Why Shouldn't I Handle My Pedestrian Accident Claim On My Own? | HLG

What Are the Drawbacks of Trying to Handle My Indianapolis Pedestrian Accident on My Own from the Beginning?

pedestrian-accident

The major drawback to trying to handle an Indianapolis pedestrian accident on your own from the beginning is that insurance adjusters will do all they can to minimize or deny your claim. If you acquire the counsel of an Indiana personal injury attorney, you stand a better chance of maximizing the value of your claim.

An attorney who handles accident claims on a day-to-day basis is aware of the tactics insurance adjusters will use to harm your claim. These tactics include:

  • Requesting your complete medical history in an attempt to blame a pre-existing condition for your injuries
  • Getting your permission to record your statement and tricking you into saying anything that will damage your claim
  • Blaming you for causing your Indianapolis pedestrian accident
  • Setting a low reserve of money on your claim
  • Withholding information about your insurance coverage

Because a pedestrian accident can lead to devastating injuries such as organ damage, amputations and disfiguring scars, you should have legal representation on your side to fight for all compensation you are entitled to in an Indiana personal injury claim. Damages you may able to recover include:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Altered quality of life
  • Lost earnings
  • Lost earning potential

The sooner you contact an Indianapolis attorney, the sooner her she can preserve evidence that can be crucial to building a strong claim. If you don’t hire an attorney from the beginning, you may risk losing out on much-needed compensation.

As an accident victim and single father in dire need of help and at the end of my rope, somehow a gentleman named Jonathan contacted me today about my accident, and within few minutes of our conversation he had calmed me down from a 10 to a 5 and took a load of stress, anger, fear, anxiety, depression and being lost off me 50% and helped me see light at end of a dark tunnel. Thank you Jonathan.
