What should I do if the insurance company contacts me after a car accident?

Auto accidents happen to even the safest of drivers. One minute, you can be driving down the road, heading home from work or out running errands, and in the next you could be involved in a potentially serious accident resulting in injuries that can be severe and life-threatening.

At Northland Injury Law, our Kansas City car accident lawyer has extensive experience in handling these types of cases, and we understand the impact they can have on every area of your life. Your injuries may require ongoing medical care and treatment, while preventing you from working or even enjoying hobbies and social activities with those you love.

Although every case is different, the following are among the most frequently asked auto accident questions we hear from our clients.

• What should I do if the insurance company contacts me after a car accident?
  • Once your accident is reported, representatives from either your or the at-fault party’s insurance company may contact you. It is important to avoid speaking with them, as they may coax statements from you that would reduce or eliminate the liability of their insured, or they may pressure you into signing a settlement worth far less than what an experienced Kansas City car accident lawyer at Northland Injury Law could get you. Tell the insurance adjuster to contact your attorney, if you have retained an attorney, or contact your insurance company, if you do not have an attorney. The same points apply if an attorney for someone else contacts you.
