Talk to Us Before the Insurance Company

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident due to the carelessness or negligence of another motorist, you should speak with a car accident lawyer immediately. Far too often, car accident victims make the mistake of talking with the insurance company before they consult with an attorney.

While a claims handler may contact you and tell you it is just to find out what happened, you should never speak with the insurance company or sign any forms or documents until you have spoken with your attorney. You need to keep in mind that when a motor vehicle accident happens, the insurance company is looking to pay out as little as possible. This means that every word that comes out of your mouth is treated as a puzzle piece that the insurance company can rearrange for its own benefit to hurt your case. Once the insurance company has the upper hand, it is likely to give you a low-ball settlement offer. This is why you need to speak with an automobile accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
