Indianapolis Bodily Injury Attorney
In an automobile accident, involved parties can sustain injuries ranging from cuts and bruises to permanent disability. A bodily injury claim involves an accident in which negligence or liability can be assigned to an individual involved in the accident. They are responsible for covering the damages (for both personal property and personal injury) sustained by all individuals involved. If you have been injured in an automobile accident, you will most likely be dealing primarily with the responsible party’s insurance company to receive your compensation.

Dealing with a Insurance Claims Adjuster
When an accident occurs, you will have to speak to a claims adjuster who will assess the damages and decide what compensation you will receive. Typically, you will be asked questions about your medical history and injuries you received because of the accident. They will most likely include questions such as:
- What injuries did you receive as a result of the accident?
- What injuries did you have prior to the accident?
- What medical care did you receive following the accident?
- What was the total cost of your medical expenses?
- Were you undergoing medical treatment for any long-term injuries or illnesses prior to the accident?
- Are you still experiencing pain and / or seeking treatment as a result of the accident?
While these questions may seem easy to answer by yourself, it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible following an accident to ensure that you receive all due compensation for your injuries.
Remember – claims adjusters work for the insurance company, and their goal is to pay you as little money as possible. An experienced bodily injury claim lawyer can help you fight for maximum amount of compensation you deserve for your injuries or the injuries of your loved ones.
