Auto Accident
You pull your car over to the side of the Freeway, and it seems OK to drive. You do not feel any pain, but you are a little sore where the seat belt held you. You get out and look at the damage. Your nice car is all banged up. The guy that hit you, says "It doesn't look that bad". The Police come and you tell them what happened. The officer ask if you want an ambulance, and you say no, you are not that hurt.
You go home, take a couple of aspirin and go to bed. The next morning your back and neck are sore, but you can live with it. You call your insurance company, and they tell you that you need to have the guy that hit you pay to get your car fixed. You call their insurance company, and after going thru a voice mail maze, you open a claim.
After two weeks, the pain is getting worse, and you are still getting jerked around on having your car fixed. You have a friend at work tell you of a good Doctor, and you think about calling them, but you wait another week to finally do so. You then have to wait another week to get in to see them.
Fast forward several months. You finally did get your car fixed, but it was never done right, and now it makes a noise. The repair shop took two extra days to fix the car, and their insurance company would not pay for the rental car, as they said that was your fault. You owe the Doctor $2500.00 for the treatment, but the insurance company is only offering you $500.00. they say you waited to long to see the Doctor, and it must not be related to the accident.
Net result, you are the one who was hit, and it cost you $2000.00 out of your pocket for the Doctor and $120.00 for the 2 days of the rental car, they would not pay for. You feel like you got the shaft. Do not let this happen to you .
A favorite trick of the insurance companies, is to argue that if there is not much damage to your car, then you must not have been hurt. This is just not the case. There are an average of 3 million whiplash injuries a year from auto accidents in this Country, and this type of injury often occurs with very little property damage to your car. You need a good attorney on your side, to fight the insurance companies on these cases. You can afford this, because we do not charge you anything, until we win your case. That’s right, no FEE, until we win. The insurance companies spend millions on their attorneys. Shouldn’t you have the same right to have a fighter on your side?

It is important to treat your injuries right away after an accident. While many people would like to wait and see if they get better on their own, the insurance companies will use this against you, by arguing that something else must have caused your injury or that you were not really hurt. They will claim that if your were REALLY hurt, you would have gone to the Doctor right away.
Another tactic of the insurance companies, is to wear you down, by dragging their feet, or low balling you with offers to settle. You need an Attorney that is willing to "File & Serve" a lawsuit, to make the insurance companies pay what is fair.
Many cases are resolved in the setting of a Mediation, where a neutral party, can evaluate the evidence and bring both sides together in a mutually agreed settlement. There is also a new, "One Day" Jury Trial Program for many small cases, that lets a Jury tell the insurance company what they have to pay, without the need for a long Trial or bring the doctors down to testify, which can get very expensive.
