It’s another slow morning. You get up with last night still weighing down on your eyes, and you proceed through your morning habit partly numb. You eventually roll out the door with a slice of toast and a to-go glass of coffee and head to your job. Traffic, as normal, is unhurried. You are doing your usual thing, changing radio stations and sipping coffee to keep rush hour from driving you out of your mind. As you cross an intersection at the beginning of a yellow light, the coupé in front of you screeches to a stop and you do the same, then SLAM! Out of nowhere a grey sedan slams into your passenger side sending your car flying onto the sidewalk.
Not an impossible story, actually almost certainly something we have all experienced short of the mishap. It could happen to anybody. If you’re blessed, the accident will be a insignificant bump or grazing strike that results in no accidental injuries. But what if you do have! injured?
The course from here will become miserable and frenzied. Indemnity companies from either side may attempt to get around paying out premiums, and may go to great lengths to do so. You may possibly be interrogated by the other person’s insurance company’s lawyers or adjusters and asked piercing questions: “Wasn’t the light actually red when you entered the intersection?” “Did you really need to halt that fast?” “How much attention were you paying?”
You don’t want to go head to head with an insurance company, and you don’t need to. Personal injury attorneys exist for this purpose, to protect you after a car accident. They can speak to all involved parties on your behalf and let you relax and mend. The claim process will be handled out of sight, and with any luck out of mind by your legal representation.
Do not take a chance if you are harmed in an auto accident. Hire a personal injury lawyer to make sure you do not get worked over by the insurance companies. It’s just a different type of cover – as well as 1 you can’t afford not to get!
