Let Us Deal With the Insurance Company

Insurance companies want you to settle with them before you talk to us. To entice you to do so, they might call shortly after the accident, dangling a fast settlement offer in front of you, hoping you will take it to get money in your pocket quickly.

By accepting this quick settlement, you might receive less compensation than you deserve. Before taking the insurance company’s call, keep in mind a few things:

Many Insurance Companies Operate for Profit

Like any business, an insurance company wants to maximize the money coming in and limit the money that it has to pay out for claims and other expenses. The insurance company’s business interest could result in the insurance company wrongly paying you less than you deserve or denying your claim altogether.

The Insurance Company Employs Highly Skilled Negotiators

Because the settlement process is so important to an insurance company financially, it employs skilled negotiators to deal with accident victims, sometimes using tough tactics to convince them to accept an offer that almost certainly pays less than the victim deserves.

One of these tactics is offering a quick settlement. Insurance companies also ask you for recorded statements. While the insurance company has a right to investigate the accident, you should speak with a lawyer before you speak with the insurance company. Anything you say to the insurance company can be used against you. For example, if the insurance adjuster asks how you are doing and you say that “you are okay” because you don’t want to sound like a complainer, the adjuster might take that to mean that you are not seriously injured. However, you may have meant that you are doing okay, but you are still dealing with your accident injuries. You should speak to a lawyer before speaking with the insurance company.

A car accident lawyer who has experience dealing with insurance companies’ negotiators can help protect you and maximize your compensation.

You Are Entitled to Attorney Representation

The insurance company could try to convince you that you do not need a car accident attorney to help you with your claim. While the law does not require you to hire an attorney, hiring one can protect your claim and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

We Fight for You So That You Can Recover Your Damages

As we investigate your accident, we can calculate the damages you are eligible to receive and come up with a dollar figure representing what your claim is worth. It might include any of the following damages:

• Current and future medical costs;
• Lost wages;
• Reduced earning capacity;
• Pain and suffering.

Our attorneys also understand Rhode Island car accident laws, which includes comparative negligence in cases of shared fault. Put simply, we can help you recover damages from the other party even if you were partially at fault for the crash.
