What's the biggest mistake made in a car accident claim?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

The Biggest mistake an accident victim can make in Massachusetts, in dealing with an insurance adjuster, is to think that, that adjuster is there friend or is on their side. They are not. They're trained to be friendly but they are also trained to pay as little as possible on your claim. If they can get you to make a statement that questions liability in your case, or to make a statement that diminishes your damages, they will do it. They're reviewed, they're trained and that's they're objective plain and simple.

Should I handle my own auto accident claim in California?

Bisnar Chase LLP

People who are involved in auto accidents can handle their own claims. It’s kind of like, can you handle your own injury? Well if your injury is a scratched leg, you can put some antiseptic on it and a band-aid. But if you got a broken leg that needs to be set, I don’t think that’s the kind you want to handle yourself. Same thing with auto accidents – the more serious the accident, the more you’re going to need professional help. I’m John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm.

Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?

Bisnar Chase LLP

In a dog bite lawsuit, the dog owner is responsible almost always. And if the dog owner owns a home, then his homeowner's insurance, the general liability provision of his homeowner insurance, will cover, unless the dog has been excluded from the policy. And in many policies in California, specific breeds are excluded, specific dogs are excluded, and specific weight of dogs are excluded from the policies. Otherwise the general liability provision of the insurance policy of a homeowner will cover a dog attack claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar-Chase law firm.

Do I need a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

Bisnar Chase LLP

In dog attack claims, you don't necessarily need an attorney to handle the claim. If it's serious an attorney will be a big help to you. If you are a fair negotiator, I mean if you know how to negotiate and you can handle dealing with an insurance company, then you could handle the claim yourself, as long as you know the value of the claim yourself (and that's the tricky part). Because a very experienced personal injury attorney, or a dog bite attorney, is gonna know what he settled his last 100 claims for and be able to identify the value of your claim versus those other claims.

What types of injuries can be covered in a dog bite or attack claim in California?

The Roberts Law Firm

Dog bite claims have unique injuries different from many other types of accidents. In particular, scarring. And in a dog bite claim, all medical bills can be compensated. If someone looses income due to the dog bite, they will recover their lost income. Pain and suffering, but also, as I said, scarring. Scarring, particularly, on small children causes problems later on as they get older and requires surgeries and those surgeries will be compensated as well.

If you've suffered injury because of a dog bite incident, it's important to find out the owner or the keeper of the dog and it is that person or persons that are responsible for your injuries.

Should I hire a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

An attorney can make a huge difference in a case when you are dealing with an adjustor. If you go to an adjustor to settle a case your self and he knows you're not an attorney and knows you can't go to trial you don't have much of a bargaining position. With an attorney who has a reputation with doing dog bite trials and getting large settlements in dog bite cases the insurance company has to be concerned because they know that type of an attorney can bring some heat and make some things happen and will probably get a much higher recovery than someone who is handling it themself.

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The most important thing to remember is that an insurance company is not looking out for your best interest. You should hire an attorney. What is important is that you hire an attorney that's experienced in this area of law. You don't want to hire an attorney that practices real estate law or trust law or corporate law. You need to find an attorney that handles personal injury law.

And although you may be bright and be a good negotiator; you don't have a point of reference with respect to the value of your claim. That's why you need an experienced attorny.

How will a lawyer handle my motorcycle accident case?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Although people that are involved in minor automobile accidents can perhaps handle their claim on their own, if you are in a motorcycle accident it's recommended that you get an attorney. There's a built in bias against riders of motorcycles. Insurance companies take sometimes dim view of motorcycle operators, so it's more difficult to get an adequate a fair recovery for what has happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades."

What's the secret to getting a big auto accident settlement?

The Roberts Law Firm

The way that insurance companies value, out of the accident cases is they look at the damage to the vehicles, and then they look at the damage to the person, and then they look at the quality of the attorney that you represent in the person. You take these three things together and that’s going to either result in a, mediocre solemn or its going to get you a good solemn. The more property damage, the more the insurance company is going to believes you have been hurt. The more the medical bills that you have, the more that represents the type of injuries you had. And the better your attorney, the harder they are going to work, to get to you a great solemn. I am Jeff Roberts, of the Roberts Law Firm.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The biggest problems that you face in a worker’s compensation case are principally dealing with issues of what they call extent of disability. Initially when someone first gets hurt at work, it’s pretty straightforward – they can’t do the functions of their job. And then if they have an injury that turns out to be more significant, that doesn’t allow them to go back and do their previous line of employment, the question then shifts to can they do any type of a job in the greater open labor market. And what I always like to say is that, without proper representation, that insurance companies and insurance company lawyers will assume anything that they want to assume.

