Three Tips For Handling Car Accident Insurance Claims
There are many things you should do or not do following a crash in Montgomery to protect your legal claim. Here are three of these tips, and we can provide more specific advice once we assess your circumstances.
Get Medical Proper Treatment for Your Injuries
You should get a medical evaluation and a diagnosis of all your injuries right away after a car accident. This helps your physical condition and documents your injuries to prove the compensation you deserve in your legal claim. You should then keep up with all treatment recommendations for the best chance of recovery and to demonstrate you are taking your injuries seriously.
Have a Car Accident Lawyer Handle all Insurance Communications
To safeguard your car accident claim, let a skilled attorney handle insurance conversations on your behalf. Insurance adjusters can use any statements you make against your claim, and it is easier than you imagine to say the wrong thing. Do not give them recorded statements or provide details about your injuries. Instead, allow a legal professional to handle these communications. If an insurer contacts you, politely inform them that you are hiring a lawyer who will handle your claim.
Don't Accept A Settlement Offer Without Legal Advice
Insurance companies might make a settlement offer much sooner than you expect. While this might seem like a blessing, you should never accept anything without a lawyer’s review. Insurance companies hope that accident victims will accept an initial offer to get funds as soon as possible.
Often, claimants do not know all their losses early in the process, and they might not know they have the ability to negotiate a higher amount. This can result in accepting a settlement that is far less than you deserve. You won’t have the opportunity to seek more compensation, so never accept anything without a lawyer advising it is a favorable offer.
