Under Settling In Personal Injury Cases (Third Party Capture)

jewellery asked:

Some insurers may be quick to contact claimants directly to make an early offer to settle a personal injury claim. This is a procedure known as ‘third party capture’.

Access to Justice

A key tenet to any smoothly functioning legal system is the principle of access to justice. This principle is as important in the world of personal injury claims as it is in anywhere else.

It is important that potential claimants are able to obtain independent legal advice and guidance to help them navigate the system.

People need to know that there is nothing wrong in an injured person receiving appropriate accident compensation for injuries, loss of earnings or rehabilitation bills, all of which can mount up if a person is injured in an accident that was not their fault.

Again, it is important that they have the chance to speak to a legal representative who can assure them – and reassure them – of their rights.

The majority of insurers, like the majority of personal injury lawyers, are completely responsible. Some, however, are not – and they will attempt to get to an accident victim before that person has a chance to gather their thoughts and assess their rights.

In these situations, it is not unlikely that an offer may be made – an out of court settlement – that will no doubt feel attractive.

Money in the hand can seem like the easy, more convenient option – but can also be difficult for someone with no legal experience to know that they are not being ‘under-settled’.

Under-settling is the danger to victims of third party capture. If an insurer swoops in and offers money, an accident victim must have the chance to speak to an independent legal professional to make sure that the compensation is correct.

This is not a case of being greedy – if a person does face mounting hospital bills or a long spell out of work, they need to know how much help they are entitled to.

Likewise, it is not for the insurers of businesses who have lapsed in their health and safety responsibilities to negotiate a better deal for these companies. An aspect of compensation is that it is punitive and sends a message to other employers or businesses that they will be hit in the pocket if they fail to protect their staff, or others in their care.

Again, that is wholly appropriate – right and fair.

To ensure proper access to justice, anyone who is considering making a compensation claim should speak to a legal expert. Even if they arrange to meet an insurer – that insurer is obliged to inform them that they have every right to legal representation. They should always avail themselves of that right.

People who have suffered personal injury through no fault of their own need to be aware of their rights. They should be able to claim the fuull amount they are entitled to as a result of their injury, and it is important that they know what to do to access that compensation, and that this information is not hidden from them.

If You Have Been Injured, Seek A Denver Auto Accident Attorney

jewellery asked:

Car accidents happen, unfortunately, on a regular basis around the country.  People jump in their vehicles and head out to work, to pick up the kids and transport them to various after-school activities, or to run to the store, and in any of those instances when you are out driving you are also out on the road with other drivers, some of which can be reckless.  If, through no fault of your own, your automobile, truck, motorcycle or person has been injured in an auto accident, you will want to contact a Denver Auto Accident Attorney to see about recouping some of your losses.  

I Can’t Afford A Lawyer

Although it can be costly to hire a lawyer to represent your personal injury claim in court, it need not be.  If you select a Denver accident attorney who offers payment on a contingency fee basis, you will not need to pay any fees upfront, and none at all if the Denver Car Accident Attorney does not win your case.  If your denver accident attorney does win, then the Denver auto accident attorney’s fees are paid as a percentage of the award, which is agreed upon prior to legal work commencing.  So even if you have no money for a Denver accident attorney, you can still be able to have superior representation before other parties or in a court of law.

What Can A Denver Car Accident Attorney Do For Me?

A Denver auto accident attorney will often offer a free initial consultation to hear your claim, and then he or she will let you know how strong your case is.  If the Denver auto accident attorney firm believes your case is strong, they will take it on.  After this, your Denver car accident attorney will ask for any information you may have collected concerning the case.  This can include police reports that might have been filed on the day of the accident, as well as medical information such as what injuries you have sustained, including whiplash injuries, and medical treatments that you have had performed as a result of your auto accident injuries.  After this and other research into the case, your Denver accident attorney will prepare your claim.

Your Denver auto accident attorney will first meet with the other party and try to negotiate an out-of-court settlement.  This can often be successful, and quicker than going through a court proceeding.  If, however, this is not successful, then your Denver car accident attorney will represent you and present your claim in court before a judge.  The judge will decide the case, and if your Denver auto accident attorney is successful, you will receive a monetary award for your injuries and loss of employment during the recovery period, among other awards that might be pertinent to your case.  It is best to consult with a Denver accident attorney personally in order to determine the strength of your claim and to receive personalized legal advice.
