Have you tried to settle your own car wreck or injury claim?
Does this sound familiar? Probably so if you tried to settle your own Tennessee or Mississippi accident or injury case.
I had a phone call today from someone who was injured in a car wreck here in Memphis back in November, let’s call her Lady A. She had been injured in a car wreck which was no fault of her own and the at-fault driver did not have any insurance. When Lady A attempted to recover for the damages done to her vehicle, medical bills and lost wages her insurance company, which she pays monthly premiums to, only offered to pay her a small percentage of these costs.
What should Lady A do?
Luckily Lady A had ordered my book “7 Deadly Mistakes That Can KILL Your Memphis Accident Case” and read it. She knew that she needed to get tougher with the insurance adjuster if she wanted to handle the claim on her own. When she called my office I gave her a few other tips to help her collect the most that she can for her injuries. Hopefully she’ll get the money she is owed and will be able to handle her case. However, adjusters can be very tough to deal with and very aggressive. She asked me if I would agree to accept her case if she wasn’t able to reach a successful settlement on her own. I’m betting that I’ll be getting a call within the next week to help her handle this “smooth talking” adjuster.
Lady A’s case is similar to what a lot of my clients go through. They originally try to handle their car wreck or injury claim on their own, only to be frustrated by adjusters who are only there to make a profit for their company and not to help an injured client. At that point they turn to a good injury or accident lawyer here in Memphis to help them with their case. As attorneys who deal with insurance companies and adjusters on a daily basis, we can help you get what’s owed. Without all of the hassle of doing it on your own.
