Houston Lawyers Taking on Car Insurance Companies
An experienced car accident attorney can stand up for you
Houston car accident attorneys know. If you’ve been injured in a car crash, your trouble doesn’t stop once the dust settles after your wreck. In many cases, your battle is only beginning. That’s because an insurance company – even your own – can make it exceptionally difficult to get the compensation you need and deserve for your injuries.
Our Houston car accident lawyers at Tracey Fox & Walters know what you’re going through. That’s why we want to help.
- The initial settlement is probably a "low-ball" offer. Many Houston residents don't know that they don't have to accept the first offer from the insurance company. In fact, that initial settlement offer is likely a "low-ball" figure that doesn't pay for the full, long-term cost of your injury. You can ask for more - and you should - before accepting their offer. Once you've taken the insurance company's money, you most likely lose your right to pursue further compensation.
- You don't have to talk to them. It's true that after an accident, you need to notify your insurance company in a timely manner. But you don't have to answer their questions, and you certainly don't need to talk to an insurance company representing another driver. Remember, their priority is to protect their bottom line, not to compensate you.
- Recorded statements will be used against you. Any recording can be altered, truncated or taken out of context. What may seem like a simple statement of facts could be used as evidence to reduce or deny your claim. If you need to provide a statement to an insurance company, we recommend working with an experienced auto accident attorney to create a written statement that protects your legal rights.
- There's no need to face them alone. The insurance companies will tell you that you don't need a lawyer - and they'll pick up the phone and call their lawyers as soon as they're done talking to you. What they don't want you to know is that victims who retain an attorney - or even meet with an attorney - consistently recover more than those who try to handle their claims on their own.
