After your auto accident, you did what you knew you were supposed to do. You contacted the police and talked to the insurance company who offered you a settlement. You may be thinking that hiring an attorney is not necessary and just an added hassle.
However, a personal injury lawyer can help you with your claim and support your efforts to get the recovery you need. Here’s how.
The offer is usually low
The insurance company is in business to make money. They will have difficulty reaching their profit goals if they continuously pay out high settlement amounts to car accident victims. Very simply, the car insurance company does not have your best interests in mind.
Often, when the insurance company looks at the claim, they plug the numbers into a formula and give you an offer. The amount may seem appealing, but ultimately is not likely to meet your needs in the long run.
When you work with a skilled attorney, that attorney will advocate for the compensation you truly need today and in the future.
An advocate you need in your corner
There are many layers to dealing with a car accident claim. You may spend days and weeks after your accident on the phone with people from your insurance company, the other driver’s insurance company and possibly the police.
An attorney can help you manage who truly needs your time and attention so that you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
