Do not enter into discussions with the liable party yourself
Do not argue with the liable insurer or their agents yourself. After an accident, they will contact you to gather information and assess the accident. While this may seem harmless, negotiating on your own without legal support can be detrimental to your case.
How insurers and intermediaries operate
The person responsible for the accident must report it to their insurer. Then the insurer often contacts you. Sometimes they will even send an intermediary over to convince you of quick solutions.
– Gathering information: Insurers and intermediaries ask questions to assess their liability and your claim.
– Risk of incorrect commitments: Incorrect answers or commitments can be used against you later.
The dangers of self-negotiation
Negotiating yourself can lead to lower compensation or even complications in your personal injury case. Without legal knowledge, you miss crucial details that can strengthen your case.
- Outsource negotiations: A personal injury lawyer knows exactly what information is relevant and how it should be presented.
- Avoid mistakes: Your lawyer will ensure that your best interests are represented.
