Part of being an Asheville car accident attorney involves speaking to many people about settling their accident claim. I've been told many times that immediately following an auto accident, a clients insurance company will contact them in attempt to settle their claim quickly. I had one client recently who had a car accident requiring significant medical care including knee surgery, and he was talked into accepting $1,100 dollars by his insurance company; an amount that surely will not cover his needs. I've put together a list of tips for how not to handle your accident claim.
Avoid self-representation. The best way to settle a claim is with the assistance of a personal injury attorney who can represent your claim. They know the laws, and your rights, and how much your claim is worth, as well as important info about damage to your vehicle, and medical bills.
Don't talk about your accident directly with your insurance company. Once you've said the wrong thing to an insurance company, it can be very difficult to settle your case properly. The safest bet is not to speak to them at all, and let your attorney handle it.
Until you have completed all of the medical treatments and procedures associated with your accident, avoid settling your claim. The insurance company will need to have all of your medical bills and records in order to properly determine the value of your case. Attempting to settle before all of your treatments are completed can result in an insufficient settlement offer.
Do not settle a car accident claim without having an attorney look per any settlement release. Before you sign anything, have an attorney look at your paperwork; I have seen insurance companies trick people into signing something that seriously harms their case.
