At some point in the process it becomes obvious to most people that even their own insurance company isn’t dealing fairly with them when it comes to the property damage settlement on their vehicle. You need to know a few things about personal injury insurance claims:
The Insurance Company has One Goal: Settle your case for the lowest possible amount
This is why you should hire an experienced lawyer if you are injured due to someone else’s negligence in Irvine or Mission Viejo. While they may seem very friendly and genuinely concerned (they are trained to be so), insurance adjusters are focused on one mission: resolve your case for the lowest possible amount. Period. They are highly trained and skilled in many different tactics they can use to convince you to take a much smaller amount than you should deserve (or nothing) and protect profits for their insurance company.
I know first hand. For the first 20 years of my practice I represented the insurance companies – names you would know. I know their deceptive tactics. I can share one important fact with you:
Insurance adjusters are under more pressure and are offering the lowest settlement amounts in my 40+ years of experience. It isn’t just or fair.
I have had more cases than I can tell you about here, where the insurance company initially offered a few thousand or low 5 figures ($10,000) for cases I settled or took to trial and got hundreds of thousands for my clients. They need to know you will stand up to them, and have the legal team behind you to do so. They keep records on every injury attorney, and they know the difference between experienced and effective attorneys who can and will beat them in a trial, versus those who quickly settle for low offers time and again.
The difference to you is substantial. You only have one chance to settle your claim, and if something comes up later you cannot go back for more. This is why you should hire an experienced lawyer if you are injured in a car accident or due to someone else’s negligence in Irvine or Mission Viejo.
I invite you to review the comments and recommendations of my clients, peers and the recommendations of the legal industry and contact us or call (949)305-1400 to speak with me personally for a free consultation.
I can and will make a substantial difference in the net amount you receive, and your resulting ability to recover from what has happened and move forward with your life.
And it won’t cost you a thing out of pocket as we work on a contingency fee basis.
