Three Step Carroll County Car Accident Injury Settlement Process

First, you must be treated for your injuries.  Usually, victims of car accidents are initially treated at Carroll Hospital.  However, it is crucial that your follow up with additional treatment if needed.  Medical treatment is the foundation by which all personal injury claims are built.  If you are not injured, then you don’t have a claim.  Therefore, after your car accident it is important that you seek immediate medical attention.  If you delay your treatment, then the insurance company may not pay your claim.  If you don’t have a primary care physician, then Albers & Associates is happy to refer you to several medical providers for a consultation and treatment.

Next, after you finishing treating your attorney will collect your medical bills and records.  Before you can submit a settlement demand to an insurance company it is important that your attorney has all of your medical documents.  You don’t want to enter settlement negotiations if you are missing bills or other items that you can claim as damages, such as lost wages.  Here, at Albers & Associates, with your consent, your attorney will request your medical bills and records and pay the cost to collect these documents.

Finally, your attorney will submit your medical bills and records to the insurance company as a part of a settlement demand.  Typically, it takes insurance companies 30 days to review personal injury claims before they will make a settlement offer.  Upon receiving the initial settlement offer, Albers & Associates will communicate with you regarding a counter-offer.  Settlement negotiations can be wrapped up in about 30 days depending on the complexity of your auto collision claim.
