Memphis attorney Vincent Perryman discusses Personal Injury Law with Jennifer Mitchell

Memphis attorney Vincent Perryman discusses Personal Injury Law with Jennifer Mitchell and what it entails. Personal Injury covers car accidents, workers compensation law or premises liability. Premises liability involves a personal injury in a business or someone's home. Workers compensation law covers on the job injuries. If you are injured by someone else and their insurance company contacts you, before making and recorded statements to the insurance company first consult a Memphis Attorney. A Memphis attorney will help assist you in the event medical bills, lost wages, or personal injury occur due to an accident. In addition to the injured party being eligible for reimbursements due to an injury, third parties driving the injured party to and from medical visits are also due reimbursements. Property damages are generally not handled by Personal Injury attorneys since they are so cut and dry. In the event of a vehicle accident the coverage of the car is very clearly defined and does not require an attorney's assistance. When an accident occurs the injured party is entitled to the full coverage of the damages incurred due to the negligence of the offending party. If the injured party's insurance covers their expenses they will want reimbursement from the offending party's insurance company. In the event the offending party's insurance company makes a lump sum offer for damages, any expenses that have been covered by the injured party's insurance company will need to be reimbursed from this lump sum.

When searching for a Memphis Personal Injury attorney avoid direct solicitation from an attorney that does not already have a relationship with you. Solicitation is unethical in the state of Tennessee and should be reported. Before choosing a Personal Injury attorney it is a good idea to speak with the attorney. Be sure the attorney specializes in personal injury. A good Memphis personal injury attorney should have a track record of taking cases to court as well as obtaining a good settlement in favor of their client. Insurance companies have a national database of cases, clients, and their attorney's case records in insurance involvement. The insurance companies have the knowledge of an attorney and if they take the cases to trial or not. They know if the attorney settles for less than the client is entitled in an accident. Be sure the attorney communicates well with you. A good personal injury attorney will have many questions about the accident. They will not only include specific details of the accident, but also details of treatment for the accident, expenses pertaining to the accident and injury occurring because of the accident.

When a personal injury attorney deals with the offending party there are three things you can expect: 1. You will need to finish your medical treatment or reach your MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement). The personal injury attorney will collect all the records involving your treatment and medical expenses. 2. A demand letter or package is drafted by the personal injury attorney. This demand letter or package is a record of all medical records, bills, lost wages and any other details unique to your situation. For instance if a mother misses children sporting events this should be included as well. The package is then sent to the offending party's insurance company. The package should also be sent to you as well. This process takes about 3 weeks. If this process exceeds 3 weeks then the insurance company should be contacted. 3. Then their is a settlement offer or liability dispute that will be made from the insurance company. If no offer is made then a lawsuit should be filed in order to show the insurance company you are serious about your claims. Before filing the lawsuit it is good to have witness interviews, pictures, records and information well documented.
