Auto-Pedestrian Crash

So, you’ve been in an accident. Your phone is ringing off the hook. The insurance adjuster is offering to put money in your pocket, but it will require you to sign a release dropping all the claims you have stemming from the accident. If you have found yourself in this situation, you’re likely trying to decide whether you should hire an attorney before signing anything. The answer to that question is simple, yes. You should never sign any documents from an insurance company following personal injury without talking to a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies today are master manipulators. They have come up with very clever jingles that are in their commercials. “Like a good neighbor…” and “You’re in good hands”. These companies go out of their way to manipulate the general public into think ing they will treat you fairly. Unfortunately, the reality is that these insurance companies do not and will never have your best interest in mind. Furthermore, they are in the business of making money and the main way they do that is by denying valid clai ms or getting injured people to accept far less for their injuries than they deserve. The insurance adjuster’s job is to get you to accept as little money as possible in exchange for signing a release. The insurance companies will go out of their way to te ll you that you don’t need an attorney. They will tell you an attorney will only complicate things. That is true, an experienced personal injury attorney will complicate things but not for you as the injured person; an experienced personal injury attorney will complicate and make things difficult for the insurance adjuster.
