Car Accidents

One of the most critical decisions that you can make after a car accident is whether or not to hire an attorney.  If you have been injured, hiring the attorneys at Phillips and Faldowski to represent you as soon as possible after the accident can help to protect your rights.   Within days - and sometimes even hours - of a crash, the other driver's insurance company may call you on the phone and tell you that you're required to give a statement about what happened.  Your own insurance company may try to pay you less than your vehicle is worth to save money for the company.  You may think you don't have a case because you chose the limited tort option on your auto insurance.  Your insurance company may ask you to sign documents that give them access to years and years of your medical records.  You need to know that speaking to insurance companies and claims adjusters may affect your rights and limit your ability to be compensated for your injuries.  

 Just like any other business, insurance companies exist to make money.  They make money in part by not paying money to people who make claims against them.  They employ teams of people whose job is to find reasons to deny your claim.  You need experienced lawyers who know how the insurance companies think.   Even if you've already made a claim against the other driver's insurance company and they've offered you money, you may be entitled to far more compensation than what you've been offered.
