Questions Answered in this Video:
0:57 How can I convince the insurance company that my claim is real?
Answer: Well, basically you should think of it as a trial. You need to make sure you have compiled all the evidence that you will need to build your case. The evidence can include photographs of the accident, photographs of your injuries, notes of your doctors, notes of your injuries, and statements of the witnesses present at the scene or any other thing you think can be useful to present as evidence.
2:14 Question 2: If I work with an attorney on a contingency basis, will the firm compensate me while I’m waiting for my claim to settle?
Answer: The straight answer would be no. The firm would not compensate while you are waiting for your settlement. However, there are things that you can do depending upon your pocket expenses. Most attorneys would be able to direct you to certain providers, working on need-basis to treat your injuries. There are companies too that can grant you a loan based on your potential settlement. Not highly recommended but it’s just another option you can consider.
3:30 Question 3: How long will it take to know if I’m going to win my case?
Answer: This is a very specific question. There are some cases, where we know from the start that we will be able to win it. Like we have substantial evidence or it is known that who caused the accident so it’s pretty easy. However, there are other cases where all the details are not known and some pieces are missing. That’s where it may take some time to determine which way the case is going.
4:30 Question 4: I’m not able to leave my house due to an injury. Do personal attorneys do house calls?
Answer: Absolutely. Most of the attorneys, at least in my firm, we definitely do house calls if the client is unable to make it due to an injury or some other circumstances.

John Kelly’s AVVO Rating:
I have a question. When I am compiling evidence for my case, is there a limit to the amount of evidence I should try to obtain? For example, if I am hurt in a car accident, would it be harmful to the success of my case to find the other driver and try to get pictures of his vehicle or get information from him?
Also, if I am taken away from the scene of an accident, or rush to a hospital, should I return to the scene to try and gather more evidence? Same basic question – how far should I be willing to go?
Good question boconnor0. There is generally no limit to the amount of evidence that you can obtain for your case. However, you will want to act within reason. Gathering the evidence may be easier than you think. In most serious accidents, the police will do their own investigation. They obtain the information about the adverse driver, take photos, interview witnesses etc. Even if you were rushed to the hospital, an accident reconstruction is typically done.
Now, it is a good idea to have someone take photos of your injuries throughout your healing process. You can contact an attorney to obtain the police reports and follow up with any other evidence. Your attorney may want to go to the scene of the accident, hire their own accident experts, speak with the witnesses, and view the vehicles that were involved.
In any event, you would be wise to contact your personal injury attorney to go over the facts of the case and determine what your best actions are to preserve the evidence. You can call for a free consultation and get the information that may save your case in the long run.
