The Insurance Company Has Already Started Working Against You
Within hours of your accident, the other driver's insurance company began building a file to minimize your claim. Adjusters are trained to get you to make statements that reduce their liability. If you've already given a recorded statement or accepted any payment, contact us immediately — it may not be too late.
