Injured In An Accident? We’re Here To Help
An injury can upend many aspects of your life as you know it. Not only are there physical repercussions, but the financial consequences can be devastating. From medical bills to property damage, personal injury losses can pile up faster than you can keep track of them. For this reason, it is crucial to work with an adept personal injury lawyer who can help you pursue the restitution you deserve.
If you have been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, Oklahoma law entitles you to financial compensation for your injuries and associated costs and suffering. Personal injury claim lawyers are tasked with the job of seeking damages on your behalf. How does this process work, and does your claim qualify for compensation? With the help of a seasoned attorney from Legal Advantage Group, you’ll be able to answer these questions and much more – empowering you to obtain the financial resources you need to move forward.
How Do I Begin The Personal Injury Claim Process After An Accident With Serious Injuries In Oklahoma?
If you have just been in an accident or have only now begun to realize the extent of your injury after an accident, there is no time to lose. The sooner you begin the personal injury process, the better your chances are of a full recovery of all damages.
To initiate the personal injury process, all you need to do is call a personal injury attorney. Most lawyers will not charge you for this – or for anything else – until the case is won and your compensation claimed.
If you wait and try to handle your claim by yourself, or worse, let the opposing insurance company “help” you file, you run the risk of making extensive mistakes that will severely limit the amount of compensation you are able to receive. Of course, this isn’t your fault – it’s simply because insurance companies will not hesitate to use various underhanded tactics to diminish their liability.
What Are Some Of The Common Tactics Insurance Companies Use To Undermine Oklahoma Personal Injury Claims?
When you are injured in any kind of accident, there will always be one or more insurance adjusters assigned to your case, depending on how many insurance companies are involved. Unfortunately, no matter how friendly they may seem, these adjusters do not have your best interest at heart.
This is because their job is to end up paying you the least amount possible (for which they likely get a bonus), and they will do whatever it takes to make that happen. In order to get away with this, they may:
- Fail to respond to questions and messages to delay proceedings until it is too late.
- Try to lower the amount you are reimbursed for anything and everything.
- Ask you the same question multiple times or in slightly different ways so they can get conflicting answers on record and undermine your credibility as a witness.
The list of insurance company strategies is too long to name here. The only way to avoid their traps is to hire an experienced personal injury accident lawyer who knows what they will try, can anticipate it, and make sure they do not get away with paying you less than you need and deserve.
What Happens If I Cannot Get A Reasonable Settlement Offer From The Insurance Company?
When facing the insurance company of the person responsible for your injury, if they refuse to make a reasonable offer, you will have to file a lawsuit against them.
This is why it is imperative that you bring an attorney on board early – it shows the insurance company you are serious and gives the attorney time to prepare the claim as if it will go to court. These two factors are crucial in getting a better settlement offer and winning a full damage claim if it does end up in front of a jury or judge.
Without an attorney, insurance companies can and will take advantage of your case as much as they can. They will delay until there is little time left to prepare a lawsuit, then make an utterly unreasonable “final offer”, knowing you have little choice but to accept.
Fortunately, hiring an attorney early on in the personal injury claim process won’t cost you anything more – and it will make a substantial difference to the claim or settlement you are able to achieve.
