After a serious auto accident, it might be challenging to reach an understanding with your insurance company regarding the amount of compensation to which you are entitled. In the event that the insurance provider tries to intimidate you into accepting a subpar settlement offer, it is imperative to have legal counsel on hand. You will need the assistance of a lawyer who understands what must be done to convince a jury or accomplish your goals in settlement negotiations.
There are a few things you should do following a car accident to protect your legal rights. You should help the authorities start compiling the accident report as soon as you, your partner, or your kids have received medical attention for their injuries.
