An insurance claim is the first step in most personal injury cases. While you might think that the liable insurer will offer you a reasonable settlement amount that will cover all of your accident-related expenses and other eligible losses, the sad fact is that most do not. It often takes the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney from Mevorah & Giglio Law Offices to get as much compensation as you deserve.
Insurance Companies Are Not Your Friends
When policyholders pay their insurance premiums, their insurer agrees to pay valid claims. Unfortunately, these companies do not like issuing payouts. When you file a claim against them, an insurance adjuster investigates your accident to determine how much your case is worth. With that figure in mind, the insurance company will likely make a lowball offer. They know full well how much they should pay, but if you accept a lower amount, they get to save money. Once you accept and sign a settlement offer, you cannot ask for more compensation.
