Should I Talk to the Insurance Adjuster Myself?

Insurance companies employ trained professionals to handle your claim. Often, insurance companies will ask you for recorded statements and access to your medical records. It is to your advantage to speak with an attorney prior to providing insurance companies with this information. While you may be required to speak to your own insurance company, you do not have to speak to the defendant's insurance company. Additionally, it is often required that you report a claim to preserve certain types of insurance coverage. We can submit this report for you, advise whom you should speak with, and act as an intermediary between you and the insurance companies. We help adults and children who are injured in accidents related to:

• School bus accidents
• Taxi accidents
• Van accidents
• Bus stop accidents to pedestrians and bicyclists
• Crosswalk accidents

Our firm also represents family members who have lost a loved one in a fatal bus or other commercial vehicle accident. The complexity of these cases is enhanced because often cities and public transit companies will become involved in the claim. Our firm is experienced in responding to the needs of grieving family members as well as handling all legal aspects of the wrongful death claim. Please contact us to learn how we can help.
