Should I Wait to See What I Am Offered by My Insurance Company Instead of Hiring an Indianapolis Attorney at the Outset After a Bike Accident in Indiana?

After you have suffered injuries in a bike accident in Indiana, you should not wait to see what your insurance company will offer you. Instead, you should speak to an Indianapolis attorney. After all, the insurance company has a team of attorneys on its side. Therefore, you should have an attorney looking out for your best interests.

After any accident that involves serious injuries, you should speak with an attorney before you speak with any insurance adjusters, even if the adjusters are from your own insurance company. Any mistakes that you make in the claim process could lead to your settlement being minimized or denied.

It’s a fact that insurance companies are in the business of making and keeping money, and motorcycle claims can be very costly. Considering this, you can count on insurers to find excuses to reject your settlement.

For instance, they may insist that you were fully or partially at fault for your injuries if you weren’t wearing full gear. Also, if you gave the insurance adjuster a recorded statement, they will surely find a way to use it against you. Furthermore, if you gave the adjuster access to your medical history, they will try to blame a pre-existing condition for your injuries.

When you try to handle your claim on your own, you will not be taken as seriously as you would if you were represented by an Indianapolis attorney. When you’re flying solo, adjusters will set a low reserve of money for your claim. This is why it’s best to contact an attorney as soon after your accident in Indiana as possible.
