Insurance companies put up a good facade. After you are injured in a Florida car wreck, they will say they are on your side. They say they have the best interest of your family in mind and will be fair in giving you the financial compensation you need.
However, when the time arrives for this to come true, the insurance companies change their tune. Despite what they may have told you, they will try to lie, cheat, and steal money away from you, leaving you and your family with as little as possible.
Simply stated, the insurance companies are out to protect their own money at all costs. What they don’t want you to do is call a Fort Lauderdale car accident attorney and protect your legal rights.
If you have been injured in a Florida car accident that was not your fault, you are likely eligible to receive financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing care or physical therapy, lost wages from missed time at work, and instances of pain or emotional suffering.
However, it is important that you do not talk about your Florida car accident with insurance adjusters. Anything you say about the accident or the severity of your injuries will likely be used against you in court, and there is no benefit in giving them more information. Talk only to your own lawyer.
If you are given papers to sign by an insurance adjuster, do not do anything more. Forward them to your own lawyer, and let them look through the agreements. If you want the best possible chance to earn the highest amount of financial compensation possible, do not sign anything from insurance adjusters after a Florida car accident.
