How To Collect The Most From Insurance Companies

CarAccClaim

Personal injury laws ensure you have access to the funds you need to get back on your feet and take control of your life after suffering severe injuries in an accident because of another party’s negligence. If you were injured in an accident in Florida because of another party’s negligence, you probably wonder how you can collect the most from the at-fault party’s insurance company. If you were recently injured in a Florida accident due to another party’s negligence and are wondering how you can collect the most from the at-fault party’s insurance company, you have come to the right place. This article discusses how you can collect the most from the at-fault party’s insurance company after an accident in Florida. Read on.

Tips To Help You Collect the Most From the At-fault Party’s Insurance Company

Insurance companies are out to make profits. The primary goal of insurance companies is to keep payouts at a minimum so they can continue increasing profits. If you recently suffered severe injuries in an accident due to another party’s negligence and want to increase your chances of collecting the most from the at-fault party’s insurance company, the following are some tips to help you;

Collect as Much Evidence as Possible

You need evidence to substantiate your personal injury claim; the more evidence you have, the better. Ensure you keep detailed records of everything from the accident scene to the police reports, all your doctor’s visits, and correspondence between you and the insurance company. Also, obtain statements from as many witnesses as possible, as witness statements can help corroborate your version of events.

Retain Legal Counsel

Without the help of a personal injury attorney, it may be hard for you to know the full value of your claim. And if you don’t know the full value of your injury claim, you can’t collect the most from the insurance company. An attorney can help you understand the full value of your claim. A skilled attorney can also help you fight the dirty tricks that insurance companies use to deny or devalue personal injury claims.

Be Wary of Things You Are Asked to Sign

The at-fault party’s insurance company will likely ask you to sign documents pertaining to your accident. You should be extremely careful of anything the insurance company asks you to sign. If you are not cautious, you might sign a document that restricts your rights or prevents you from pursuing the full value of your claim. Before you sign a document, ensure your attorney reviews it.

Do Not Give a Recorded Statement

Apart from avoiding signing documents before seeking the guidance of an attorney, you should refrain from giving the insurance company a recorded statement. Insurance companies usually ask claimants to provide recorded statements so they can find things to use against them.

Do Not Admit Fault

One common mistake that personal injury claimants make that prevents them from collecting the most from insurance companies is admitting fault. To insurance companies, even an apology is an admission of guilt. Therefore, do not apologize to the at-fault party or insurance company.
