Santa Rosa Car Accident Lawyers
Perhaps more than anything else we own, we depend on cars. We depend on them to work and to take us where we need to go. But we also depend on others — on manufacturers to make safe and reliable automobiles and parts, and on fellow drivers to operate their own vehicles safely. Unfortunately, that reliance is often misplaced. And accidents — and harm — result. If you or a loved one has been in a car accident and need legal help in Sonoma or Napa counties call Julie Levy or email us for a free consultation.
It is not uncommon for many victims injured in car accidents to attempt to negotiate directly with the insurance carrier themselves. In most instances, the individual is first met with feigned concern by the carrier, who then steadfastly proceeds to build a case against him/her.
Insurance companies routinely work with a select group of doctors who, unfortunately, tend to reach the same conclusions in virtually all cases, that little or no injury has been sustained. Obviously this is not the case where catastrophic injury has occurred, but even then, cause for the injury is often disputed, as is extent and need for future care. In short, the unwary injured victim of a car accident attempting to negotiate with the insurance carrier on his/her own soon learns a stark reality, insurance companies are in the business of taking premium dollars, not paying claims. By the time the carrier is done with you, it will have a recorded statement regarding cause of the accident, it will have had you examined by “their” doctors, and it will be in a position to justify why your claim is worth relatively little. Avoid this scenario at all costs, call a trusted name in personal injury law in Santa Rosa, California and have your rights protected and your claims settled in your best interests.
