Frequently Asked Questions
1. I didn’t cause the accident,
but because of it I have suffered serious painful injuries
requiring extensive medical treatment. Is it reasonable for me to
expect significant compensation for what I am going through?
Because of their sense of fair play, most
accident victims don’t realize that in
addition to payment for medical bills, lost wages and car repairs,
the insurance companies make available significant compensation
for “pain and suffering.”
2. I have received medical information releases from
the insurance company adjuster. Should I sign them?
No. An unrestricted release for medical records
should only be signed under limited circumstances. Attorney
Dale Cabler can evaluate what you have signed and revoke the signed
releases that may jeopardize your case.
3. In the past, we have used a general practice attorney
for wills or real estate transaction. Is it really necessary to
retain an attorney who specializes in accident/injury
law?
Attorney Dale Cabler works daily
with numerous insurance companies and keeps current with the specialized
laws and regulations affecting accident cases.
People don’t usually use their family doctor for brain surgery.
In the same way, it makes sense to use a personal injury
attorney who knows this area of law inside and out.
4. My medical bills are mounting and my good credit
is being jeopardized. What can I do to stop possible lawsuits and
judgments?
Attorney Dale Cabler can negotiate
with creditors and help make arrangements to stop collection and
pay your bills directly from the settlement.
5. I was a passenger injured in an
accident caused by a friend. Can I still recover
without causing the driver financial hardship?
Yes. Even if the accident was
caused by a friend or family member, the accident
victim can usually be fully compensated. A claim can be made only
for the limits of all available insurance policies.
6. I was injured in an accident
caused by an uninsured driver. My policy provides for underinsured
and uninsured coverage, but I am confused about what claims are
actually covered.
Because of the confusing nature of uninsured and
underinsured coverage, few people understand what is available
under their policies. We can advise you on what you can claim
under your specific policy.
7. I thought about negotiating my claim on my own.
How do I know if the insurance adjuster’s offer is fair and
reasonable?
You don’t. The fair settlement value of your
case may be worth several thousand dollars. Remember, the adjuster
works for the insurance company and is paid to negotiate and settle
your claim for the lowest amount of money. We are tough, aggressive
and experienced – and we only work for you! Based on other
successful settlements, we will know the real value of your claim.
8. If I hire an accident lawyer,
will my case require a jury trial?
Not usually. As an experienced accident
attorney, we can generally get the highest value
for your claim without the delay of a trial. Jury trials can delay
resolution of your claim for up to a year or longer. However,
if the insurance company will not deal fairly, they often respond
to the pressure of a request for a jury trial. We do not hesitate
to file a law suit, if necessary.
9. Can the insurance adjuster limit the medical treatment
I receive? I don’t have a family doctor, and I may need specialized
medical treatment.
The insurance company is legally obligated to compensate
you for reasonable medical treatment with the best medical care
available, up to the limits of the policy. If needed, Attorney
Dale Cabler may be able to assist you in finding appropriate medical
care. In some cases delayed payment arrangements may be availible
for those who have no health insurance.
10. Why does the insurance adjuster recommend that
I not hire an attorney?
Probably because insurance settlements handled without
a plaintiff lawyer are usually significantly
lower. Many people make settling their claim a “do-it-yourself”
project to try and save money. But why gamble? There is never
an attorney fee unless we win a settlement for you.
