Why You Should Meet With a Personal Injury Lawyer

Free Consultation

If you have been injured, meeting with a personal injury attorney is important.  You may have insurance adjusters calling you pressuring you to agree to a settlement or make a statement.  You very likely are worried about your medical bills and missed income from time off of work.  It can feel like a very desperate situation and it can be tempting to take the first offer from the insurance company just to “put this all behind you”. 

Why It’s Important that You Do Not Settle with the Insurance Companies Too Soon.

When the insurance companies are responsible to compensate someone who has been injured, their first effort is going to be to see if they can get you to settle quickly and for as little as possible. For most people, being offered $10,000 or $20,000 sounds like a lot of money, and with missed time from work and bills piling up, it can be very tempting to accept the offer. However, when you accept an offer from an insurance company, you will have to sign something that states that states that you have been fully compensated and release them of any additional responsibility for your injury. In many cases, they will ask for you to settle with them before the full extent of your injuries are even known.

Determining what it takes for someone to recover from an injury is complex. All too often, victims of injuries settle too soon, and end up not receiving the compensation for the treatment they need to fully recover. Don’t make the mistake of settling for less than you deserve, or for less than what it will take to fully recover. Make sure an attorney is on your side with your best interests in mind.
