Some people think that when they have been in an automobile accident, their insurance company will take care of them, and legal representation won?t be necessary.

Not only can this belief cost you money, but can also cost you valuable time in your road to recovery.

You must remember that in this situation, the damage does not stop with your vehicle. There are medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, car rentals, and household bills that may go unpaid if you are forced to miss time from work. An experienced Personal Injury attorney can go to bat for you with the insurance companies, and make sure that ALL of your needs are taken care of, not just one or two important things.

It is the job of the insurance company to keep costs down, and one way to do that is to minimize your personal injury claims. By giving you the bare minimum, they save themselves millions every year. Don?t be caught in the insurance game - they will win everytime!

Remember, save everything! Receipts for prescriptions, car rentals, etc. The insurance company will need to reimburse you for everything that comes out of your pocket as a result of your injuries. It?s a good idea to give the doctors and hospitals where you are treated our information so that they can send their records and bills directly to us. Your settlement depends on the severity of your injuries, along with your loss of time. By that we mean time that you would have normally spent doing something productive! Have you lost work time? Are you unable to spend quality time with your spouse and children? All of this, not just medical bills, should be compensated. The "at fault" driver has, in essence, robbed you of your ability to accomplish your natural daily routine.

You may be contacted by either insurance company shortly after your accident. Never discuss your case with anyone else. If your insurance company, or that of the other driver contacts you, please do not answer any questions before you contact our office, and never sign anything without speaking with your attorney first. You may, of course, give them our office information and politely tell them to contact us.
