Insurance Companies & Settlement Offers
Never speak or accept a settlement offer with an insurance without speaking to a personal injury attorney first.
If you are contacted by the insurance company, politely decline to speak with them and refer them to your attorney.
Insurance companies are trying to protect their assets. There’s a lot of money at stake in personal injury accidents. Their goal is to pay you as little possible. They may ask questions in a way that’s designed to trip you up and get you to say something they can use against you.
After an accident, the insurance company may make you a settlement offer. They may tell you this is the best they can possibly do. It can be very tempting to accept their offer. Your medical bills can go up fast, you may not be back at work yet, and getting some money right away can seem like a relief.
That’s why it’s important to consult an experienced personal injury accident attorney before accepting an offer from any insurance company involved in your case. We can determine the true amount of damages you suffered and assess their offer. We can also help you aggressively pursue a claim for the amount of compensation you deserve to receive.
