Car and Truck Accidents

 

We have handled countless car accident claims on behalf of clients who have been injured in car or truck accidents.  If you have been injured in a car accident or a motor vehicle accident of any kind, including a semi-truck accident or tractor-trailer accident, you may be entitled to recover damages from the negligent party, their insurance company, or from your own insurance company. We can assist you in receiving compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages.

Accident injuries range from minor to serious and permanent. If you are one of the people injured in an automobile accident, your trauma is probably compounded by the uncertainties of your financial future. How will you pay medical bills and make up for lost income?

 

Insurance

 

Insurance is designed to address these economic issues. However, insurance is first and foremost a business. What is best for you is not always in the insurance company's best interest. Insurance companies have a team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose goal is to minimize the amount of money that they pay to motor vehicle accident victims. While you are recovering from the initial shock of the accident, those at fault for the motor vehicle collision may have already notified their insurance company, which will immediately try to minimize its payout. Simultaneously, your insurance company is also trying to limit its exposure. The insurance company will hire its own lawyer to fight against you.  You need someone to look out for your interests right away.

 

Statement to Insurance Adjuster

 

Make sure you never settle your claim with an insurance adjuster without consulting a lawyer first. In fact we advise our clients to always talk to an attorney before even contacting your adjuster after a car accident. BY ALL MEANS DO NOT GIVE THEM A STATEMENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE YOU TALK TO A LAWYER. In our experience we have found that insurance companies try to take advantage of lay people after they have been in a motor vehicle accident. Insurance adjusters will try to throw small amounts of money at accident victims in order to get them to settle quickly before consulting with an attorney. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS. It is common for insurance adjusters to initially offer 1/10 of what a claim is actually worth in order to save the insurance company money.
