As Texans we are a tough bunch.
We drive trucks large enough to qualify as studio apartments, endure summers that feel like the surface of the sun, and respond to most injuries with:
“I’m fine. Walk it off.”
Unfortunately, insurance companies LOVE that answer.
The Insurance Adjuster Is Calling—and Suddenly Everyone Is Your Best Friend
After an accident, the insurance adjuster may sound friendly, concerned, and eager to “get everything resolved quickly.”
That is very thoughtful of them.
It is also their job to pay you as little as possible.
Before giving a recorded statement, signing a release, or accepting a quick settlement, remember that the insurance company has lawyers and claims professionals protecting its interests. You deserve someone protecting yours.
Your Injury May Cost More Than Today’s Medical Bill
A Texas personal injury claim may include compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Physical pain and impairment
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Future medical care
- Property damage
That “simple” injury may become much more serious after the adrenaline wears off. Once you sign a settlement agreement, you generally cannot return later and ask for additional compensation because your back still hurts, surgery became necessary, or your doctor discovered another injury.
The insurance company may say, “This is our best offer.”
We hear, “We hope you do not call a lawyer.”
