After getting injured in a car crash, most people are naturally concerned about how they can recover all their accident-connected losses. The sad reality is that most insurance providers will do all that they can to take advantage of injured claimants while they’re helpless and vulnerable. But dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance provider is an inescapable part of recovering compensation for a car accident.
With help from our compassionate and skilled Chicago car accident claim lawyers here at the Horwitz Law Group, you can concentrate on your recovery while we fight to ensure that you receive proper compensation for your accident-related damages, including:
Whether you are an injured driver, pedestrian, passenger, or an unlucky innocent bystander, you have all the right to recover fair compensation from the negligent party that hurt you through a car accident claim. When negligent, reckless, or distracted drivers hurt other road users, obtaining prompt medical attention is vital because this will serve as proof of their injuries.
Once you’ve gotten treatment, you must also notify your car insurance provider to report the incident. The at-fault driver’s insurer will also investigate your car accident claim to estimate how much your claim is worth, so expect to receive messages or calls from the at-fault driver’s insurance claims adjuster. This is a very crucial time in your car accident case because whatever you say to the insurance adjuster could dramatically impact your claim.
Claims adjusters are master manipulators because that’s what they’re essentially paid to do. So they usually use an injured victim’s statements against them by twisting the truth. For instance, if you say that you feel fine, the adjuster will try to claim that you’re just exaggerating your injuries or were not really injured at all.
Put simply, the adjuster is hoping that you’ll say something that could jeopardize your claim. This is why the only thing you should say to the claims adjuster is that they will be hearing from your Chicago car accident claim lawyer.
