PERSONAL INJURY

Insurance Adjusters Are Not on Your Side

Insurance companies are in it for the money and remain profitable by increasing policyholder premiums and settling car accident claims for less money than they did a few years back. 

Trying to represent yourself when dealing with the insurance company can lead to your claim getting denied or being resolved for less than what it is actually worth.  Don't fall prey to tactics designed to cheat you out of a fair settlement. For an honest, no-strings attached assessment of your case, give us a call.

Is It Worth Getting a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer will initially cost you nothing out of pocket. Our accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we do not get paid unless we recover compensation for you. Our accident injury lawyers may also increase your chances of receiving a larger settlement or verdict.

In many cases, accident attorneys can negotiate with insurance companies to increase the amount of compensation offered. They may also file suit against the at-fault party or their insurance company if those parties offer to settle at an unfair amount. If negotiations continue poorly, the attorney can take the case to court.

The goal is always to get you full and fair compensation for your accident claim as quickly as possible. So, getting the help of an experienced Kern County personal injury attorney is always advisable.

  • How Can a Car Accident Attorney Help Me?
    Studies show that car accident victims who hire attorneys receive much larger settlements than those who do not. Resist the urge to handle your own accident case, only to have problems arise later. A good attorney can help preserve evidence, answer your questions, and give you the peace of mind knowing that your case will be handled correctly and ensure that any settlement is in your best interests, not those of the insurance company.
  • Should I Still See a Doctor Even Though I Do Not Feel Injured Right Now?

    Yes, seek medical treatment, as a doctor may be able to prevent an injury from getting worse. Even if you do not have current medical coverage, let us know, and we can help you get medical treatment without any upfront costs.

  • Should I Give a Recorded Statement to the Insurance Company?

    No. While giving a recorded statement might sound like a good opportunity to tell "your side of the story," the adjuster will be seeking information which could result in it being denied. Also, if your case goes to trial, inconsistencies in your statement can be used as evidence against you. Resist the urge to give a statement without having an attorney on the case.

  • How Long Does a Car Accident Lawsuit Take?

    Several factors can impact the speed of a case, including the severity of injuries and length of medical treatment. Generally, while straightforward cases can be resolved in a couple of months, more complex ones can take longer to resolve, especially if the case results in a lawsuit or goes to trial.
