There is a good chance that an insurance company will make you an offer if you have been hurt in an accident. They have the ability to persuade and provide the impression that their offer is either accepted or rejected.
The truth is that you should speak with a personal injury lawyer like Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas whenever you receive an insurance settlement, regardless of whether it relates to a dog bite, a car accident, or something else entirely. Here are five reasons. Contact us at 909-982-0707 to request a free legal consultation.
1. The insurance provider is not on your side
Many of the clients we work with are astonished to hear that, even when it is their own insurance company, most insurance firms in California are not required to act in their customers’ best interests. Their stockholders are their only and top priority. This holds true for all forms of insurance, including health and homeowner’s.
If you have not called us for a free case evaluation, do not assume that the insurance company is giving you a decent bargain without first dialing 909-982-0707.
2. Insurance firms will probably begin with a small offer
You might look at the settlement number and believe it looks fair, but keep in mind that there are many complex ways to calculate losses, and the insurance company is probably choosing the approach that will pay you the least amount of money. This is how many individuals wind up accepting much less than they are legally entitled to.
3. Most likely, you are unaware of your current damages
People who have been in car accidents frequently believe they are alright in the immediate aftermath of the collision, only to learn several days or weeks later that they have suffered injuries. Both physical harm and material damage fall under this. This is why we never advise our clients to reach a settlement before we have firmly established the extent of the injuries and damages.
4. You will be constrained in your choices
Have you ever questioned the motives behind the insurance companies’ settlement offer to you? Simple: It helps them save money. Accepting a settlement typically requires you to sign a statement stating that you will not file further lawsuits.
5. You are not putting your finances at risk by taking on a personal injury case
You have no financial risk if you decide to pursue a personal injury case. A free case examination is the first step we take at Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas. All you have to do to get started is give us a call at 909-982-0707! If we determine that you have a case and wish to proceed, we will accept your case on a contingency basis, which means that you will not be required to pay us anything unless we obtain compensation for you. You owe us nothing in the absence of a settlement.
Call us right away at 909-982-0707 if you are prepared to take action and learn more about your alternatives.
