I was stopped. They hit
me. Slam dunk, right?
Not so fast.
Rear end collisions are common, but can also be very
complex.
Always keep the following in
mind: You are dealing with an insurance company.
Goal #1: Pay
nothing.
Goal #2: If we can’t pay
nothing, pay as little as possible.
Now, with these goals in mind,
still think they are going to make these easy??
There are many variables involved when it comes to a rear
end accident, and even more in dealing with an
insurance company.
That's why it's wise to have an experienced rear end
accident lawyer handling your case.
Remember: If insurance
companies really treated people as they say on their commercials,
we would not need attorneys.
Steps you should you take following a rear end car
accident:
1.
Call the police and
get a report made;
2.
Exchange insurance
information at the scene;
3.
Seek appropriate
medical assistance if you need it;
4.
Do NOT give a
recorded statement to any insurance company; and
5.
Consult as soon as
practicable with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
