- Should you wait and see after a wreck, putting your trust in the other driver’s insurance company?
Fighting for the full compensation you may deserve after a car wreck can be stressful and confusing. It can be very tempting to just wait and see if the at-fault driver’s insurance company does right by you. You may have already spoken to a friendly adjuster who put you at ease about waiting. Unfortunately, the insurance adjuster is looking out for their employer’s best interests, not yours.
Here are some potential dangers to the “wait and see” approach:
(0:55) Danger #1 Running Out of Time
You only have a limited amount of time to bring your case. If you wait and your time runs out, you may be completely out of luck. Insurance adjusters are well aware of just how long people have to bring each type of claim.
(1:19) Danger #2 Key Evidence Being Lost
To build your case, you want to be able to see the site of the accident as it looked on the day of the accident. As time passes, that becomes harder and harder. Witnesses might move or forget, and evidence can be generally harder to gather. It’s important to start protecting your interests right away.
(1:51) Danger #3 How It Looks
Sometimes, you’re not waiting on the adjuster but waiting to see how your body feels. When you do decide to eventually seek treatment, the delay may have been bad for both your body and your case. The insurance adjuster might see a delay in seeking treatment as a sign that you aren’t really hurt, or that something other than the car wreck hurt you.
Being injured in a wreck is overwhelming. If, unfortunately, it’s happened to you, we want to help. While you focus on getting better, we can handle your case for you, including gathering key records and evidence, building your case, negotiating on your behalf, and, if necessary, taking your case to trial.
