When these factors are involved in your personal injury case, the sooner you file your claim, the better. Here we explain why.

Serious injury

Serious injuries generally mean more extensive and expensive medical treatments, as well as greater losses in terms of:

• Permanent impairments
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term impacts on quality of life
• Inability to work and the associated loss of income.

Preservation of evidence

When there may be problems obtaining or preserving the evidence in a case, filing a personal injury claim as soon as possible can help ensure that:

• As much evidence as possible is preserved (for example, a video of the facility, occupational injury property status, data on CDRs and vehicle black boxes, etc.).
• The injured party has the best opportunity to build the strongest possible claim.

For example, after a truck accident, filing a claim can help prevent a motor carrier from removing crucial evidence, such as (but not limited to):

• Remains of the accident
• Truck maintenance records
• Registers of controllers kept by external providers
• Videos of the dashcam (camera loaded in the vehicle)
• Employee hiring records
• Charging invoices
• And much more.

Insurer’s negligence

When it’s time to recover from an accident, don’t expect insurers to be watching over you, your rights, or your claim. Insurers generally protect their employer and earnings. And that generally means they could do their best to try to:

• Avoid the matter and go around
• Delay your case
• Neglect your claim
• Avoid paying him what he may deserve.

When these unclear tactics come into play, filing a personal injury case with the help of an experienced attorney is the best way to protect your potential compensation rights.

Disclaimer of liability

When a guilty party refuses to accept responsibility, filing a personal injury lawsuit is critical to holding that party liable. The act of filing your claim will:

• Formalize the process
• Force a guilty party to demonstrate that he was not responsible
• Give you the right to certain evidence that the guilty party may have, such as records, images or other elements

Filing your claim as soon as possible is also important when a guilty party can accept some guilt, but also try to blame it to some extent.…
