It happens to people in Connecticut every day. Has this happened to you? You are injured in an accident. You get a call from the insurance adjustor representing the other driver. The adjustor assures you that they are ready to settle — and that you don't need a lawyer. What do you do?
Here are some tips that might help you make a decision about what to do:
- The first thing you do is consult a lawyer. Why? It costs you nothing. At Jacobs & Jacobs, all initial telephone and office consultations are free.
- You will have someone on your side, an attorney who will represent you, explain your rights, and give you sound professional advice.
These are a few of the risks of not consulting a lawyer:
- The insurance company will do a prompt and thorough investigation
before witnesses and evidence disappear. You won't. - The insurance company will know the laws that apply to your case.
You won't. - The insurance company can take a statement from you that is incomplete or misleading. You won't know until it's too late.
- The insurance company knows the true settlement value of your case.
You don't. - The insurance company has unlimited financial resources. You don't.
- The insurance company may mislead you about the merits or value of your case. You won't know.
