How to Handle the Insurance Company After an Accident

Dealing with the insurance company is perhaps one of the trickiest and most frustrating parts of a personal injury claim. Most cases related to accidents and injuries that another person or company has caused through negligence or intentional conduct are paid by insurance companies, including virtually any type of auto accident, car accident or motorcycle accident as well as dog bite claims, medical malpractice, workman's comp and premises liability claims. Unfortunately, insurance providers are not known for their honesty and fairness in paying out settlements.

On top of whatever physical pain and emotional trauma an accident victim is experiencing, he or she may also face difficulties in dealing with the insurance company. Fortunately, you can turn to an experienced Houston personal injury lawyer at The Doan Law Firm, P.C. for the legal representation you need. An attorney can handle any and all communication with the claims adjuster or any other representative of the insurance provider in order to property protect your interests and help you avoid common pitfalls associated with attempts to cooperate with these individuals.

Reaching a Higher Settlement

By properly filing your claim and handling the insurance company, your attorney may be able to reach a higher settlement in a shorter amount of time. If the insurance company simply will not play fair or has acted in bad faith in handling your claim, your lawyer can take your case to civil court to seek the full value of your claim, plus damages.
