What should I do if the construction company or subcontractor offers me a settlement?
Construction companies usually have insurance companies that provide coverage for accidents that occur on those construction sites. Following an accident, you may get a call or written offer from the insurance company that covers a contractor or subcontractor, or from the construction company directly.
Many people assume that this offer will represent a fair and reasonable offer based on the insurance policy and the extent of your injuries. While it might, insurance companies may attempt to minimize their financial liability after a serious construction accident by issuing a low settlement offer. If you accept that offer, you may prevent yourself from receiving the full compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Before accepting that offer, talk to our Bradenton construction accident attorneys about your accident, your bills, and the companys offer. Consider how that offer compares to your long-term expenses. An experienced personal injury attorney may help evaluate the coverage likely carried by a construction company and how that could impact the compensation you deserve.
