No one working for an insurance company has your best interests in mind. Although they may come across as friendly and professional, they are primarily interested in settling your case as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Insurance companies profit by collecting premiums and minimizing payouts for claims. By agreeing to a settlement, you risk forfeiting your right to fair compensation. Once you sign a settlement agreement, you are unable to seek additional compensation at a later date.

To safeguard your rights and prevent costly mistakes, it is essential to enlist the services of an experienced personal injury attorney who can advocate on your behalf when dealing with insurance companies.
