Some people may decide their case isn’t worth enough to go to trial. Many don’t even contact a Wichita personal injury attorney. Others are fooled by the sly tactics insurance agents use to get you to accept a settlement. If you have decided to accept a settlement from your insurance company, here are 10 questions you should always ask.
- Will you make a written contract stating that the accident was not my fault?
- Will you tell me how much insurance the other driver has?
- Will you give me a copy of the recorded statement that you recorded from the driver at fault if I decide to give you a recorded statement?
- If I agree to sign a medical release, will you send me a copy of what you get by using my medical release?
- How much money have you set aside to pay my claim?
- Will recorded statements from other witnesses be duplicated for me?
- Will you review my umbrella coverage and tell me if it is enough to cover my claim?
- Will “index” information recovered by a computer system be revealed to me?
- May I have a copy of any financial information you have acquired from me?
- May I have the names of which neighbors you have interviewed?
Chances are the insurance agent won’t give you the information you’re asking for. Insurance companies are a business and they make their money by offering you a low-ball claim. Before you accept a settlement, always go to your free consultation with the attorneys at Ray Hodge & Associates to find out what your case is really worth.
