How much compensation am I entitled to after my injury?
This depends on many different factors. Did the injury inhibit your ability to work? Are you suffering ongoing affects - physical, mental, emotional - from the injury? Did it lead to permanent or long-lasting disability and disfigurement? All of these factors and more will play into your final compensation, if in fact your claim is successful.
I may have been partially at fault - does this mean I can't pursue compensation?
No. Even if the accident was not 100% the fault of another party, you may still be entitled to some form of compensation. Discuss this with our Victoria personal injury attorneys at The Daspit Law Firm.
The insurance company is asking me to sign something. What should I do?
Never sign anything in relation to your accident or injury before speaking with an attorney. You could damage your case and relinquish your right to full restitution. The priority of the insurance company is not to pay you what you deserve. Protect your future by consulting with an attorney who will make a point of looking out for your best interests.
What should I remember at the scene of an accident?
Remember not to make any statements or confessions of blame. You do not have sufficient information to make such a statement, and doing so could jeopardize your claim. If you are in sufficient health to do so, document everything you can about the accident. Take pictures of the crash site, injuries sustained, and damage to vehicles involved. Write down names and phone numbers of individuals involved. Write down everything you remember about the accident, as soon as you get a chance. Get the medical help you need, and speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
