A: As stated above, the most important thing you can do is to recover as quickly as possible from your injury. Insurance company personnel tend to believe those people who actively try to recover from their injuries. That is why you must cooper­ate with your physician, physical therapist and other medical personnel who are trying to help you to improve from your injury.

Secondly, insurance companies believe those people who can document their injuries neither with medical bills, credible medical reports and accurate lost wage information that is neither exaggerated nor subject to dispute or interpretation.

Thirdly, insurance companies usually settle cases easier with those clients who have been in active contact and cooperation with their attorney.

In summary, it is important for you to try to get better, to keep an accurate record of your expenses, and to cooperate with your attorney and his or her staff.
