Hi, my name is Andrea Fowler, and I’m an attorney here with Hyland, Padilla & Fowler, PLLC. Today we’re going to talk about: “What is the personal injury claims process?” If you have sustained a personal injury, let’s say, for instance, an auto accident, then one of the next steps is to report the claim, that claims process is the same also if you have a slip and fall. Some of the information that you need to report a claim if you’ve had a personal injury accident is going to be the defendant’s information, whether it be a store or somebody that’s hit you, and then their insurance information. Generally, it’s a really good idea to talk to an attorney before you contact the insurance company because once you contact the insurance company, they’re going to start asking you a lot of questions, and they may even ask for a recorded statement. We always advise that you speak with an attorney before providing that information as it may work for or against you later on in the claims process.

If you need assistance with your worker’s compensation claim, or the insurance company is denying a claim you feel should be covered, give Hyland, Padilla & Fowler, PLLC a call today to discuss your situation with one of our Raleigh + Durham worker’s compensation attorneys.
