Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
It’s really no secret that insurance companies are not in the business of paying claims. If they make a settlement offer, it’s usually immediately following the accident, with little knowledge of the victim’s injuries or losses. This means that the offers are low and won’t even come close to covering all the victim’s needs. Sometimes their offers are downright insulting. Other times, they don’t make an offer at all, arguing that the victims claim is invalid.
You’re Entitled to More Than You Think
Unfortunately, scared and hurting victims often take these initial offers, not realizing that they are entitled to so much more. Of course, this is what the insurance companies are hoping for. They want you to take their low offer so they can be done with your claim as quickly as possible. Once you accept their payment, you cannot go back and file a new claim, or sue for more money.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent you and your family is the only way to ensure that your rights are protected and that your settlement is fair.

How a Personal Injury Claim Works
Overview
When you file a ‘claim’ it means that you’re telling the insurance company that you are enforcing your legal right to be compensated (or paid) for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering. The claim is usually submitted to the insurance company that represents the person or persons who caused your injuries. At first, your claim will be a formal legal demand made with the help of your personal injury lawyer. No courts or judges will be involved. However, if the insurance company refuses to negotiate a fair settlement based on the formal demand, then your attorney will file a lawsuit. At that point, your claim will be considered a ‘case’ and will follow the court systems rules and timeline.
Notify the Insurance Companies
As soon as possible following the accident, you should notify your insurance company, as well as the insurance company representing the negligent party who caused your injuries. You will give them basic information about the accident, such as the date and approximate time, and that is all. Do not answer any questions, do not admit any fault, and do not accept any settlement offers. You are simply putting it on record that an accident occurred and that you were injured. Your attorney will handle all other communications with them from that point on.
