Even if you are not injured and the medical bills are high, if you think that you do not have enough time to do the process on your own, you should hire a good lawyer.
When someone is injured in a car accident, the defendants insurance company will try to get them to settle their claim as quickly as possible. Sometimes, insurance companies will pay you very quickly even if you have minimal injuries; they offer to pay you from $500 to $2,000 for your damages. However, they will not pay for your lost wages or other losses that you may have suffered. But insurance companies will not pay you any money for your damages. They will not compensate you for any pain or suffering you may have caused.
Insurance companies will try to offer you a small amount of money to help you pay your medical bills and/or pay for your treatment for a short period of time (usually 30 days). In some cases, insurance companies attempt to offer people who have already received money to pay medical bills a quick payment – up to $2,000 – for any medical bills that they have already paid. They will try to trick you into thinking that you will be able to pay all of your medical bills in just a few days; in fact, you will need to have care for at least 30 days.
Some insurance companies will try hard to get you to accept a quick settlement, by recording what you say to them when they say that they want to pay you quickly. If the amount of medical bills that you are claiming for is less than $10,000, it may be possible to settle the matter without contacting an attorney. It is difficult to predict if a recorded settlement agreement will be successful in court; it is possible that the settlement offer will be accepted, but doing that puts you at a disadvantage.
Insurance companies try very hard to limit the amount that you will receive for your injuries. They try to get you to agree to a quick settlement as soon as possible. Some insurance companies try very hard to get you to agree to a settlement before you even hire an attorney. If you are injured in a car accident, contact an experienced personal injury attorney immediately. When you are injured in an accident, do not delay calling a lawyer. Most accident victims can get a free consultation from an attorney who handles car accident claims. It is possible to talk to an experienced car accident lawyer for free and get a fair settlement for you. If you have been injured in an auto accident and the defendants' insurance company offers to pay you quickly, it is possible to get a fair settlement for you, but you do not have to pay anything unless you win the case in court.
Some people do not realize that insurance companies for others start building defenses almost immediately after someone injures them. Insurance companies have teams of investigators who are able to help them determine whether a legitimate claim has been made for damages. Injury victims who are injured in a car accident should hire an experienced lawyer to help them protect their rights.
If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, having a lawyer who is experienced can help you get the information you need to have a successful case. If an injured person has a good lawyer who represents him, the chances of a successful result are very high. I advise my clients to be prepared for the situation that might occur in court and to hope that they win the case.
