WHY INSURANCE ADJUSTERS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND

When you experience a car accident, you really need to know who has your best interest in hand. Fortunately, you are not in an accident every day. However, there are two types of people who deal with your situation on a daily basis—all day! These are Personal Injury Attorneys and Claims Adjusters.

What is so misleading to many accident victims is the way the at-fault insurance company sounds on the phone when they contact you. They sound so nice and helpful which often misleads victims to think they are really trying to help them. Wrong! Insurance companies do not make money paying out claims. Think about it for a minute. They make money, billions, collecting premiums from their customers and paying out as little as possible when it comes to accidents.

If the at-fault insurance company was fair, there would be no need for legal representation. However, fair to them is only when they win! The insurance adjuster tries to save the insurance company money by denying your claim or paying as little as possible towards your claim. He or she loves the fact that you do not have an attorney. They win EVERY time when this happens. But more importantly, you LOSE.

MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET MEDICAL TREATMENT ASAP

Did you know that there are a lot of doctors who will not treat you if they know your injuries were caused by a car accident? Doctors are in the business of healthcare. Their primary objective is to get relieve you from pain caused by the accident and get you on the road to recover from the accident. They do not want to be in the business of collections which is why having an approved Personal Injury Attorney will ensure your medical bills are paid by the at-fault insurance company.

Another reason why some doctors do not treat auto accident victims is because they know there is a possibility they might get called as a witness, and they don’t want anything to do with that. Rest assure, our doctors are well prepared to treat auto accidents and if needed, they are prepared to present the medical findings in court.

Last but not least, do not wait long after the accident before you seek medical treatment. This is the first thing the at-fault company will look at (time of the accident and when you received treatment) in an effort to deny your claim. If you’ve been injured and have not received medical attention within 30 days of the accident, your case is subject to be dismissed.

Remember, You Pay Nothing! We bill the at-fault insurance company when legal representation is retained. Attorney fees are only collected if the firm wins your case. Our A+ recommend law firms WIN!

PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS

A personal injury is stressful enough without having to worry about your medical bills. When you retain a personal injury attorney, you put yourself in a better position to focus primarily on healing from your injuries. The law firm communicates directly with the at-fault insurance company on your behalf. The firm can deal with the adjuster, gather your medical records, order the police report, negotiate a settlement, and if necessary, represent your claim in court. Over 95% of accident cases never go to court with an attorney is involved.
