You are not alone if the insurance adjuster made you a lowball settlement offer following your Virginia car accident and then tried to dissuade you from talking with a lawyer. There have been numerous cases recently of people who have been asked a similar question to this one by the adjuster – “are you going to accept this $5,000 offer and work with us or are you going to hire an attorney who will take 40 percent?”
Insurance adjusters are good at what they do and they know the law. They also realize that if you work with a Virginia accident attorney, you are probably going to end up with a higher settlement offer. So, what do they try to do? They try to intimidate you, which may keep you from looking into your legal rights.
You need to be aware that most attorneys do not charge 40 percent for a personal injury case. It generally doesn’t cost you anything to have a Virginia car accident attorney evaluate your settlement offer. At Ben Glass’s law firm, you are not charged a fee for having your settlement offer reviewed.
To find out more about your rights after a Virginia accident, you should order Ben’s book, Five Deadly Sins That Can Wreck Your Injury Claim. This information-packed book is free to Virginia residents.
