When you purchased your auto insurance, the insurance company was probably very helpful and offered assistance in person, on the phone or online. Once you’ve actually been involved in a car accident though, the insurance company can become unreachable and uncooperative. That’s when you need a Maryland car accident lawyer on your side.
When dealing with a car insurance company after a motor vehicle accident, remember these tips:
- Don’t sign paperwork until you’ve had your car accident lawyer review it
- Don’t give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster
- Don’t speak with anyone about the accident except your lawyer, your doctors and the investigating officer at the scene
- Don’t accept an insurance settlement until you have consulted a car accident lawyer
