We Fight The Insurance Companies For You

If you’ve been injured as a result of an accident, there is likely an insurance company responsible for compensating you. The problem is that these multi-billion dollar insurance companies don’t like paying claims and can be bullies. They start from the moment they find out about your accident. They will call you repeatedly, send letters and even hire investigators to follow you. This is all done in an attempt to preserve their money because once your injured as a result of their insured’s negligence you become a liability to them. The best way to protect their assets is to obtain information that they can use against you should you pursue a claim.

That’s where we can help. If hired, our Medford personal injury attorneys will immediately reach out to all insurance companies involved in your claim and have them stop trying to communicate with you. We will handle all communications with the insurance carriers and complete any necessary forms on your behalf. Further, we will handle all negotiations with them for you. This way we can take the stress of dealing with the claims process off of your plate so you can concentrate on your recovery.

Will My Case Go To Trial?

The vast majority of cases that our Medford personal injury lawyers handle are able to be resolved without the need for a trial. We are often able to gather evidence to support your claim and persuade the insurance company for the responsible party that a settlement is in their best interests. Many time this is done without even the need for court intervention.

However, not all claims can be settled out of court and there are times when the case needs to be brought to court and a law suit filed on your behalf. Often during the discovery process a case will be settled. But, in rare circumstances where a settlement cannot be reached, a trial may be necessary.

Even though a trial is rarely held in personal injury cases, our Medford personal injury lawyers prepare every case as if it is going to be tried. From the moment we are hired until the resolution of your claim we are building a strong foundation of evidence so that when it comes time to discuss settlement, we are in a strong bargaining position and if the insurance company refuses to be reasonable, we will be ready to try the case in court and fight for the compensation that you are entitled to receive.

Should I Give A Statement To The Other Person’s Insurance Company?

Often an insurance company investigator will call and ask for a statement claiming that they are conducting a fair investigation to see if you are entitled to receive compensation. It is never a good idea to give a statement. The investigation that the insurance company is conducting is anything but fair. They are simply trying to gather information that will aid them in disputing your claim whether right or wrong. Also, it’s important to understand that you are under no legal obligation to communicate with them. So, it’s best to refuse their request for a statement.
