Avoid Myths: Hire a Lawyer to Help You Against the Insurance Company!

Unfortunately, well over 100,000 people will be injured by others in motor vehicle accidents this year in Pennsylvania .   Each year, I estimate that thousands of people never take any action to claim the monetary compensation that they rightly deserve.   Some folks make the mistake of trying to handle their cases without a lawyer, either because they get bad advice from insurance companies, friends or relatives, or because they are afraid, intimidated, or confused.   Don’t let that happen to you.   After getting hurt in a car crash, tractor trailer accident or motorcycle wreck, you need an aggressive auto accident attorney to help you fight the insurance company. 

Many myths exist about injury claims, just like anything else.   If you are thinking about handling your auto injury accident case by yourself, here a few common myths:

·         If you write the other driver’s insurance company a letter and you are reasonable, you will get a fair insurance settlement proposal.

·         When you are in an accident and the other driver’s insurance company calls you to ask for a recorded statement, you have to give them one or they won’t settle with you.

·         The other driver’s insurance company must pay your medical bills as you incur them.

·         The other driver’s insurance company has a duty to treat you fairly and an obligation to use good faith.

·         If you go to court and just tell your story, the jury will feel sorry for you and award you adequate damages to compensate you for all your losses.

·         Pennsylvania juries are always fair and generous.
