Suffering an injury due to someone else’s negligence can bring not just pain and stress but mounting medical bills. At Lowenthal & Abrams, we’ve helped injury victims throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York secure millions in compensation. Here are essential tips to strengthen your case and maximize your recovery.

Seek Prompt Medical Attention and Stick With Treatment

Delaying care can weaken your claim, as insurers may argue your injuries aren’t serious or related to the incident. Early, ongoing treatment creates a clear, credible medical record. And be sure to follow through on all doctors’ recommendations, including therapies and specialist visits. Consistent care shows the true impact of your injuries.

Document Every Expense

Medical bills go beyond hospital stays and surgeries. Include medications, diagnostic tests, therapy sessions, transportation, lodging, and even adaptive devices. To support accuracy and credibility, request itemized bills and keep receipts.

Stay Organized From Injury Through Recovery

Accident claims can drag on for months, sometimes longer. Keep a folder or a digital file for your bills, receipts, photos of your injuries, and a journal of how you’re feeling day to day. A clear record helps your attorney tell your story.

Understand Potential Liens and Insurer Claims

If your health insurance or Medicare paid for part of your care, they may try to get reimbursed from your settlement. This is normal, but it can affect how much money ends up in your pocket. An experienced lawyer can help negotiate these liens.

Don’t Rush Into a Settlement

Insurance companies may offer quick payouts, but these often don’t reflect the true cost of your injuries. Accepting too soon could leave you without enough to cover future care, therapy, or lost income. Take time to understand the full scope of your damages and speak with an attorney before agreeing to any settlement.
