Auto Accident and Injury Attorney Nick Feizy Explains How a Typical Injury Claim Process Works.
In personal injury cases, including but not limited to, car wrecks, motorcycle accidents, boat accidents, 18 wheeler accidents, bus accidents, slip and falls or other injuries, Nick Feizy offers his services on a contingency basis. This means that the injured client will not have to pay any attorney fees to Feizy Law Office unless a settlement, judgment or verdict is obtained. Once an amount of money is obtained, personal injury attorney Nick takes a percentage of this amount as his fees. However, in an injury claim, Dallas car accident lawyer Nick Feizy does not take any money for the car damage settlement. This means that the client will retain a 100% of any amount collected for his or her auto damage. Sometimes, it is necessary to file a lawsuit to force the responsible party to compensate client. If a lawsuit is filed the fee is a bit higher due to the additional time and expenses incurred handling a personal injury litigation case. If no amount of money is collected then the client will not owe Feizy Law Office any money. Also, almost always the client will not have to pay any up front out of pocket money to any medical providers either. Accident and injury lawyer Nick Feizy will contact the various medical providers and forward them a letter of protection. This letter of protection asks the medical provider to not charge any amount from the client until his or her case is over in return for a promise to pay the medical provider upon receipt of a settlement, judgment or verdict.
Initially, the potential client contacts Feizy Law Office and hires attorney Nick Feizy to represent him or her. In the event that a fatality was involved in a fatal bus crash, fatal car accident, fatal motorcycle accident or other accident causing death, Feizy Law Office will represent the estate of the deceased in a similar manner as explained herein. After the client signs all the paperwork and hires him, Nick will file a claim with the insurance company of the liable party and will forward the adjuster at the insurance company a letter of representation. Then, immediately, auto accident lawyer Nick Feizy will assist his client in negotiating and settling the property damage to obtain an acceptable amount for his client’s car damage.
Usually, when a person is injured in an accident, he or she is seen by a medical provider. Quite often the injured party is rushed to the emergency room by an ambulance from the scene of the accident. Typically, the emergency room does a check up, takes x-rays, prescribes pain medication and instructs the patient to seek further treatments if the pain persists. However, depending on the impact most of the time the pain of the accident is felt much more a few days after the accident rather than immediately following the accident. Thus, a few days after seeking treatment at the emergency room, the injured party must seek further treatments to help heal his or her injuries and manage the pain. This is done by going to a physical therapist or in most cases a chiropractor. Depending on the severity of the injuries the injured client will also be referred to a specialist such as an orthopedist. Once the injured client’s injuries are determined, he or she will be put on a treatment regiment.
When the client’s treatments are completely over, attorney Nick Feizy will obtain all the bills and records from every medical provider and will send the adjuster at the liable party’s insurance company a demand package. A personal injury demand package includes a demand letter, which states the amount the injured client will accept as compensation for his or her bodily injury. If the client has lost work due to the accident then accident and injury attorney Nick Feizy will demand lost wages on top of the bodily injury amount. Once the adjuster reviews the demand package he or she will make an offer to settle the case and start the negotiations process. Eventually, Dallas car wreck attorney Nick Feizy and the insurance company will likely agree to settle at an acceptable amount agreed to by Nick’s client. Sometimes the insurance adjuster will low ball and make an unacceptable final offer of settlement. If this happens it would be necessary to file a lawsuit. Nick will explain the pros and cons of filing a lawsuit, the steps of a personal injury litigation process, the costs, the time it takes, etc. and agrees to represent client if and only if client understands the nature of filing an accident lawsuit and provides his or her informed consent.
