Consult An Attorney Before Dealing With Insurance Companies,
It is always best to consult a lawyer immediately after a car accident. You can at a minimum report the accident to your insurance company.
You should not speak to or give a statement about the other party’s insurer company. It may use your statement against your claim to reduce or deny your personal injury claim.
Trucking companies and insurance agents will attempt to place the blame on the victims of an auto or truck accident to avoid paying settlements. They want to pay as little or nothing as possible to all those involved in an accident. An insurance agent is a professional who works for a living. The average person is not equipped to defend their rights or fight for justice in such situations.
