis & King specialize in helping clients after they experience a major accident on the roadway. There are different types of accident cases that might happen.

Car Insurance Coverage Types For Injury Claims

Before seeking compensation for your car accident claim, you should understand which types of coverage will apply to your personal injuries.

The different types of insurance claims you may be covered under include:

  • Bodily Injury Liability Coverage: Bodily injury liability coverage is provided is applied when the other driver is at fault for the car accident. In cases like these, your own liability policy will NOT cover your personal injuries.
  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP): PIP is most commonly called “no-fault insurance”, which differs from liability, where PIP insurance pays for your medical costs up to the policy’s limits (regardless if you are at fault or not).
  • Medical payments coverage (MPC): MPC pays for medical expenses (medical bills only) regardless of who is at fault. MPC is similar to PIP with the exception that it does not cover funeral expenses, lost income, or loss of services.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This type of insurance is applied to bodily injury claims when you’ve been either the victim of a hit and run accident, or hit by a driver who possesses either no insurance or all or limitations for paying personal injury compensation that does not cover the personal injury expenses you’ve incurred.

Dennis & King Law will speak with you over what you are entitled to receive during the trial.  If the accident was not your fault, having the facts of the case clearly noted will put you at an advantage when determining your case in court.  Dennis & King have an info page on their website that refers to steps that you can take to keep your body healthy after an accident.

Protecting Your Finances After A Car Accident

Saving some money on the side in an emergency fund can help when these things occur.  The insurance company can often get you some reimbursement payment for car damage. Having the information about the accident very clear is good for the insurance call as well.

Dennis and King look forward to serving you and your family.  Our goal is that you will walk away from this accident much better and in a healthier condition.  A vehicle accident is a tragedy that no one likes to see happen.  Lawyers like Dennis & King are in business to make sure that your needs are not ignored.

Personal injury 

In almost all personal injury claims, insurance companies will offer you significantly less than what you deserve. It’s tempting to accept the first offer, especially if you are in a great deal of pain and unable to return to work. But if you’ve already taken a devalued settlement from the insurance company and your medical bills start to pile up, there’s little legal recourse to ask for more. That’s why it’s crucial to involve a Chattanooga personal injury lawyer before you even file a claim.

Trucking Accidents

Truck accidents in the United States are on the rise. Recent statistics show that almost 150,000 people are injured in truck accidents each year, and 6,000 people are killed. The regional area of Georgia and Tennessee is a crossroads and a center for car manufacturing, river traffic, and other industries. Large trucks, semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles are constantly on the road. This has a downside as frequent truck accidents occur on I-75, I-24, I-59, Highway 153, U.S. 27, Amnicola Highway, Corridor J, and other roadways. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Georgia or Tennessee truck accident, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.

ATV Accidents

Under both Tennessee and Georgia law, ATVs are not authorized for use on paved road, but children continue to bring ATVs on to our roads and highways. Georgia and Tennessee laws also prohibit the carrying of passengers on most ATVs, require children below the age of 16 to take approved ATV training courses, and require kids younger than 16 to wear helmets, eye protection, and over-the-ankle boots when operating ATVs. However, these requirements apply only when ATVs are operated on public lands, leaving kids essentially without protection when riding ATVs on private property.

Bicycle Accidents

The most tragic type of bicycle crash is a bike-car collision. Cyclists are completely defenseless traveling on 30-pound bikes when they’re surrounded by 3,000-pound cars and trucks racing by them. Pedestrians, defective bike parts, recalled bike helmets, and other ineffective bicycle safety equipment can also cause bicycle accidents. Bike accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.

About Bicycle Accidents >

Boating Accidents

One of three factors usually cause boat accidents: an inexperienced boater, an intoxicated operator, or a boat malfunction. More than a third of both fatal and non-fatal boat accidents are alcohol-related. It is estimated that boat operators with a blood alcohol content of .10 or higher are 10 times more likely to be injured or killed in a boat accident than sober operators.
