Injury compensation claims vary considerably between States and Territories. Receiving a payout is an opportunity to not only recoup out of pocket expenses, but also to be sufficiently awarded for your pain and suffering. Financial aid aside, you may find it settling to know that in the long run, you have received compensation that you had full rights to.
What people do not realise, is that help is at hand by contacting an injury advice line. One call can make a huge difference to the outcome of an injury compensation claim. Taking on the burden of researching and handling your claim by yourself can be extremely stressful, making an already difficult situation harder than it needs to be. For further information and advice call 1300 188 784.
Knowledge is key
Many people say knowledge is power and quite often this is the case when it comes to injury compensation claims. Dealing with an insurance company directly means it’s just you alone dealing directly with the person making the decision as to what compensation you will be awarded. Working in conjunction with an accident injury attorney allows you much more bargaining power and credibility when dealing with an insurance firm.
There are many people who in their lack of knowledge, just take what’s offered to them. They are completely unaware if it is a good offer of compensation or not. They may believe it is the only payout they will be offered. They may not even know they can contest it or ask for more. This is not necessarily the case. Generally insurance companies will offer the bare minimum pay out figures when dealing with an individual. An accident injury attorney can advise you if a payout includes everything to which you are entitled to under the law.
Why settle for second best?
When dealing with the stress of an injury, you may find yourself inclined to simply settle for the first offer given to you. Working your way through an injury can be a very difficult time, and it’s natural to want to get things over and done with so you can move on with your life. However, it is imperative that you take the time to consult with an accident injury lawyer. Not only will they alleviate you of the stress that you’re trying to avoid in the first place, but they will fight for the best possible settlement for your injury.
Many people miss out on thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation by taking on their accident injury claim alone. Taking the time to call an injury advice line will save you stress, maximising your claim result through knowledge you will find nowhere else.
