We start your claim off right. Auto accidents occur every day in our community. Sometimes, injuries result. Many people make mistakes during the first 72 hours after an auto accident that prevent them from recovering fair compensation for their injuries. Proper diagnosis, documentation and treatment (even if you don’t have medical insurance) are the keys to a successful claim. Our injury attorneys start your claim the right way from the beginning. We monitor the details every step of the way. We fight to make sure that you receive fair treatment under the law.
The insurance adjuster represents the insurance company, not you. The adjuster is under no obligation to protect you legal interests. He or she will tell you that they are not able to give legal advice and then watch in silence as you make mistakes that may cost you thousands of dollars and sometimes much, much more.
They may ask for a recorded statement. They can use it against you. The may say, “This was our driver’s fault. Of course we will pay.” But, how much? They may offer a quick settlement. But, will it cover your loss. Will they run you around in circles until you get frustrated and give up your claim? Are there other considerations?
In order to answer the question, “How much will they pay?” we will need medical records and bills.
These issues make obtaining necessary medical treatment or achieving a fair settlement challenging. These and other issues come up in almost every single case. The adjusters deal with these issues everyday. They have a lot of experience in resolving these issues in the best interest of their employers.
Insurance adjusters are not necessarily bad people. In fact, we are friends with some and have great working relationships with dozens. They are doing their jobs and performing their professional responsibilities. However, they work FOR insurance companies. They are not supposed to perform objective evaluations like teachers or doctors. It is the job of the insurance adjuster to resolve claims in the best way possible for the insurance company. They do their jobs better if they pay you less. As a result, you may receive less for your injuries than what is reasonable and required under the North Carolina law.
Auto accidents can have a variety of consequences. They can be painful and inconvenient or they can have devastating consequences on those injured and their families. They are almost always expensive. Dealing with the effects of these types of injuries can be difficult. Preserving evidence, insuring that the responsible party is correctly identified, dealing with insurance adjuster, and attending to damages and injuries can be difficult even for professionals who deal with these issues everyday.
