THREE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THE FIRST SETTLEMENT OFFER FROM AN INSURANCE COMPANY (2019-08-22 13:00:29)
Have you been injured in a car accident? If so, an insurance adjuster may have already approached you about settling your insurance claim. If an insurance company knows that it is liable for your claim and wants to limit that liability, it may offer you a quick, low settlement offer to get rid of your claim. It may be more cost-effective for the company to pay a little now instead of paying a lot more later.
Do not fall for this insurance tactic. Before you accept the first settlement offer for your injury claim, you need to know these three important facts about car accident injury claims:

WHAT DOES AN INDIANAPOLIS PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY DO FOR YOU? (2019-08-23 10:11:40)
You may see or hear advertisements by personal injury attorneys on the internet, the radio, or the television, but what does a personal injury attorney do?
A personal injury attorney represents clients who have civil liability claims. They handle cases which involve intentional torts or negligence. A civil lawsuit seeks compensation from a person or entity that caused harm to another person. A personal injury attorney is hired to represent the injured party to negotiate a settlement of the claim or file a personal injury lawsuit when the parties cannot settle a dispute.
FOUR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDIANAPOLIS TRUCK ACCIDENTS AND CAR ACCIDENTS (2019-08-23 10:14:09)
If you have seen an accident involving a large truck or commercial vehicle, you already know that these crashes are not your typical traffic accident. Accidents involving large vehicles are different from crashes involving cars, small trucks, or motorcycles. Semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other large truck accidents typically result in more fatalities and catastrophic injuries than collisions involving only passenger vehicles. However, there are other differences that make accident claims involving large trucks more difficult to handle.
