WHAT YOU DO
(AND DON'T)
It is crucial that you do not speak with an insurance company representative. If they contact you for a statement or any other reason, direct them to your personal injury attorney. Under no circumstances should you agree to give a recorded statement to any insurance company without first consulting your attorney.
WHAT. WE. DO.
Injuries from truck accidents are often severe or catastrophic. You and your family shouldn’t have to worry about battling the defendant’s insurance company for the compensation you deserve, especially when you need to focus on your recovery.
Despite what the insurance company may suggest, they do not have your best interests in mind. The claim adjuster’s loyalty is to the insurance company and its policyholders. This means the adjuster will look for ways to shift more liability onto you, reducing the company’s responsibility for your serious injuries.
When you hire The Warriors, we will protect your rights and conduct an independent investigation. Our priority is to build the strongest case possible.
The defendant’s insurance company might imply that hiring an attorney early in the claims process is unnecessary. This is far from the truth. The early stages of the claims process are often the most critical. The sooner you retain us, the sooner we can start working on your case. It’s easier to preserve evidence when we have early access to it. For instance, speaking to witnesses immediately after the accident is much more effective than reaching out weeks or months later.
Instead of you dealing with the truck driver’s insurance company, your attorney will handle all communications and negotiations. The other driver’s insurance company will likely demand you provide a recorded statement. You should never agree to a recorded statement without consulting an attorney first. The claims adjuster hopes you will say something they can use against you in the liability investigation or in court if it comes to that.
