Insurance Companies and Accident Attorneys
You have certain rights when dealing with insurance companies. The best accident attorney will be able to advise you of your rights. Even if your own insurance company provides an attorney for your auto accident case, you should retain a separate attorney. Your insurance company’s attorney is not the best accident attorney for you, as their attorney is representing them.
The insurance company is looking for a judgment or settlement that fits in their best interests. If you are involved in an auto accident, after contacting the police and the insurance company, contact your own personal injury attorney. You do not have to answer any questions until you contact your own attorney – in fact, you should wait to speak to your own attorney before answering any questions, especially if you plan on filing a lawsuit. The best accident attorney is an accident attorney that will watch out for your best interests, not the best interests of the insurance company.
