Most personal injury claims are settled outside of court with insurance. They will be well represented by a legal team throughout negotiations and a trial, if needed. Shouldn’t you? When you hire your own lawyer, you level the playing field with the insurance company.
It is common for insurance representatives to call potential plaintiffs within days of an accident to obtain statements that could harm the claim, or to pressure an early and low settlement. However, when you have an attorney, the insurance representatives, bill collectors, and lawyers have to stop calling. That’s a level of protection most clients can’t afford to lose.
Experienced attorneys also anticipate and know how to respond to common tactics insurance companies use to minimize their payout. These include pushing blame on the claimant or other people, downplaying the effect of injuries, or claiming that the injuries were caused by something else. Rutter Mills attorneys are prepared to prove your claim all the way, seeing through these moves so you can recover what you are owed.
