insurance after an accident

At Buckeye Law Group, we understand that dealing with insurance companies after an accident can be frustrating. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, which means accident victims are often offered settlements that don’t fully cover their medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. In this blog, we will provide advice on how to deal with insurance companies after an accident and how our legal team can help protect your rights and maximize your compensation.

Steps to Take When Dealing with Insurance Companies

  1. Report the Accident Promptly Notify your insurance provider as soon as possible after the accident. Share basic details like the time, location, and nature of the incident. However, refrain from making statements that could be used against you later. Always consult with a lawyer before giving too much information.
  2. Understand Your Coverage Review your insurance policy so you fully understand your coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions. Knowing what is covered will help you navigate the claims process more effectively and avoid surprises.
  3. Don’t Accept the First Settlement Offer Insurance companies may try to offer a quick settlement that is much lower than what you truly deserve. It’s important not to accept the first offer without first consulting an experienced attorney who can help evaluate whether the offer is fair.
  4. Document All Communications Keep detailed records of all communications with your insurance company, including emails, phone calls, and letters. These records may become essential if there is a dispute about the claim or settlement offer.
  5. Consult with a Personal Injury Attorney Insurance companies may pressure you into accepting a lower settlement. Working with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney ensures you have someone on your side who will negotiate on your behalf and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
