If you have been injured in a St. Louis car accident, you should know some important things about aggressive insurance adjusters and lawyers.
Unfortunately, when you suffer a personal injury or property damage from a car accident, you not only have to deal with the physical pain and financial urgency, but you may find it even more difficult to deal with the insurance adjusters and injury attorneys. If you’re not sure how to deal with lawyers and insurance adjusters calling you again and again after an accident, there are some important things you should know.
Be Wary Of Lawyers Who Are in a Hurry To Get Hired
This point is unfortunate but true. Some lawyers bother injured accident victims with nonstop calls until they get hired. These lawyers do everything possible to make sure you hire them. In addition to calling, some lawyers may send emails, send representatives or physically come to visit you in hospital. In fact, some state governments have enforced strict laws to protect accident victims from such ‘ambulance chasing’ attorneys. However, just enforcing laws may not be enough to discourage unethical lawyers. Accident victims should say no to such aggressive lawyers.
If you get injured in an accident, it is in your best interest to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer to understand your legal rights and make sure you win maximum compensation for your injuries. However, this does not mean that you should hire just any lawyer. It is always important to do research before hiring a lawyer. Consider checking the background, reputation, and qualification of an attorney before hiring him for your case.
Do Not Give a Statement
After you get injured in an auto accident, you will likely receive calls from insurance adjusters. They may call you again and again or try to meet you in person to persuade you to provide a statement. Again, it is in your best interests to speak with an experienced attorney before providing any statement to an adjuster.
Do Not Blindly Trust Your Own Insurance Company
In some cases, even your own insurer may convince you to settle for a deal that is in their favor and does not benefit you. It is important to seek advice from a reliable, reputable lawyer before talking to your insurance company. If you get injured in an auto accident, consider speaking with a St. Louis auto accident attorney who has years of experience in handling accident injury cases.
