Wilmington Personal Injury Lawyer: Representing You in North Carolina Auto Accidents and Premises Liability Since 1997
After an accident of any type, you have a lot to worry about. Your recovery is probably the first thing on your mind, followed closely by fixing other damage incurred to your car, truck, or home. Dealing with insurance companies can be confusing and frustrating, especially when you are not the person responsible for the accident. Adjusters may try to offer you a quick settlement, but what happens if it isn’t enough? If you accept that settlement, you should know that the settlement will almost always come with a Release of Liability. The Release of Liability operates as a complete and total bar to further recovery REGARDLESS of future medical expenses, permanent injuries, lost wages, damages, and other financial obligations.Injuries you sustain in an auto or truck accident, a fire, a slip-and-fall, or other mishaps can be very overwhelming. Medical costs are just the start of your worries—you may have a family, job, and other responsibilities that suffer as a result. Oftentimes, the initial settlement you are offered will only reflect the immediate medical costs. If you are one of the primary providers to your family, however, you may have other worries. How will you continue to provide for them? Is your job at risk? Is your settlement enough to cover your full recovery?
You don’t have to face insurance companies alone.
Insurance companies aren’t necessarily the “bad guys.” However, insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. It is the job of an insurance adjuster to settle claims favorably for the insurance company. They are not required to inform you of your legal rights. They will tell you that they cannot give legal advice and then watch in silence as you make mistakes that can cost you thousands of dollars. A serious auto injury is expensive; and sometimes, it can be life-altering.
