When a Personal Injury Attorney in South Windsor CT represents an individual that has serious injuries from an accident, the victim is likely to receive a larger settlement than they could receive on their own. An adjuster that works for the insurance company will be rewarded for settling a claim quickly and for less money than a victim should receive. When several negligent parties can be held financially responsible for the accident, the attorney will make the legal determination which ones should be notified on the victim’s behalf. When serious injuries such as broken bones, scars, brain damage, or any other type of permanent injury have taken place, it makes it even more important.
Within a day or two after an accident has occurred, an insurance company will call a victim on the phone and will request to record the statement. The insurance company is only interested in trying to use a victim’s words against them and deny their claim. An insurance company will never fool a victim when they have a Personal Injury Attorney in South Windsor CT protecting their rights. Another trick an insurance company will attempt is offering to send an adjuster to the victim’s home to write them a check and settle their case. When a victim hasn’t been working due to their injuries, refusing to agree to this can be difficult. They could lose hundreds or thousands of dollars they would legally be entitled to for their injuries.
An attorney can protect a victim from unscrupulous attempts by an insurance company to financial hurt a victim of a personal injury claim. The insurance company will offer to review a victim’s medical record and request that they sign a medical authorization. A victim should never sign this type authorization without speaking with an experienced attorney first. These types of tricks and so much more are very common, and the insurance company will use any information they obtain against a victim to deny their claim.
