Dangers of Representing Yourself
If you try to represent yourself when dealing with the opposing insurance company, the insurance adjustor will take advantage of the situation. Their requests for information from you and medical records authorizations serve as their starting point for their defense. It is important to talk to an attorney as early as you can so you can protect your rights and not hurt your case. We have experience negotiating with insurance companies.
An Attorney can Help with Complex Issues
A variety of legal issues can come up with a car accident that an attorney can help with:
- Identifying insurance policies
- Whether the defendant was in the course and scope of work that would make someone else liable
- Helping assess the statute of limitations (the time to bring a lawsuit or it is forever barred)
- Discussing evidence to be preserved
- Rights to reimbursement by health insurance plans, and negotiating the insurance carrier
- Medicare and/or Medi-Cal statutory rights to reimbursement, and negotiating with those entities
- Assessing violations of statutes
- Dealing with disputed liability
- Comparative liability issues
- Analyzing medical records and treatment for defense claims of pre-existing injuries
- Retaining medical and/or accident experts as needed
We take auto accident cases on a contingency fee. In other words, that means we do not bill by the hour and our compensation comes as a percentage out of the recovery. Accordingly, that helps give people access to justice.
We are local to the area so we understand the local courts. LA and Bay Area attorneys don’t know the local courts. Call Law Office of James K. Moore at 530-885-6286.
