If you want to get the compensation to which the law entitles you, you should retain an attorney. Insurance companies regularly engage in tactics designed to get injury victims to settle for less than their cases are worth. A lawyer can protect your rights and make the insurance company treat you fairly.
If you’ve suffered a burn injury, you may be speaking with an adjuster or representative from the responsible party’s insurer. In most cases, these people are very friendly and seem like they earnestly want to help you.
That’s because that’s their job. The primary goal of the insurance company is to resolve cases with as little cash outlay as possible. If they can make your case go away with a smaller settlement, they consider that a win.
These adjusters know you are likely facing medical bills and could be losing income from work. With this in mind, the first offer they extend to you is sure to be a low-ball offer. In some cases, they may not give you an offer at all.
When you hire legal counsel, your attorney will tabulate all the damages you are entitled to. They will consider your past, current, and future needs. They’ll account for your economic and non-economic damages, including pain and suffering.
In short, your attorney knows the fair value of your case. At Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC, we’ll pursue the full compensation you deserve.
