How to Fight the Insurance Companies for Fair Compensation
One of the worst things to deal with after a personal injury accident are the insurance companies. These companies like to claim they have your best interests in mind, however, they have trained their adjusters to low-ball you and make this time in your life as uncomfortable as possible so you can take a low-ball settlement for a quick resolution. Do not to give into this type of manipulation. You have rights as a victim that the insurance companies tend to step on. The following tips will help you take on the bureaucratic insurance companies to win a fair settlement for your injuries.
- Only discuss case details with your attorney: It may be tempting to take to social media and tell all your friends that you're okay after an incident, however, doing so may affect your settlement offer. The insurance companies are relentless and will use anything to prevent you from receiving adequate compensation. If you take pictures of the accident scene, do not post them Online. Do not state what happened pertaining to your accident. Do not even announce that you plan to work with an attorney. Keep everything pertaining to your case confidential and only share with your attorney.
- Be prepared and do your research: Insurance companies will harass you while you are recovering. They want you to issue a statement while you are off-guard so they can use your words against you. You have a right to talk to your lawyer before talking to the insurance companies.
- Know your rights: You also have a right to opt-out of a recorded statement. Make this clear when you do plan to talk to the insurance companies and state this first before all else. You also have the right to tell them just the necessary information and nothing more. Do not let these companies take advantage of you.
- Always consult with your attorney: Update your lawyer on the facts of your case as it unfold. Only your attorney can inform you on the best course of action.
Do Not Settle for a Low-Ball Settlement Offer
Whatever offer is on the table will be your final offer as soon as you accept it. This is why it is crucial to have a knowledgeable Santa Clarita personal injury attorney with you during this time because your lawyer will be able to assess the offer on the table and let you know if it will adequately cover your damages and recovery costs.
If you rush into a settlement offer and find out later that the settlement did not cover all the costs of your injury, you will be out of luck. Victims can no longer pursue compensation after this point.
