An auto accident can change your life in an instant. Since families often travel together, it is not uncommon for more than one family member to be injured or killed in the same accident. In addition to your physical injuries and emotional pain, you also face the expense of repairs or replacing your vehicle and may be out of work temporarily or permanently disabled. Our Columbus personal injury attorneys can help you fight the insurance companies and get the compensation you deserve.
Insurance Companies
One of the challenges that auto accident victims face is dealing with the insurance company. Insurance companies will do everything they can to get out of paying your claim or to underpay. They have a number of tricks up their sleeves.
In some cases the insurance company will deny your claim outright. More often, it will offer you a payment that is far less than you deserve, hoping that you will take the check and sign away your right to full compensation. An insurance company representative may try to convince you that you do not have a claim, and tell you that you should take the offer because you are lucky to get anything at all.
Never sign anything from the insurance company without talking to your Columbus personal injury attorney first. We are here to protect your legal rights.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, please call our Columbus personal injury attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
