Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side

After a pedestrian accident, it is common to hear from the insurance company quickly. They may appear polite, concerned, or helpful. This does not mean their priorities match yours. Insurance companies aim to protect their financial interests and often work to minimize the amount they pay on claims.

Their approach can include:

• Asking for recorded statements that may later be used to challenge your account of the accident
• Downplaying the severity of your injuries
• Questioning medical treatment or attributing injuries to preexisting conditions
• Pressuring you to accept a settlement before the full impact of your injuries is known
  

Speaking with an insurance adjuster without legal guidance can put your claim at risk. Once a settlement is accepted, you usually lose the ability to seek additional compensation if your injuries worsen or new complications arise.
