Even though insurance companies are supposed to cover you in the event of an accident, insurance adjusters often try to present as low a compensation offer as possible after a claim has been filed. It can be easy to accept money given to you when facing medical bills and other debts, but initial offers rarely cover the extent of your damages.
Instead of accepting an insurance company’s settlement offer, speak with a pedestrian injury attorney. Your case is likely worth much more than what an insurance company will offer initially. You owe it to yourself not to face financial hardship caused by someone else’s negligence.
