Why timing matters
Most matters involving catastrophic injury claims are not resolved in a single conversation. There is usually an investigation, medical treatment, a demand and negotiation, and sometimes a lawsuit. Ask for a realistic sense of the timeline.
Practical preparation
If you have already spoken to an insurance company about catastrophic injury claims, write down what was said and when. If you have given a recorded statement, mention it at the case review.
Evidence that matters
Photographs of the scene, injuries and property involved in catastrophic injury claims are often the clearest evidence in the file. Take more than you think you need, and keep the originals of every photo of catastrophic injury claims with their dates.
