This will generally be the first in a long line of questions that an injured party will have that they will want to get answered from an experienced Hartford CT injury lawyer. It is important for a Connecticut accident victim to understand the process that is involved in a Hartford CT injury claim, what the injured party needs to be doing, what the injured party should not be doing, and finding out how to maximize the value of their Connecticut injury case.
If you’ve been injured in a Hartford CT injury case you should expect a telephone call from the insurance adjuster who represents the insurance company of the at fault party. You should not take this telephone call or return this telephone call unless and until you first get the advice of an experienced CT accident lawyer and injury attorney. Most Connecticut injury attorneys and accident lawyers will advise you not to speak with the insurance company of the at fault party. An experienced Hartford CT injury lawyer and accident attorney will also provide you with other valuable pieces of advice as to what you need to be doing and what you should not be doing. Chances are, if you speak with the insurance company, you will make many, many mistakes that may have a very negative effect upon the value of your case. You’ll want to get the advice of an experienced Connecticut personal injury lawyer and the best time to get that advice is as soon as possible so that you can reduce the number of mistakes that you will be making.
Many times Hartford CT injury victims will not understand the complicated nature of a personal injury case and will attempt to handle their own case. After all, their thought is that the insurance adjuster said they will help them, they will work with you to resolve your case, and you will be able to do this without having to pay an attorney a fee. So the question that you might have is; why would you hire a lawyer when you can handle your own case and you have been advised of that fact by the insurance adjuster of the at fault party? The answer is really quite simple. Do you know what to do and what not to do in the handling of a personal injury case? Do you think that the insurance adjuster of the at fault party is looking to pay you a fair value for your case or are they looking to pay you the least amount of money possible so that their insurance companies profits are higher? What is the value of your case? What is fair and reasonable compensation for the injuries and damages that you suffered in this case? If you don’t know, which you will not in all likelihood, then you will leave it to the insurance adjuster to guide you through this process.
If you had been left a valuable object by your rich Aunt, would you take it into a pawn shop without having any idea as to its value, and let the pawn shop owner tell you what is a fair amount of money to get for this item? Hopefully, you would not allow someone who has a financial interest to pay you the least amount of money possible for your asset, to tell you what that asset is worth without you getting the proper advice, doing the needed research, and determining in advance what the value of that asset might be. Then why would you allow an insurance adjuster, of the person that caused your accident, whose sole job is to pay the least amount of money possible, to tell you what your case is worth? This is the main reason why you need to get the advice of an experienced CT personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after you have been injured in some type of an accident.
