Car Accident in NY: Claims Examiner Offers You $$$. Do You Take It?



You have been involved in a car accident and the claims examiner for the insurance company calls you and offers you a few thousand dollars to immediately settle your claim. Do you take it? Do you know the true value of your injuries? What do you do if the insurance company sends you a settlement check in the mail without you ever asking or negotiating for it?

When the insurance adjuster calls to ask how you are doing, do you politely say "I'm doing great, how are you?" If you have ongoing medical issues that require continuing medical treatment, who is going to pay for your medical bills? What type of permanent disability or injury will you have in the future? Will it affect your ability to work, earn income and build wealth? Will it affect your ability to interact with your family, your kids and your significant other?

Importantly, do you know why the insurance company's interests are directly opposite your interests when trying to resolve a claim or lawsuit?

If you understand all the details and nuances of resolving claims and lawsuits in New York following a car accident, then I applaud you. In all likelihood, you are probably an experienced NY personal injury trial attorney who handles these types of cases every day. However, you probably do not deal with these issues on a daily basis and do not have the experience necessary to make educated decisions about what is the right course of action for you. In that instance it is an absolute requirement that you seek experienced legal counsel to get your questions answered.
