Our Costa Mesa Personal Injury Lawyers Will Help You Avoid Critical Mistakes

From the moment your injury occurs to the day your case is resolved, everything you say and do could impact the outcome of your claim. The Costa Mesa injury lawyers at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can help you overcome the challenges of the claims process and avoid costly mistakes such as:

  • Failing to Provide Sufficient Evidence: If you represent yourself or if you turn to a personal injury attorney who is not willing to investigate your case thoroughly, it is likely that important evidence to strengthen your case will be overlooked. This could lead to a dispute and ultimately send your case to trial. Luckily the attorneys at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers have the confidence and experience to take any case to trial. The lawyers at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers will help fight for your case by including surveillance footage, expert witness testimony, cell phone records, electronic data logs, and a variety of other evidence to prove fault and damages.
  • Not Arranging Expert Testimony: Expert witnesses play a crucial role in many personal injury cases by providing valuable testimony to prove liability and damages. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we work with an expansive network of expert witnesses including those in the medical, financial, vocational, and engineering fields.
  • Losing Your Credibility: One of the defense's primary goals will be to make you look less credible. After all, if you're caught in a lie or if it is discovered that you failed to follow your doctor's instructions, this could bring liability or the value of your damages into question. Be sure to follow your doctor’s treatment plan, attend all scheduled doctor’s appointments, take all prescribed medications, and listen to your attorney’s advice during every stage of the proceedings. Getting sufficient treatment will not only benefit your case but allow you to reach your maximum recovery.
  • Making a Recorded Statement: If you make a recorded statement to the insurance company or defendant, it is very likely that your statement will be admissible in court. To reduce the insurance company’s liability, the adjuster might ask leading questions to coerce you into making statements that can be used to dispute your claim. Do not make a recorded statement or exchange any correspondence without first consulting a personal injury attorney.
  • Using Social Media: Reviewing your social media profiles is another tactic the insurance company or defendant might use to dispute your claim. It is best to disable your social media accounts until your case has been resolved. If this is not an option, set your accounts to private.
