Experienced Lawyers Protecting Your Rights After Car Accidents
If you have been injured in a car accident in North Carolina, you should not talk to any insurance company other than your own. The opposing insurance company’s goal is to minimize its payout to you. One way they try to accomplish this goal is by quickly getting you to make a statement that will damage your case.
At the Knox Law Center, our duty as lawyers is to help you get the recovery that is best for you. With offices in Charlotte and Denver, we represent motor vehicle accident victims throughout North Carolina. We also represent families who lose loved ones in fatal car accidents. Our lawyers provide a free initial consultation. Contact us to discuss your case.
Under our contingency fee arrangement, we will not charge you unless we win.
The main reasons for this rule include:
1. Preventing Coercion or Manipulation: Insurance adjusters are trained professionals who handle claims regularly. They might use tactics or language that could coerce or manipulate an unrepresented individual into accepting a settlement that is less favorable than what they might deserve. By ensuring that all communications go through the attorney, the client’s interests are better protected. 1.
Ensuring Fair Negotiations: Attorneys are knowledgeable about the law and experienced in negotiation. When they represent a client, they ensure that any settlements or agreements are fair and just, based on the legal merits of the case. 1.
Avoiding Miscommunications: Direct communications between a client and an opposing insurance adjuster can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or miscommunications that could complicate the case. Attorneys ensure that all communications are clear, documented, and legally appropriate.
Our lawyers have experience in dealing with complex insurance issues such as MedPay, stackable coverage (which enables you to combine insurance from different vehicles), and uninsured and underinsured drivers coverage. We will also advise you on how to obtain medical coverage from your health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare while your legal case is in process. We understand how to deal with ERISA and issues of subrogation to minimize or eliminate the amount you must maximize your bottom line.
If you have suffered catastrophic injuries, our lawyers will hire medical experts and life-care planners to make sure that we identify all of your long-term needs before we attempt to settle your case. If you are on Medicaid, we will help create a special-needs trust for your lawsuit recovery to maintain your eligibility for Medicaid payments.
This happens more than people realize. We search again for ways to make sure you are protected. It can be through your underinsurance coverage or through other benefits available.
