How Not To Get Tricked
1. If you are injured in a car accident as a result of the fault of another, chances are that the
insurance company will contact you and make assurances that they will take care of you, so
you do not need an attorney who will take a portion of your recovery.
But remember, the adjustor has a job to do. His/her job is to pay out as little on your
personal injury claim as possible. Why do you think they imply or outright tell you not to
get an attorney.
Most attorneys work on a contingency fee and so the incentive is for them to get you as
much as possible. Even with the attorney’s percentage being deducted in many cases you
may get more than without an attorney.
An experienced personal injury attorney should be able to tell you if he can add value to
your claim. For instance, if you just went to the emergency room or your family doctor one
time for your injury, you probably can negotiate this yourself.
However, if you have a significant injury with ongoing treatment, you should consider
retaining an attorney to protect your rights and fight for what is fair. Often it pays
dividends to let an attorney take the hassle out of dealing with the insurance company.
Even if you have an offer from the insurance company, some attorneys will only take a fee
out of the amount they get for you above the insurance companies lowball offer. So don’t
be bullied or sweet talked into taking less than you deserve by big insurance.
