Don’t leave money on the table. Every decision you make after an accident affects how much compensation you receive.
The Clock Is Ticking
After an accident, time is not on your side. Insurance companies start building their defense immediately, and critical evidence can disappear within days. Meanwhile, you’re dealing with pain, medical bills, and lost wages. However, taking the right steps now can dramatically increase your settlement.
5 Mistakes That Kill Your Claim Value
- Delaying medical treatment – Insurance companies claim you weren’t really hurt
- Talking to insurance adjusters – Your words will be used against you
- Posting on social media – One photo can destroy your case
- Accepting quick settlements – Initial offers are always lowball amounts
- Waiting too long to get help – Evidence disappears and deadlines pass
5 Actions That Maximize Your Money
- Get medical care immediately – Creates documented proof of your injuries
- Follow all treatment plans – Shows your injuries are serious and ongoing
- Keep detailed records – Photos, receipts, and journals strengthen your case
- Don’t sign anything – Let an attorney review all documents first
- Hire an experienced lawyer fast – Levels the playing field against insurance companies
Why Insurance Companies Lowball You
Here’s the truth: insurance companies make money by paying you less. Therefore, they use tactics like:
Claiming your injuries aren’t serious
Saying you caused the accident
Pressuring you to settle before you know the full extent of damages
Denying valid claims hoping you’ll give up
Additionally, they know most people don’t understand their rights or the true value of their claims.
The Difference Professional Help Makes
Studies show that accident victims with attorneys receive settlements 3.5 times higher than those without representation. That’s not a coincidence – it’s because experienced lawyers know:
The true value of your claim
How to gather compelling evidence
Which experts to bring to your case
How to negotiate with tough insurance companies
When to take your case to trial
Your Next Move Matters
Every day you wait is a day the insurance company gets stronger and your case gets weaker. Right now, you have the power to maximize your compensation – but only if you act fast.
