CAN YOU STILL SEEK COMPENSATION FOR YOUR LOSSES?
When you’re hurt in a motor vehicle accident, your first thought, after receiving medical attention, is likely to be that you need to contact your auto insurance provider. That may not be in your best interests, though. In fact, you’ll likely benefit most if you immediately retain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney. Here’s why.
Your insurance company maximizes its profits by minimizing the amount it pays out on claims. Accordingly, the company has an incentive to offer you less than you deserve; delay payment in the hope that you’ll accept less than you’re entitled to; or simply deny your claim. When you work directly with insurance adjustors, you’re at a distinct disadvantage. The adjustors do this all the time and are good at making it seem like the amount they are offering is a good deal.
An experienced lawyer, on the other hand, knows when you’re being offered full and fair compensation for your losses. Your attorney has an incentive to maximize your recovery, as his or her compensation is directly tied to what you receive. Make your first call to an experienced lawyer, who can then be your intermediary with insurance companies, working to get the benefits you need and to which you are entitled.
