Why is it important for car accident victims to seek legal advise prior to settling their claim?

 

A:

Not all insurance adjusters are shady but there are some that will not be truthful or fair in their negotiations when settling your claim.

For example. You may have been injured in an automobile accident and taken to the hospital by ambulance. No doubt you likely spent several hours maybe even days in the hospital. All of which accumulates quite a bill. After you leave the hospital you may need to continue your medical treatment. Nonetheless, the insurance company of the at fault driver may contact you to see how you are feeling and progressing with your treatment. The adjuster may offer to make a payment to you to cover your bills that have started coming in. In all likelihood once you receive that check it may very well be accompanied with a “full and final release” that has to be signed or either it is noted as “full and final” on the check. This is in contrast to your original conversation with the adjuster. However, once you sign a check for “full and final release” your case is over!

Not all adjusters work in this unethical manner however; there are some who for whatever reason be it numbers or money they push to settle as many cases as possible as quickly as possible. Although you do not always have to retain an attorney to settle your claim you most definitely need to have a full understanding of your claim and all documents you may be asked to sign. Keep in mind the adjusters are highly trained and educated to save their company as much money as possible. Prepare yourself for the same.
