Do You Need an Auto Accident Lawyer?
Insurance companies frequently handle routine auto accident claims, the majority of which involve property damage only. However, when personal injuries are involved, you’ll benefit from an auto accident lawyer. We frequently find that insurance companies offer low ball settlements.
We’ve found that we can almost always get better settlements. When offering a low ball settlement, the insurance adjuster will always do so with a smile. They want to give you the false impression that they are your friend and on your side. Unfortunately, that’s rarely true. They are trying to get you to settle for as little as possible. Here is a list of things that should trigger getting an auto accident attorney:
- If the insurance company won’t pay the full cost of property damage, medical expenses, lost income, psychological pain, and lost prospects then you need an auto accident lawyer.
- If the insurance company delays settling a claim then you need an auto accident lawyer.
- If the insurance company denies a claim (Sometimes the insurance company of the other party involved in the auto accident will claim their insured was not at fault or that the insured’s policy did not cover the accident.) then you need an auto accident lawyer.
- If the party at fault does not have insurance then you need an auto accident lawyer.
