If you have been in an accident, timing is everything. Today we are talking with Lloyd Baker with Lloyd Baker Injury Attorneys. This is something that maybe not everybody knows but give us a little bit of information about the sensitivity around timing because this is something that I don't know if I was in an accident, I would know.
The evidence seems to disappear, so the quicker you get it, the better off you are. So, pictures, EDRs from your vehicle tell you the speed, dash cams. There's usually a camera somewhere or a witness somewhere that sees something. If you wait, there may not be a proper investigation, which is the problem. People miss out on a lot of evidence that could prove that they were not at fault for the accident, which makes pictures of the accident super important. Witnesses, saving evidence, seeing a doctor and making sure your attorney has all this information is the most important.
And you make a really, great point about the fact that there are cameras everywhere. So there, when people come to work with you, because you are a personal injury attorney, is this something that people bring all of this to you? Do you help them get all this information, all this evidence? How does that relationship work?
It's both. They'll often have a dash cam, which helps us; okay, what color was the light? We can look and see, and so on and also, there's a 7-Eleven on every corner, or a convenience store, and so somebody's going to have footage of this somewhere.
It's 2023. Yes. Yeah, we've done that. We've gotten McDonald's footage, I mean, to show what's going on. We obviously chase that stuff too. So, we want to preserve everything we possibly can because, every time, occasionally, it's not in favor of our client, which is important to kow up front. Before they go and spend a bunch of time and effort treating when they, probably won't recover. It's a necessary evil. People are so grateful that we attack and get things done and are aggressive about our representation and getting the facts and the evidence because it does help them.
Tell us a little bit about when people start working with you. How does that process go? What, what are the initial kind of steps when they work with you?
Well, nowadays, all you do is pretty much it's all digital. So, you can, they can digitally sign. As soon as we get that going, we can represent them. Our priority is preserving evidence, that's what we're all about.
We make sure to get our clients back to life, we get them to the doctor, get them lined up. Sometimes they don't even know what to do because they aren’t sure who will pay for it all.
So, you can put a doctor on a lien, we have connections like that. Sometimes if our clients are from different countries, they aren’t sure if they should treat since they haven’t done this before. We help guide them into what they need.
Yeah, that's a huge point right there helping guide someone. Because I wouldn't know if, God forbid, I was in an accident or something like that, I wouldn't know my next steps. So, when it comes to things like an insurance company, is there a hard and fast rule? Is there like a, you have two weeks, and then that's it. How long do you have with an insurance company to file a claim?
Well, for your own insurance, you need to let them know - right away. On the other side, though, we can let them know. And many times, people try to do it on their own, and that's when they encounter problems because they didn't get the proper treatment and preserve all the evidence. We help our clients understand that they can treat, get better, and there is someone to pay for it.
They have the support. And one of those people who's there to support, like we were talking about, is you guys at Lloyd Baker Injury Attorneys. So, tell everybody, if, unfortunately, someone has been in an accident, how do they get in contact to work with you?
