What To Do If The Other Driver's Insurance Company Won't Stop Calling
If you have been involved in a car accident in Massachusetts, and you were injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you should be focused on your recovery, while your personal injury attorney focuses on getting you a fair and just compensation package. You shouldn’t have to worry about your phone ringing off the hook because the other driver’s insurance company won’t stop calling.
Through the course of your lawsuit, you and your personal injury attorney will seek compensation from the other driver’s insurance company to cover your damaged vehicle, any medical expenses that you’ve incurred, as well as wages that you may have lost or that you may lose due to personal injuries.
Your lawyer will guide you through your personal injury claim. They will estimate the value of the damages you’ve incurred, file the necessary paperwork, and handle any communications that take place between you and the other party.
Your attorney should be handling all negotiations regarding your settlement and therefore, should be a part of all communications with the other driver’s insurance company.
So – What should I do if the other driver’s insurance company keeps calling?
If the other driver’s insurance company won’t stop calling you, be certain NOT to speak with them. You are not required to have any dialogue with the other driver’s insurance adjuster. This conversation is one that should only be handled by your Massachusetts car accident attorney.
These calls are attempts to have you accept a much smaller offer than you deserve. Once the insurance adjuster has you on the phone, they will use their tactics to befriend you and pretend as though they are acting in your best interests. But every attorney with personal injury experience knows that this is not the case.
The truth is that nothing good can come from your dialogue with the other driver’s insurance company. The adjuster is simply trying to protect the interests of their company. If you are contacted, politely end the call by informing them that any communication should take place through your lawyer and then call your auto accident lawyer immediately.
