Insurance Claim Delays
You might not need a Virginia accident lawyer, but before you talk with the insurance adjuster, order a copy of the book, Five Deadly Sins that Can Wreck Your Injury Claim.
You are probably wondering what happened to the "friendly" and "helpful" insurance adjuster who was so persistent right after your Virginia car accident. The adjuster might have even called you within a couple of days following the event. You provided the information that was requested, even though some things appeared to be unnecessary. Yet, you still haven't received any type of settlement offer and the medical bills continue to grow. What is going on here?
There is a name for this type of insurance company tactic and it is known as deliberate delay. The insurance company knows that you are in a financial bind from your Virginia auto accident and the more time that goes by, the better the odds that you will accept a low settlement. By the time the insurance company finally makes you an offer, you are so desperate that you would accept just about anything thrown your way.

It happens time and time again.
We have heard of countless cases where the insurance company dragged its feet in offering a settlement. In fact, we have consulted with accident victims who have been asked to provide information to the insurance companies, but the insurers give nothing in return. During some of these cases, the adjusters are changed numerous times and each time a new one comes on board, information is gathered all over again.
What often ends up happening is the insurance companies continue to delay the claims until the statute of limitations has expired. The files are closed and the insurers get away without having to pay a penny.
You need to know when to hire a Virginia auto accident lawyer.
It may seem strange hearing this from an attorney, but not every case requires legal representation. If your injuries were only minor and there was little damage, you might be able to handle your claim on your own. However, if there were serious injuries involved, an attorney might be just what you need.
Hiring a Virginia car accident attorney can be overwhelming and you need to know what to look for. A free consultation is not a good enough reason to choose a law firm, as you need to ensure that the person representing your case has the right qualifications. The book, The Truth About Lawyer Advertising, will help you decipher through attorney ads, as well as guide you in the hiring process.
We're selective on the cases we will take.
We don't represent every person who walks through our door. Our law firm is selective on the types of cases we will take on. If we agree to take your case, rest assured that you will be represented by a firm that has the experience, resources and knowledge to help you with your claim.
