Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury
These matters can be overwhelming and often leave a lot of unanswered questions. A personal injury attorney from our firm can provide comprehensive and thoughtful answers to all your questions. Here are the answers to some commonly asked questions for you to begin familiarizing yourself with personal injury before speaking with one of our lawyers.
What Will My Compensation Cover?
At Douglas Jennings Law Firm, LLC, getting you full, fair compensation is one of our top priorities. Compensation is usually determined based on the circumstances of your accident, similar past cases and the related costs of the aftermath. It can be used to cover medical bills, lost wages, property damage repairs and long-term expenses associated with your injury. In South Carolina, you can also receive compensation to cover noneconomic damages. These are damages associated with — for example, pain and suffering and emotional harm done by your accident.
What Evidence Will Help My Claim?
Gathering the appropriate evidence can immeasurably help a personal injury claim. Information like police reports, photos and videos, witness interviews and testimony, and expert testimony can be used to support your personal injury claim. Our attorneys can help you gather and sort through evidence in order to create a compelling case.
What Are The First Steps I Should Take?
It’s most important to seek medical attention immediately after an accident. Tending to obvious injuries and ensuring your safety is most relevant and should be your top priority. Then, if you can, gather evidence from the scene and get the names and contact information of any possible witnesses. Make note of any video cameras (public or private) in the area which might have captured evidence which would be helpful, and any reasonable steps to preserve and obtain this evidence. Take photos and videos and talk with any possible witnesses. Make sure to file a police report, too.
Even if you do not have obvious injuries, you should be examined by a medical professional. Some injuries can stay hidden but cause problems down the road. Be sure to keep careful documentation of all medical services you receive.
Finally, as soon as you can, contact an experienced attorney who can help with your case.
