Preserving Your Case After a Serious Auto Accident Keep Your Guard Up!

All auto accidents are serious, but those that result in catastrophic injuries require special attention. In these cases, insurance companies will often use tactics designed to poke holes in a claim. Imagine coming home after spending weeks in a hospital room recovering from an injury. Waiting on your doorstep is a representative from the other driver’s insurance company! We’ve seen this happen. In instances like these, you need to keep your guard up to avoid accidentally weakening your case for compensation. If a rep from the other driver’s insurance wants to ask you questions, you can bet they are not there to help you get the biggest settlement possible. They may seem like a friendly face simply asking about your situation, but look for the bias in their questioning. Odds are they are trying to poke holes in your case, no matter how innocent the questions appear. Now, that’s not to say that these representatives are bad people. They’re simply doing their job. Remember that insurance companies make money by paying out the lowest amount possible on claims. Under no circumstance should you give a statement to an insurance rep without first speaking to an attorney. You should be polite in your deflections but firm in

your conviction to consult with an attorney before making a statement that might end up affecting your case. These questions usually arrive when you’re most vulnerable. If you’ve suffered serious injuries, you should be focused on recovery, not making sure all of your statements are consistent. That’s where an experienced attorney can help you through the process. In our years of experience representing auto accident victims, The Law Office of James R. Snell Jr. has seen insurance companies try any number of tactics to damage valid claims. You might be thinking about putting your life back together after a tragedy, but they’re thinking about their bottom line.

Don’t let anyone trick you into damaging your case. You’ve been through enough! Let an attorney worry about your case so you can worry about getting better.
