We Put Our Clients First

After a serious injury, you may feel your injuries and needs get shuffled into the background.

Expected Compensation After an Accident in Beaumont

The compensation you can recover after a Beaumont accident can depend on:

• Who caused your accident? In most injury claims, you may seek compensation through an insurance company that covers the liable party.
• How much compensation does the insurance policy offer? Some insurance policies may have strict limits that dictate what compensation you can recover. Furthermore, some insurance companies may fight hard to reduce the compensation they must pay after an accident.
• Do you have a lawyer on your side? Choosing a lawyer to help with your injury claim can go a long way toward increasing the compensation you may recover for those injuries.

After we look at the circumstances related to the accident, we help our clients take a look at their damages and losses.

What injuries did you sustain in your Beaumont accident, and what medical costs did you sustain as a result?

Your medical costs will often serve to drive your injury claim. In many cases, you may have substantial medical care needs after a devastating accident. The more medical care you require, the higher those expenses may grow.

Did you have to miss work because of your accident and injuries? How much of your income did you lose?

Often, lost time at work can prove devastating after a serious accident. Talk to Stewart J. Guss, Injury Accident Lawyers to get a better idea of what compensation you can claim for your income losses. If you permanently lost the ability to work because of your accident, you may also have the right to claim compensation for your lost earning potential.

What suffering did you face because of your accident?

Many injury claims will also offer compensation for the pain and suffering you may have faced because of your accident. Did you suffer an immense loss of independence? Did you have to miss out on your favorite activities or pre-planned events?

At Stewart J. Guss, Injury Accident Lawyers, we want to include those losses as part of your claim whenever we can.

Fighting the Insurance Company After a Beaumont Accident

Most injury claims will involve a claim against an insurance policy. After a car accident, for example, you might have to deal with the liable driver’s car insurance company, while after a premises liability accident, you might end up dealing with a property insurance policy. Insurance policies might seem to exist to help provide essential compensation for those injuries and damages. But in many cases, you may find yourself fighting with the insurance company regarding your right to compensation.

The insurance company might refuse to accept liability for the accident, pressure you to accept a low settlement that does not even really seem to reflect your needs, or simply refuse to accept the full extent of the damages you sustained in the accident. As a result, you may end up struggling to get the compensation you really deserve.

Having a lawyer on your side may prove critical as you pursue that essential compensation. Stewart J. Guss, Injury Accident Lawyers has substantial experience dealing with insurance companies of many types. We can help you fight for the compensation you deserve.

What to Do After a Beaumont Accident

You suffered injuries in a Beaumont accident. You know you need to pursue compensation for your injuries, but you might not know how. At first, you may need to prioritize your medical needs.

However, even immediately after your accident, you may need to do several things that can help increase the odds that you will recover the compensation you deserve for those injuries.

• Look over any accident report from your accident and make sure it contains accurate information. If it has anything missing, you may need to help fill it in.
• Talk to a lawyer as soon as you can. The insurance company may try to catch you off-guard or take advantage of you, especially right after your accident, before you can consider the full extent of your damages. A lawyer can help make sure you continue to track your needs.
• Follow your medical care provider’s instructions, from the procedures you may need to the activities you should avoid. In many cases, failure to follow those directions can interfere with your recovery, and it may make it harder for you to get compensation.
• Keep track of your bills. Document your medical expenses so you can clearly display them for your claim.

Are you ready to get started with your claim? Need more help answering essential questions? Stewart J. Guss, Injury Accident Lawyers can help.

FAQ

How do I know who bears liability for my accident in Beaumont?

Determining who bears liability for your accident can prove critical, since it can have a huge bearing on your ability to recover the compensation you deserve for those injuries.

At Stewart J. Guss, Injury Accident Lawyers, we answer several key questions that may influence liability in your accident.

• Who bore a duty of care to you at the time of the accident? A duty of care includes any responsibility or duty to another party. For example, drivers on the road automatically have a duty of care to anyone else who shares the road with them, and property owners may bear a duty of care to anyone who visits that property.
• Who violated that duty of care? We will take a look at any acts of negligence that may have contributed to your accident, from a speeding or distracted driver to a property owner that failed to exercise basic, necessary precautions in taking care of the property and preventing injury to visitors.
• How did that negligence contribute to your accident? To establish that you have grounds for an injury claim, you must show that the negligence led to or caused your accident.

In addition, you will need to clearly show that you sustained injuries due to the accident. If you did not sustain injuries or damages in the accident, you may not have the right to file an injury claim.

What should I do about my medical bills after a Beaumont accident?

After any type of injury, you may worry about the cost of medical treatment. While Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas may offer comprehensive medical care, you may end up with significant medical costs that go along with that treatment. The party that caused your accident will not, in general, have to pay your medical bills directly. However, you can file an injury claim that will provide you with some of the funds you may need to cover the cost of that medical treatment.

When do I need a lawyer to help with a Beaumont injury claim?

Injury claims may prove more complicated than you expect, especially if you try to handle the claim on your own. By working with an attorney, you can experience several advantages that may help streamline your claim and make it easier for you to get the full compensation you may deserve.

You may need a lawyer if:

• The insurance company issues you an insultingly low settlement offer (or, in reality, any settlement offer that does not seem to fit your needs)
• The insurance company or liable party denies liability for your injuries
• The insurance company denies the extent of your injuries
• You end up having to fight to get the insurance company to get back in touch with you or to acknowledge your needs
• You have questions about the compensation you may deserve

Talk to a lawyer as soon after your Beaumont accident as possible to get more information about your right to compensation.
