Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

Let’s say you were hurt in an auto accident on the Schuylkill because someone else was driving carelessly or texting while driving. You were severely injured and are unable to return to work for weeks. With medical bills piling up, not to mention your day-to-day expenses, you are at loss. How will you pay this massive debt? How will you continue providing for your family? Who is responsible for the pain and suffering you are going through?

Your first option is to contact the insurance company and file a claim on your own. However, this could be a serious mistake. Filing a claim with the insurance company can be a complicated process, especially if you’ve never done it before. Missing even a minor detail could result in your claim being denied. Additionally, the insurance company’s adjusters will likely try to get you to admit fault or downplay your injuries in order to have grounds to deny your claim or offer a lower settlement. Without an attorney on your side, you could ultimately end up making a seemingly minor mistake that ends up costing you in a huge way.

This is the time to contact a personal injury lawyer from Fellerman & Ciarimboli Law PC. Our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys can not only help you with your insurance claim but also fight to maximize your recovery. Our goal is to help you recover the full compensation you are owed for all of your current and future damages.

The Insurance Company Is Not Your Friend

When you submit a claim to the insurance company, it is the responsibility of the insurance adjuster to keeping the payout as low as possible so the company can stay profitable. In most cases, the adjuster will offer you just enough of a settlement to avoid a lawsuit.

The adjusters will examine the following factors when deciding on a settlement offer:

• Both current and future expenses
• Any income losses
• Pain and suffering, as well as emotional damages

The adjuster will then determine how much the company is willing to pay using a specific formula. The adjuster will then make a low-ball offer, sometimes as much as 50% lower than what your claim is really worth. This allows the adjuster to negotiate during the settlement phase. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that negotiation is possible and simply accept the low settlement thinking it is the best offer they will get.

However, if your injury is severe enough, this amount will probably not cover all your expenses nor will it sufficiently pay for your pain and suffering. But you don't want to deal with the insurance company on your own. Remember, the insurance company is not your friend and will likely try to bully you into accepting a low-ball settlement. This is why you need a skilled personal injury lawyer, like those at Fellerman & Ciarimboli Law PC, by your side.

Don’t Wait; Contact Us Before the Deadline Passes

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Pennsylvania is two years. This means you only have two years from the date of the accident (or injury or death) to file your claim and seek compensation for your damages. Although this seems like a lot of time, it can go by very quickly, especially if extensive research needs to be done on your claim. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to collect evidence and get witness testimony.
