When an insurance policy policy holder is involved in a personal injury Motor Vehicle Accident there are some things that insurance companies would just as soon not let anyone know. The reason for contacting an attorney right away are many and one reason is simply because, evidence can be lost as each day passes without an attorney at your side. Also, many insurance companies adjusters are not above trickery or other unfair and unjust methods to reduce their insurance carriers responsibility in in an accident case.
The very first thing that many insurance companies will do is to send out an investigator to the accident scene. They will interview all witnesses. They will also call the victim’s home and try to interview the victim and tape record the conversation. Those involved in the accident should know that they should just decline an interview until their Auto Accident Attorney is present from Schnitzer Law. It stands to reason that these adjusters are working for the insurance company only and will try to decrease their liability in the accident. Never, ever consent to any recorded statements without Schnitzer Law Attorney being present.
Another important factor is to get checked out by the hospital, because even if you think that you are not suffering from a serious injury at the time, you may be wrong and that minor discomfort may manifest in a few days or weeks into a serious medical condition. If you get no treatment at all for what you think are minor injuries, then by the time you find out the medical problems are serious, you may have unwittingly given the insurance company a defense to the medical part of your case. What you may initially think are minor injuries can in some cases be serious enough to permanently decrease quality of life and interfere with your ability to provide for yourself or your family. If you get immediate medical treatment and the problems go away after a few weeks than you are safe.
