There is always the possibility that we’ll be able to negotiate with the insurance company, but it’s important to keep in mind that the insurer is unlikely to be on your side or willing to compensate you reasonably. They are usually going to do everything they can to reduce the amount that they’ll be obligated to pay you, even if that means manipulating any statements you give them to make you appear more at fault than you are. With this in mind, we strongly advise that you allow us to handle any communications with the insurance company so your award is protected from their sometimes-avaricious business practices.
