Step One: Learn What’s Behind Each Door
The moment you have been injured and contact any insurance company, you begin making decisions that may affect your rights and potential recovery. Don't make any assumptions (my insurance company is on my side) or decisions without a legal consultation.
Personal Injury Myths
Myth:
My insurance company is on my side.
Truth: Insurance companies are for profit. The less they pay for claims, the more profitable they are - even if it's your insurance company.
Myth: Attorneys are too expensive. I can keep more if I don't pay legal fees.
Truth: Attorney's fees are on a contingency basis from any recovery. You never pay fees out of your own pocket. And, represented claimants generally stand to recover more, even after legal fees.
Myth: I have health insurance, so I don't need an attorney.
Truth: Most health insurance policies are entitled to claim a subrogation interest, or lien, against your third-party recovery, whether you have an attorney or not. Experienced attorneys can reduce these claims against your recovery.
