Don’t Take On Insurance Companies By Yourself To receive full and fair compensation for your injuries and property damage, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side.   The truth is the likelihood of you receiving full and fair compensation is relatively low if you decide to take on the insurance companies by yourself.  There is a maze of incredibly complex legal rules and insurance claims procedures in place that make it very difficult for you to obtain everything to which you are entitled under the law on your own.    Insurance companies are in the business of making as much profit as they can.  There’s nothing wrong with that per se, but they do this by paying out as little as possible to accident victims and their families.  That’s why they sometimes aggressively fight even obviously legitimate and deserving claims.    This is true for both victims’ own insurance company as well as those of the at-fault party or parties involved in the accident.    Victims who don’t have an experienced personal injury lawyer representing them are at a tremendous disadvantage.  They generally don’t know how to realistically value their claim, how to maximize the amount of any settlement offer, and how best to prove their case.  Insurance companies and their lawyers take advantage of this inexperience and lack of knowledge to deny victims’ claim outright or pay a mere fraction of what they would have paid if an experienced personal injury lawyer were representing the victims.      Unfortunately, some insurance companies are notorious for establishing claims procedures and institutional mechanisms that make it as difficult as possible for victims to obtain fair compensation.  They have been known to deliberately make the claims process as complex and frustrating as they can in the hopes that victims will feel overwhelmed, give up, and accept lowball settlement offers.  This strategy is highly effective with respect to victims who don’t have an experienced personal injury lawyer on their side.   To make the situation even worse, victims are faced with this seemingly impossible task at a time when they are likely at their most vulnerable and desperate point in their life.  Even under the best of circumstances, it is virtually impossible for the average person alone to successfully battle insurance companies and their army of lawyers and paid expert witnesses.  No matter how obviously deserving of compensation a victim may be, no insurance company is going to simply provide a fair and reasonable settlement offer to the victim merely because he or she deserves it.    Don’t let the insurance companies decide what your claim is worth.  And don’t let them bully you into giving up valuable rights or accepting less than what you are entitled to under the law.    Contact us today for a free initial consultation and case evaluation.  We have the experience, knowledge, and resources to successfully take on the insurance companies for you.
