Car accidents and the paperwork aftermath can be a stressful and taxing ordeal. In an effort to recoup money for lost wages, medical bills, and car repairs, people are all too willing to accept a check from an insurance company. A check can be tempting, but don't be too eager to settle. The insurance company that you're dealing with will want immediate resolution and knows that offering a check will ultimately rob you of your legal right to fair compensation. The insurance company is looking out for their best interests, not the accident victim's.
It's imperative that you hire an attorney to help you through the bureaucracy of a personal injury claim. As the sum of your medical expenses and lost wages surpass the amount originally offered to you, you will be thankful you hired an attorney to advocate on your behalf. Many times people may not be aware of how injured they actually are and will begin experiencing residual pain from car accident injuries later on. Before agreeing to any type of personal injury settlement be sure to consult with an attorney.
