What Are
Auto Accident Injury Claims?

Many people mistakenly believe that the only way to file an auto accident injury claim is through someone’s car insurance. However, the insurance company’s job is to low-ball you and settle for the lowest possible amount. If you have no medical bills and only need money for car repairs, then that’s probably the best option for you.

How Can an Auto Accident Injury Lawyer Benefit You?

Let’s look at the best-case scenario: Another driver rear-ended you in front of a police officer and a traffic camera. You’re clearly not at fault for your auto accident injury. Even better, both drivers also have full car insurance coverage! Surely you don’t need a lawyer to get a fair settlement from the insurance company, right? Wrong – here’s why you should always consult a lawyer about your auto accident injury before talking to a claims adjuster:

Insurers typically offer to settle for a little more than half the money your injury deserves
When you talk to the claims adjuster, every word you say can count against your claim
Attorneys have special training to assess your injury and know how to get all the money you deserve
Negotiating directly with insurance will never pay you a higher settlement than when an attorney does that for you
Even after legal fees, most auto accident victims with attorney representation receive up to 3.5x more money from insurers
About 95% of auto accident claims settle out of court in no more than one year

If you aren’t the driver responsible for your crash and have an auto accident injury, always consult a lawyer.
