What Not To Do When Settling Your Asheville Car Accident Claim

By Lakota Denton


My job involves speaking to clients about their Asheville car accident claim. Often, a client who has been injured in a car crash will tell me that the insurance company made them an offer to settle their case within days of the accident. Recently, a client of mine was tricked by an insurance company into signing a release of his entire claim for only $1,100 despite the fact that he needs future knee surgery. Here are some rules about what not do when settling your car accident claim.

Hire a personal injury attorney and avoid representing yourself in the matter. A trained attorney will know what your case is worth, what your rights are, and the intricacies of handling your bills and damaged vehicle, and ultimately, how to get you the best settlement.

Don't talk about your accident directly with your insurance company. Once you've said the wrong thing to an insurance company, it can be very difficult to settle your case properly. The safest bet is not to speak to them at all, and let your attorney handle it.

Do not try to settle a car accident claim unless you have completed all your medical treatment. It is very important that the insurance company has all of your medical bills and notes from treatment so that you can maximize the value and help settle a car accident claim for the most money possible.

Don't sign anything before your attorney can look it over. Often times people are tricked into signing something from their insurance company that severely limits the amount of money they can get for their claim.
