You've been injured because of somebody else's carelessness and now you have a case against
them and you want to know what can you do to speed up the settlement of that case.
Hi.
I'm Frank Nunes, a California personal injury trial attorney practicing in the State of
California.
Join me as we answer what you can do to speed up the resolution of your case.
The first and most important thing that an injured party can do in a personal injury
situation is to follow their medical provider's orders.
Quite commonly, follow the doctor's orders.
If you go to the emergency room and the doctors prescribe follow up care with your primary
physician, go to that primary physician and seek that care.
If a doctor prescribes medication or physical therapy, keep those appointments for physical
therapy, fill those prescriptions for medication.
If there's a problem with that, you need to let your doctor know because he or she is
the person most suited to help you in speeding up your recovery from these injuries.
Another important thing is to keep all medical appointments, physical therapy appointments,
or other doctor's appointments set by your healthcare provider.
If they ask you to bring paperwork to those appointments, be prepared and bring what they
have.
Sometimes the doctors will have you fill out a series of forms before you arrive there.
Getting there with the forms filled out ahead of time makes the visit go much more smoothly,
much more quickly, and you're out of there basically in no time.
Along with following the doctor's instructions, it's important to check in and keep your attorney
apprised of what's going on with your healthcare and your treatment as well.
The attorney can help guide you into what may or may not be something that you necessarily
want to have in your case, and they can help you to seek out care if the care you're receiving
is not necessarily helping you.
Finally, the most important thing you can do when all your treatment is done and you've
been released and gone through your follow up visits is to notify your attorney.
"Hey.
I've been released from care by my doctor.
I believe my case is now ready to be resolved."
That's a good indication to the attorney to grab all the information, all the medical
records, all the documents for the income that you've lost, all the medical bills, any
photographs and other things, and get that information all encapsulated into a settlement
brochure to the careless party or the careless party's insurance company.
Doing these things will help speed up resolution of your case like you wouldn't believe.
That's it for today's video on what you can do to speed up your case.
