If an insurance adjuster contacts you after a car accident in Houston, keep the conversation brief and polite. You can tell them that you are seeking legal representation or that your attorney will be handling communications moving forward. Avoid discussing fault, your injuries, or the value of your claim until you have spoken with a lawyer.

View ServiceThe value of a car accident case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, lost wages, future care needs, property damage, and pain and suffering.

If the worker requests a change of doctor, his attorney can help him choose the most appropriate one given his unique circumstances. If he cannot work, he has the right to receive a percentage of his salary, about 66.67%. If he cannot work at all because of his medical restrictions and his employer cannot accommodate his needs, then he is also entitled to an additional percentage of his weekly income. If a doctor has concluded that the patient has reached maximum medical improvement, he will follow the diagnosis by assigning an impairment rating. The impairment rating indicates the extent of permanent damage to your body as a result of your injury. The injured employee may then be eligible for impairment income benefits which are paid to injured employees to compensate them for the damage to their body due to a work-related injury.
