compensating you. So on June 28, and every other day, stay aware of some of the ways insurance companies will try to trick you into getting less than what you deserve.
As you get older, it’s not uncommon to drift further from the lifestyle you had in your 20s and 30s. Things have settled down, and you know a bit more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what you’re capable of. With this better understanding, you can make choices more aligned with your true interests and personality. Think about getting involved with a new activity you may have always wanted to try but never had the chance, like yoga or even a video game. Trying out new things keeps your brain active. You may even discover a new favorite activity along the way!
THEY’LL CATCH YOU WHILE YOU’RE DOWN.
In the immediate aftermath of an auto accident, your insurance provider will try to get you to assess your injuries right away to determine a settlement. Sometimes, they’ll even send someone to your home or the hospital to get you to settle. Don’t fall for this ploy.

Go for a walk and listen to the world around you, feel the fresh air against your skin, fill your lungs, and take in everything you can see. Meditation is also a good way to spend a few minutes to focus on your body in the moment and the things in
THEY’LL DOWNPLAY THE SEVERITY OF YOUR INJURIES.
Insurance companies will do anything to convince you and anyone else who matters that your injuries aren’t as bad as you claim. Sometimes they will send you to one of their “independent” doctors, who are actually predisposed to downplaying your injuries for the insurance company’s benefit. Other times, they will collect surveillance of you doing activities that make it seem like you’re not really as injured as you claim. Don’t be taken in by these schemes.
life that make you happy. Practices like these can help you feel lighter, both physically and emotionally. Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.
THEY’LL TELL YOU THAT YOU DON’T NEED A LAWYER.
Most insurance companies know that consulting an experienced attorney is the best way for you to get fairly compensated, so they will do everything they can to dissuade you from working with one or tell you you’re better off without one.
