Why You Should Contact an Attorney Before Talking to Insurance Companies

The #1 Mistake People Make After an Accident

When you're hurt in a car accident, slip and fall, or any kind of unexpected injury, one of the first calls you'll likely get is from an insurance company. They might seem helpful, friendly, and concerned about your well-being. But here’s the truth:

🚨 Insurance companies are not on your side. Their job is to protect their bottom line — not your recovery.

That’s why contacting a personal injury attorney BEFORE you speak to any insurance adjuster is one of the most important decisions you can make.

💡 What You Need to Know About Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters are trained professionals. Their job is to save their company money, even if that means offering you way less than you deserve — or denying your claim completely.

They may:

• Ask you leading questions on a recorded call

• Get you to admit partial fault

• Use your words against you later

• Offer a quick, low settlement before you know the full value of your injuries

Sound familiar?

👎 Why Talking First = A Big Mistake

When you speak to the insurance company before getting legal advice, you might:

• Say something you don’t realize could hurt your case

• Accept a low offer because you don’t know what your case is really worth

• Miss out on thousands in compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain

Most people don’t realize this until it’s too late.

👨‍⚖️ How an Attorney Protects You from Day One

The right personal injury attorney will:✅ Handle all communication with insurance companies✅ Gather medical records and accident evidence✅ Make sure you don’t settle for less than your claim is worth✅ Work on contingency — meaning you don’t pay unless you win

They act as a shield, so you can focus on healing — not paperwork and stress.

🚫 Don’t Fall for These Common Insurance Traps:

• “You don’t need a lawyer, we can take care of everything.”→ They say this to get you to accept less.

• “This is our best and final offer.”→ Rarely true — they expect you to negotiate.

• “You must give a recorded statement.”→ You have the right to say no until you speak to an attorney.

🛑 Bottom Line: Protect Yourself First

If you’ve been injured — call an attorney before you speak to anyone from the insurance company.Your future, your finances, and your peace of mind could depend on it.
