Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve been injured or experienced an accident. What do I do next?
If you or a loved one has been injured or in an accident, priority #1 is to seek appropriate medical attention. This should be done before any other action is taken.
Then, contact the authorities to ensure appropriate records and reports are taken. Do not leave, remove evidence, or tamper with the scene of the accident – every little detail is important.
Then, contact your lawyer. If you’ve been injured due to another’s negligence, call Ohiku Law as soon as possible. The more evidence and information we have about what exactly happened, the better we will be able to fight for your rights. The best case scenarios are when we are able to begin our investigation at the scene of the accident or injury, talking to witnesses and taking photos.
Do I need a lawyer if I’ve been injured or experienced an accident due to someone else’s negligence?
The answer is: absolutely yes. After an injury or accident, you need to focus on your recovery. Let the experts at Ohiku Law work with insurance companies, medical providers, and other parties to ensure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve.
I’m being asked to give a statement – what should I do?
If the police are asking you for a statement, provide them with as accurate and complete an account of what happened as possible. Anyone else asking for a statement, such as an insurance company or agent, should be directed to your lawyer.
I’m being asked to sign documents – what should I do?
If you do not understand exactly why you’re being asked to sign something, do not sign it. Your lawyer can help you review documents related to your case and advise you on the best course of action.
How do I know if I received a fair settlement?
What constitutes a fair settlement is different for each client and case, but there are a few universals: you should receive payment for a vehicle based on its market – rather than wholesale – value. You should receive compensation to cover medical expenses and/or recoup lost wages. You are also entitled to compensation for your disability, pain, and suffering. At Ohiku Law, our priority is justice for our client, and we do everything possible to ensure you receive a just and fair settlement.
Can I wait to decide whether or not to sue?
The law limits how long you can wait to sue after a personal injury or accident – this is called the “statute of limitations.” After the statute of limitations has expired, you no longer have a right to sue. The experts at Ohiku Law can help you navigate this process and advise you on how long you have to wait to make this important decision.
