It may be wiser to let a lawyer deal with your insurer

Some motor vehicle accidents are minor, leaving victims with only a little property damage. Other times, accidents are much worse, leaving the victim injured and his or her family facing many personal and financial hardships. When these tragic crashes occur, the last thing families need to worry about is whether an insurer will pay a claim fairly.

As far too many motor vehicle accident survivors in Michigan know, not all insurance claims yield the best results. Like other businesses, insurance companies want to make a profit. This often means that they try to pay out as little in claims as possible. When survivors and their families do not receive as much as they expected, the financial hardships they suffer typically worsen.

In our time serving accident victims, we have seen the difficulties families face when dealing with insurance companies. This occurs for many reasons. Sometimes a victim’s emotions in the wake of a crash, make it hard to stand up to insurers. Other times, people simply do not know how to deal with insurers effectively. 

Often, injured survivors of motor vehicle accidents take the money an insurer offers even when it does not seem to cover the damages suffered. They just want the ordeal to end, which we can certainly understand. 

An approach that typically yields better results and leaves victims with the full amount of compensation they deserve involves acquiring legal counsel. When you take this approach, your lawyer can deal with insurance companies on your behalf, leaving you free to focus on recovering from your injuries.
