DC Personal Injury Lawyer Advice

Single Car Accidents

When you have been injured in a car accident, and another driver is at fault, many details need to be handled by your DC Personal Injury Lawyer.  Sometimes, it can be easy to determine fault. However,  when you are involved in a single car accident, it is often difficult to prove someone else was at fault.

If you find yourself in a situation like this, you need to call the Lapidus Law Firm to get representation from a DC Car Accident Lawyer.

Understanding the Insurance Company

You pay your insurance bill faithfully every month.  You might assume that when you’ve been injured in an accident, the insurance company will do its part by looking in depth at each aspect of your insurance policy, to ensure your medical bills and property damage are covered to the fullest extent your policy allows.  Insurance is, after all, a billion-dollar industry, and you contribute to it!

However, be aware:  that smooth and seamless claims process rarely occurs.  In the majority of personal injury insurance claims, the insurance adjusters (and the lawyers who work for the insurance company) make it their mission to pay out as little as possible.   They add unenforceable clauses in your policy and may try you convince you that you only have a small portion insurance coverage.  They may also deny claims that should not be denied and/or offer lowball settlements in the hope that you will trust their word and NOT get a DC Personal Injury Lawyer. 

Don’t fall for what the insurance company adjusters tell you.  Instead, so something else:
