Insurance companies Are not Watching Out for your best interests When you've been injured in an auto or truck collision

I'm Brian Lewis, and id like to share a few tips with you about insurance companies and automobile collisions.

If you've been injured in an automobile collision, the insurance company for the driver who hit you has one goal: to get to you before you get to a lawyer.

Don't be fooled; the insurance company is not watching out for your best interests.

Here are a few things that you should never agree to do if you've been injured in an automobile collision:

  1. Don't give a recorded statement: the insurance company for the driver who hit you will contact you within days of the crash and try to get you to give a recorded statement. The goal—the purpose in doing this—is to use this statement against you at trial if you ever decide to file a lawsuit. Don't do it.
  2. Don't take short money. If you've been seriously injured in a crash, the insurance company knows that you are likely to file a lawsuit. The trick is to offer you money up front, and get you to sign a waiver, which relinquishes all of your rights to file a lawsuit down the line. You can be sure that the money the insurance company offers you upfront is insufficient to cover your needs, and is far less than you deserve.
Also, if you've been injured in a bus collision or a truck collision, you can be certain that the insurance company for the bus driver or the truck driver has a team of investigators at the scene within hours of the crash. You, too, are entitled to have an accident investigation conducted immediately, and while that's the last thing you might be thinking about when you're recovering or when you're grieving the loss of a loved one, that's where we come in.
