1. An attorney can deal directly with the insurance carrier.
When you try to deal directly with the insurance company, they often tell you that no matter what you do, you're not going to get more than what they're currently offering. Don't believe them. There is a good chance that hiring an attorney will increase the amount you recover by more than enough to cover the contingency fee (the fee to a lawyer).
2. Working with an attorney will minimize the hassle.
The details of your case can be complicated and a hassle if you do not have the experience. Our legal team can deal with medical bills, PIP, property damage, rental cars and the details that can make your life complicated after an accident. In short, we make things easy, so you can focus on recovery.
3. You need an advocate on your side.
Remember that throughout the claims process, you will not have an advocate on your side unless you hire an attorney. Insurance companies make money by denying or paying as little as possible on claims. That's their job. It's not their job to take care of a victim and make sure they're fairly treated.
Even if you have someone on the phone saying, "We're sorry you were in an accident. We want to make sure everything's okay. We want to take care of you," remember the reality is that they're there to resolve your claim for the least amount of money possible.
4. Taking steps on your own could result in waived claims.
Without an attorney, you may inadvertently waive your rights to damages and future claims. Do not sign any settlement with an insurance company without first consulting with an experienced attorney who can explain your rights and determine the full value of your claim.
Take action now to protect your future. Call Carman & Bevington, P.A., at 813-654-3444 or contact our office to schedule a consultation with a Brandon, Florida, attorney. It won't cost you anything to speak with an experienced lawyer and learn more about your legal options.
