What Are The Worst 2 Ways To Lose A Fredericksburg, Virginia Personal Injury Case?
In a Fredericksburg, Virginia car accident your personal injury attorney is your confidant. You must tell every and any fact, which leaves no room for misinforming them. You’re not paying money to have someone lie for you, and this is no way to win a case. There are a few things that if you choose to do will make your personal injury case stink like 3 month old milk. Avoid dishonesty in all aspects of your case, and keep away from these “sinful” practices if you want a good chance at winning.
The Client is Referred by the Lawyer to a Doctor or Chiropractor
Does this have “rigged” all over it? Well, if you don’t see it that way I’m going to be quite frank with you when I say this is the “kiss of death” to your claim. There’s been lawyers that have been disbarred after referring clients to a chiropractor –then had them lie about it!
Not to mention, the suspicion level from jurors about this kind of “doctor-lawyer-referral” relationship. While you may not know as a client exactly how many other clients have been referred if at all, you can bet your pants the insurance company has been tracking this!
You may be wondering if this is black and white, or if there are any exceptions?
Yes, there are
You may need a specialist, and there’s a chance you’ll be asking for one from the lawyer yourself. Well, this is perfectly fine as long as every client he sees isn’t being sent their way. If you see a stack of doctor cards in their office, it’s a sure sign that this “affair” is ongoing between the two.
Hiding past accidents is a “no-no”
Odds are that this information is out there floating around, and the opposing side has everything from you on record already! Insurance companies are all subscribed to insurance databases which have past records going back to the stone ages! (not really that far, but you get the picture)
What this means for you is that when they ask you a question regarding any previous accidents, odds are they already know the true answer.
If you go in with an honest and open approach to your Fredericksburg Virginia personal injury attorney, you’re only paving the way of being in the best position possible. Your lawyer can determine if, and by how much the prior accident can affect your chances at winning your case. In addition to this, you won’t be made a joke in court and laughed out for “forgetting” to disclose a true answer about prior accidents, which leave you just sitting with attorney fees and a lost case!
Don’t be hardheaded and make these mistakes which many do every year, leaving their money in the hands of insurance companies. Check out our free consumer guide The Five Deadly Sins That Can Wreck Your Injury Claim.
