DO I HAVE A CASE?

Evaluating Your Personal Injury Claim

“Do I have a case?” It’s one of the most common questions personal injury attorneys hear, and that’s understandable. When you’ve been seriously harmed, you can be faced with a mountain of medical bills, a long recovery process, and perhaps even a loss of function for the rest of your life. It’s natural to want the party responsible for your injury to cover these costs. But often, determining fault isn’t straightforward. Here are things to consider before pursuing a claim.

DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE?

Often determining fault for even the most straightforward of accidents hinges on a few key details. But when those facts are up for debate — your word versus the word of the person who injured you — your claim can be in jeopardy. Ideally, you should take pictures, talk to witnesses, and get a police report at the time of the accident. Of course, a skilled personal injury attorney may also be able to bring in accident reconstruction specialists and other experts to help your case after the fact.

WHAT PARTIES WERE INVOLVED?

Sometimes identifying the real person at fault isn’t as simple as exchanging information with the person who rear-ended you. What if you’re injured while riding in an Uber or by a piece of equipment in a building that wasn’t maintained, like a malfunctioning automatic door? It can be hard to point a finger at the party most at fault in these instances. That’s why expert attorneys delve deep into the details of your case to find all the relevant parties involved.

INGREDIENTS

• • • • • •

1/2 cup mayonnaise

Salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp milk

1 tsp dried parsley flakes

• •

12 large eggs, hard-boiled

HAVE YOU SOUGHT MEDICAL TREATMENT?

1/2 tsp dill weed

Fresh parsley, minced, and paprika for garnish

1/2 tsp fresh chives, minced 1/2 tsp ground mustard

Making expensive healthcare visits in the wake of an accident can be hard, especially if you don’t know if you have a claim or not. But the best thing you can do in these situations is make sure a medical professional cares for you. This will not only prevent your condition from worsening but will also strengthen your case. Failing to seek treatment gives the insurance company an avenue to argue that your injuries are not as bad as they actually are. When it comes to a personal injury case, not going to the doctor can actually cost you money.

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, parsley flakes, dill, chives, mustard, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well and set aside. 2. Cut eggs lengthwise and remove yolks carefully to preserve egg whites. 3. In a small bowl, mash yolks. 4. Mix mashed yolks with mayonnaise mixture. 5. Spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg whites. 6. Garnish with fresh parsley and paprika. Refrigerate before serving.
