COMMON REASONS WHY INSURERS DISCOURAGE HIRING A LAWYER
If the insurance company says you do not need a lawyer, it’s often a sign that you do. These companies know that a skilled attorney can maximize your claim. To prevent this, they may try to convince you to accept a quick settlement. Here are some additional reasons why they might discourage you from hiring a lawyer.
CONTROL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CASE
Insurance companies may discourage you from getting legal representation to control the flow of information. They know that a good attorney will work to safeguard your claim. Controlling the flow of information can limit your access to critical details, such as the true value of your claim or your legal rights.
SETTLE QUICKLY TO CLOSE THE CASE
Insurance adjusters often offer quick, upfront settlements if you don’t involve a lawyer. This isn’t for your benefit—they prefer to avoid paying the full amount you deserve. An experienced personal injury lawyer will fight for the compensation you’re entitled to, even if it means going to court.
DOWNPLAY THE SEVERITY OF INJURIES
These companies might also suggest that your injuries aren’t severe enough to need a lawyer. On the contrary, an attorney will ensure you get a proper medical evaluation to determine the true value of your case. By keeping lawyers out, insurers hope to settle for less than your claim is worth.
