WHAT BRETT AND COATS PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS CAN DO FOR YOU
People injured in auto accidents are entitled to be compensated for their injuries by the insurance companies of those who caused the harm, but the injured person must prove that the person who caused the injury was negligent. The negligent person’s insurance company must then pay monetary damages, including medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost earnings, loss of future earning capacity, and general damages for pain, suffering, disfigurement and disability. In order for the injured person to recover damages, a skilled personal injury attorney must prove the critical elements of negligence:
1) the defendant had a duty to the injured party;
2) the defendant failed in that duty, and;
3) the injured party’s injuries and damages resulted from the defendant’s breach of duty.
While insurance is designed to address an accident victim’s economic issues, it is important to remember that insurance companies are in business to maximize their profits. The job of the insurance adjuster is to settle the claim for the lowest possible payment. All insurance companies have a highly trained team of adjusters, investigators, and lawyers whose only focus is to minimize the amount of money paid to injured accident victims. Should you choose not to be represented by a qualified attorney, you will face the considerable resources of a powerful insurance company alone. While you are spending your energy recuperating from the accident, the person who caused your injury may have already notified his insurance company, which is spending its considerable energy trying to minimize their payout.
Insurance companies pay almost triple the amount of money in cases where the victim is represented by a lawyer. At Brett & Coats, our lawyers give personal attention to the needs of each client. We help by coordinating medical payments, organizing documentation, managing communications with insurance adjusters, and supporting each client through the sometimes difficult claims process. Since insurance companies know our firm’s determination to litigate cases when a settlement offer is inadequate, we are usually able to resolve personal injury claims through negotiation.
