Dealing With Auto Insurance
Auto insurance companies are shrewd and savvy. They will try anything to try to get out of paying a car accident claim, including a personal injury claim. An experienced auto accident lawyer knows how to deal with insurance companies and their adjusters. Many times claims adjusters try to pressure claimants to sign release agreements or waivers of future responsibilities for a quick upfront settlement of the car accident claim. They do this because they know people just want to get on with their lives after their auto accident and return to some sort of normalcy. The problem is that quick settlements can release the insurance company from paying what the car accident claim is really worth. They know that it potentially cost them a lot more down the road. It is very important that the claimant does not sign any type of release of responsibility for a quick settlement. This could greatly hamper any hope of recovery for damages in the future. Insurance companies will often ask you for a medical release authorization. Why do they want a medical release authorization? They need a signed authorization to access your medical records to find any sort of pre-existing injury or condition which might devalue your claim.
