Last year, a friend tripped and fell down in front of a crowded shopping arena.
It was the impact of the fall, the doctors later explained to the perturbed family, that the knee dislocated.
No one had an idea that a year later she would have undergone through two major operations, wear a knee brace and pay over almost a thousand pounds for what then seemed like a 'minor fall'.
She is still recovering, and so is her husband, more in a monetary way than anything else as they pay the medical bills.
They had not heard had not heard of injury claims.
Filing compensation for injury claims is a process quite different from other types of insurance.
When an accident results in an injury, it leads to expenses related to medical treatment.
Those affected by such injuries need to contact a reliable insurance agency for injury claims to reimburse treatment bills.
It is imperative to make a proper decision when selecting the right insurance company that will pay medical bills from injury claims.
Unpaid bills lead to added interest to be paid to the doctor.
A solicitor will offer advice on the rights of the injured party.
Points to be kept in mind are: oInjury claims against a company, another person or even government can be filed.
oAn example: injured by falling in an open ditch and the municipal corporation in oblivious of the open ditch.
oA lawyer with personal injury claims can accurately calculate the money value, as some insurance companies settle the claims with a small sum of money as compensation when more is due.
oThe time wasted or missed from work during the period of recovery may be included as part of the compensation as well as for the trauma undergone.
oTraining and transfer to another job in case of being unable to go back to the previous job is eligible as injury claim.
An investigation is performed by the insurance company to check for the degree of injury as well as for it as insurance scams increase.
