When To Contact A Personal Injury Attorney

You should contact a personal injury attorney immediately after being injured in an accident. Deciding to hire an attorney can be tough, but remember that insurance companies prioritize their own interests over yours. An experienced personal injury lawyer can dramatically improve your chances of receiving fair compensation for your injuries, and getting a lawyer involved as early as possible will make things much easier than the alternative.

Dealing With Insurance Claims Adjusters

You need to understand what exactly it is you’re dealing with when interacting with insurance claims adjusters. Their role, simply put, is to minimize the compensation you receive. Although they may seem friendly, they aren’t your friend—their job is to reduce the value of your claim. 

This doesn’t necessarily make them bad people, but it does mean you need someone on your side to ensure fair treatment. Additionally, adjusters often don’t return calls promptly, which can be frustrating, to say the least and without a lawyer, the adjusters may not even return your call at all. Partnering with an attorney can help push the process forward because they will stay on top of the adjuster to ensure timely communication.

Help You Through The Claims Process

An experienced personal injury attorney can help you in several ways, but perhaps the most central is how they will ensure all critical evidence is preserved. Additionally, they can help you access and schedule any medical treatment you may need. They can accurately assess the true value of your claim and recognize tactics insurance companies use to reduce or deny payments.

At the Gennusa Firm, our attorneys handle the entire process, staying on top of unresponsive adjusters and explaining every step of the way to ensure you understand why certain actions are taken for your benefit.
