Injured in an Auto Accident
Don’t Let Insurance Companies Pressure You to Settle
Auto accidents happen every day and if you’ve been hurt or injured in a car, truck, motorcycle or any other motor vehicle accident, you may be eligible for compensation.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that in 2015, there was a steep increase in traffic fatalities across the country after years of steady declines.
This recent spike in fatalities is tragic for many vulnerable families who are grieving their loss. Sadly, many insurance companies may take advantage of vulnerable people by working hard to settle claims quickly and for the lowest possible amount – all to boost profits.
Don’t settle and don’t sign away your rights without talking to an experienced personal injury law firm first.
3 Reasons You Should Hire an Attorney After an Auto Accident
An attorney will look out for your best interest and strive to get you the highest compensation possible. While settling your claim quickly with the insurance company might seem like a good plan, it’s critical to take the time to fully assess the injuries sustained. You only have one opportunity to prove your injuries. Once you accept a settlement, that decision is final and you may lose your rights to ever file another claim again – even if you discover your injuries are worse than you originally thought.
He or she will know what questions to ask and can walk you through the claims process. Not only can an experienced attorney establish a timeline for each step in the process, they are familiar with the paperwork – saving you the hassle of having to navigate complex documents on your own.
An attorney will help protect you from unnecessary or harassing inquiries from the insurance company or other parties involved. Your attorney knows what questions are relevant and will help protect your rights. You don’t want the insurance company to misconstrue your words and undermine your case.