What are the most common injuries in a car accident?

Bisnar Chase LLP

The most common kind of automobile accident injury is a whiplash because the majority of auto accidents are rear end accidents. You get a whiplash from the spine being stretched and snapped. Generally, whiplash injuries are an insult to the spine. The really bad thing about a whiplash injury is it doesn't really show up how bad it is for years after the accident.

What is a wrongful death lawsuit?

Bisnar Chase LLP

A wrongful death lawsuit really involves two different types of claims. One is the Survivor Claim, and one is what is traditionally called a Wrongful Death Claim. In the Survivorship Claim the family is entitled to all the expenses that were incurred by the death. In other words, medical expenses, funeral expenses, burial expenses and punitive damages. There's also the"Wrongful Death Claim. The Wrongful Death Claim is where each family member has a claim for the loss of anticipated financial support, and what we call loss of consortium: love, attention, affection,guidance...that you would have received from this person throughout your lifetime. So those are the elements of what is traditionally called a Wrongful Death Claim. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

What do I do if I'm in a car accident and my child was injured?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

The first thing a parent should do if they're involved in an accident and their child is injured, obviously, is to tend to the child. Once they asses the situation they should immediately call the police. It's very important. The police will come, they will document the position of the vehicles, perhaps cite the at fault driver. They will takes names and statements from witnesses. They perhaps will do an accident reconstruction. This is all very important, ultimately, for an attorney representing a parent and/or a child that's in a serious automobile accident. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Bisnar Chase LLP

Most people that have been injured in an automobile accident do not technically sue. If they are injured, they make a claim and there is a difference between a claim and a lawsuit. A claim is you present a claim to the insurance company and you work out a hopefully fair settlement. If you don't work out a fair settlement, if you don't get the money that you believe you are entitled to, that's when you go to a lawsuit.

Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.

Or they are sitting in a child safety seat, that's inadequately designed or a manufacturing flaw, that will allow the child to be ejected from the vehicle. Once a child is ejected from a vehicle, the seriousness of the injuries increase dramatically because the child does not have the safety of being contained within the vehicle itself.

The most dangerous vehicle in my experience on the road today is surprising to most people. It's a fifteen passenger van.

When it rolls over, because its structure is very weak, the roof collapses. When this happens, the injuries can be devastating especially with fifteen people. You have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and death. Most people don't realize it - these vans are out they're. They're used by schools, sports teams, hotels, livery services.

If they put profits before safety, they’re going to be held accountable, and they’re going to have to change the way they do business so this doesn’t happen to the next child. I’m attorney Tom Kylee [SP]. I’ve been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

How common are injuries from children's toys?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

In 2006 there were approximately 220,000 child injuries as a result of defective products that are sold in this country. They range from defective toys that present strangulation, or choking hazards to defective bicycles, ATVs, scooters, child seats, playpens just about anything you can imagine your child comes in contact with. What happens is these corporations that make these products put profit before safety. They don't care about our children. We trust them to make products that are safe and will not harm our children, and they don't follow thorough on the responsibility.

What are the potential impacts of a child's exposure to lead?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

A child who is exposed to lead, especially during the formative years, can sustain brain damage, um, learning disabilities or even death depending upon the concentration of lead in their bodies and in their bloodstreams. It's very dangerous. Therefore, when it shows up in toys, it's virtually mind-boggling that, in this day and age, corporations would be so careless that they wouldn't exercise care in assuring that these toxic poisonous substances are not in our toys and hurting our children.

Why are insurance companies such a pain to deal with?

Proner & Proner

Insurance companies are big businesses and they have share holders and owners that they have to cater to. And they are trying to make as much money as possible and they do that in part by paying out as little as possible on claims. So if an adjuster pays out less than a case is worth, that adjuster did a good job. If they hire an attorney, that is very skilled, and the accident victim has an attorney that's not so skilled, and the defense attorney for the insurance carrier wins, that's a win for the insurance company. Because the insurance company has more money in their coffers. So insurance companies try to save money by paying out as little as possible in claims. I'm Michal Proner.
