    Dealing with Insurance Companies:

    Most insurance companies will work with their customers, quickly offering compensation for both vehicle damages and medical expenses. Yet, insurance companies inherently strive to keep their costs down, often by means of significantly lower payouts to accident victims. An experienced car accident attorney has the experience to negotiate with big insurance companies and aggressively represent your best interest to secure fair and full compensation.

    Negotiating Settlements:

    Most insurance companies and the party responsible for your car accident will likely prefer to settle your case outside of court. And, in many cases these settlement offers are far below what you are fairly due. Not only will an experienced car accident attorney aggressively negotiate any settlement offer, the attorney will also clearly advise you of all your legal options and explain the legal implications of accepting any settlement offer.

    The above are just a few of the reasons to hire an experienced car accident attorney after a motor vehicle accident. Insurance companies have large teams of attorneys working for them, leaving you at a serious disadvantage should you try to represent yourself. Most insurance companies will discourage you from hiring any attorney and put pressure on you to accept a lower settlement quickly.

    Do not sign any document or agreement with an insurance company until you have talked with an experienced car accident attorney, and never tell anyone the accident was your fault.
