Colorado Springs Injury Lawyer – What Not to Say to Your Insurance Company |

Most insurance companies hire telephone representatives who will try to settle your claim quickly over the phone. However, if you have sustained an injury that requires treatment to bring you back to good health or you have lost wages as a result of your injury, then it is time to consult with a Colorado Springs injury lawyer. In the event that your case goes to court, an attorney will advise you to let them handle all communications with the insurance companies in writing. This will prevent any representative from their company from misrepresenting what you told them over the phone.
Ultimately, a Colorado Springs injury lawyer will help ensure that any agreement you make with the insurer will be sufficient enough to cover the costs of your long-term healthcare needs and loss of income. But don’t let the grass grow under your feet. Like every other state, Colorado has a statute of limitations that specifies how long you can wait to file a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident. In some states, that limit is only one year. If you have been seriously injured, you are dissatisfied with the insurance company’s settlement offer, or you disagree with their decision about who was at fault, then a Colorado Springs injury lawyer can help. Contact the law firm of Clawson & Clawson, LLP for a free consultation. |
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, then you may have already filed a claim with your insurance company. No doubt they’ve told you that they will take care of the settlement and you won’t need to hire a lawyer, but do they really have your best interests at heart? As a Colorado Springs injury lawyer, I have dealt with numerous cases where my client has said things to their insurance company that they later regretted. Even if you have not yet hired a lawyer, when it comes to your insurance company you are better off handling claim negotiations in writing.Matthew Clawson
