LISTEN TO YOUR LAWYER!
As a Dedham car accident lawyer with over 30+ years of experience, I recommend speaking with legal counsel as early in the process as possible. Speaking with a lawyer about your car accident claim lessens the chance that you will make an irreversible mistake in your case. Hiring your own personal injury lawyer means that you have someone who knows the claims process on your side to guide and support you.
How Insurance Companies Calculate a Car Accident Settlement Offer
Before accepting anything, it's a good idea to ask if car accident claim software was used in helping the insurer arrive at a settlement offer. If a computerized system was used, ask the insurance claims adjustor to provide the “range” of offers that were generated, from low to high. Do not accept any offer that is less than the high end of the range. If the insurance company is not willing to pay out the high end, ask for a written explanation. If the explanation is not sufficient, considerer filing a complaint with insurance regulators or seek legal help. A car accident attorney will be willing to assist you in your case.
