How Not To Settle Your Asheville Car Accident Claim

    My job involves speaking to clients about their Asheville car accident claim. Often, a client who has been injured in a car crash will tell me that the insurance company made them an offer to settle their case within days of the accident. Recently, a client of mine was tricked by an insurance company into signing a release of his entire claim for only $1,100 despite the fact that he needs future knee surgery. Here are some rules about what not do when settling your car accident claim.

    Hire a personal injury attorney and avoid representing yourself in the matter. A trained attorney will know what your case is worth, what your rights are, and the intricacies of handling your bills and damaged vehicle, and ultimately, how to get you the best settlement.

    Do not speak to the insurance company about your accident. It will be very difficult to settle a car accident claim with an insurance company if you have said the wrong thing to the insurance company during your negotiations. The best practice is to simply not speak to them.

    Until you have completed all of the medical treatments and procedures associated with your accident, avoid settling your claim. The insurance company will need to have all of your medical bills and records in order to properly determine the value of your case. Attempting to settle before all of your treatments are completed can result in an insufficient settlement offer.

    Do not settle a car accident claim without having an attorney look per any settlement release. Before you sign anything, have an attorney look at your paperwork; I have seen insurance companies trick people into signing something that seriously harms their case.
