It’s another slow morning. You wake up with last night still weighing down on your eyes, and you progress through your early routine half numb. You finally walk out the door with a slice of toast and a to-go cup of coffee and head to work. Traffic, as normal, is dawdling. You are doing your everyday thing, changing radio stations and sipping coffee to keep rush hour from driving you insane. As you cross over an intersection at the beginning of a yellow, the van in front of you slams to a stop and you do the same, and then SLAM! From nowhere a navy vehicle slams into your passenger side sending your car careening into the sidewalk.
Not a far fetched story, in reality possibly something we have all experienced short of the mishap. It can happen to anyone. If you are fortunate, the accident will be a small bump or grazing blow that results in no accidental injuries. But what if you do get! hurt?
The course from there will become miserable and frenzied. Indemnity companies from each side may seek to avoid paying premiums, and will go to great lengths to do so. You may be interviewed by the other person’s indemnity company’s lawyers or adjusters and asked critical questions: “Wasn’t the light actually red when you entered the intersection?” “Did you actually need to halt that fast?” “How much attention were you actually paying?”
You don’t want to go toe to toe with an insurance company, and you do not need to. Personal injury attorneys exist for this purpose, to protect you and your family after an automobile accident. They will speak to all interested parties on your behalf and let you take it easy and get better. The claim process can be taken care of out of view, furthermore with any luck out of mind by your legal staff.
Do not take a chance if you are injured in an auto accident. Employ a personal injury lawyer to make certain you don’t become worked over by the indemnity companies. It’s just an additional form of indemnity – and one you can not afford not to get!
