10 Do’s and Don’ts of Your Indiana Injury Claim(Part B)

5 Don'ts When Filing an Indiana Injury Claim

DON'T agree to any settlement - your insurance company will give you an estimate for filing an Indiana injury claim but you should not agree to a final amount until you have spoken with your Indiana injury lawyer. Insurance companies hate giving away their money and they will try saving as much as they can by giving you the minimum amount for your injuries.

• DON'T sign any checks - after filing an Indiana injury claim, your insurance company may send you checks in the mail. Do not sign the checks and cash them in, especially if they say "final check". Once you have cashed these checks in, you will not be able to receive any more compensation for your injuries and damages.
• DON'T consent to release waivers - your insurance company may ask you for your medical records to make a final settlement but in reality your insurance company is looking for other medical information to use against you, such as a pre-existing condition.
• DON'T wait - in Indiana there are statutes of limitations you must follow. After you have been involved in an Indiana car accident, you have a time limit for filing an Indiana injury claim and you may have a time limit to receive compensation for your insurance company.
• DON'T be a pushover -insurance companies will manipulate you into trusting them. They use this tactic to get more information out of you so they can use it against your Indiana injury claim.

When talking to your insurance company after you have been involved in an Indiana car accident, have a mindset that less is more. Contacting an Indiana injury lawyer is always the best idea when you're filing an Indiana injury claim. Your Indiana injury lawyer will explain to you legal aspects of filing an Indiana injury claim and what you could be compensated for. Your Indiana injury lawyer will help you pursue the compensation you need for your injuries and damages and any persisting complication due to your Indiana car accident.
