After an accident caused by someone else, many accident victims are contacted by an insurance adjuster who will try to appear sympathetic to them and who will give them the impression that the adjuster will settle their claim rapidly.  The insurance company’s representative will lull them into a feeling that the adjuster will take care of them and sometimes the adjuster will even tell them they have no need to see a Personal Injury attorney.

If you are ever in that position you should remember that the adjuster is an Employee of the Insurance Company whose earnings may be affected by his performance and savings for the Insurance Company.  The ADJUSTER is NOT employed to act in YOUR BEST INTERESTS.

The only experienced professional who is obligated and dedicated to protecting YOUR BEST INTERESTS is YOUR PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY.

3 Advantages of Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney

1. An Accurate Valuation of Your Damages

If your injuries were fairly minor, determining the extent of your losses may be fairly straightforward. However, if you’ve been seriously hurt, calculating your actual damages, including the cost of any future medical treatment you may need, often requires the expertise of a skilled medical and accounting professionals who partner with your attorney to determine the reasonable true value of your damages.

2. Investigative Resources

Insurers often dispute liability for an accident victim’s injuries in an attempt to minimize the value of your claim. Having been a Personal Injury attorney for nearly 30 years, I have developed a network of medical and accounting professionals as well as investigative professionals to collect evidence to prove that the insurance company is responsible for payment of your damages.

3. Negotiation on Your Behalf

After making an initial offer, insurance companies may simply refuse to negotiate with accident victims because they know unrepresented victims usually lack the skill and knowledge to bring lawsuit against them.  A competent Personal Injury attorney is capable of negotiating forcefully with the insurance adjuster to attempt to reach a fair settlement without being intimidated by the insurance companies’ tactics but if those negotiations are not successful, your attorney can proceed with the required litigation to seek a verdict in your favor that the insurance company will be required to pay.
