Accident Lawyers Who Defend Your Rights
At some point in time, everyone is a pedestrian. Pedestrians have always been at risk of being injured or killed in accidents involving automobiles, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that this risk has grown over the past 10 years, and now an even higher percentage of pedestrians are being injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents.
When a pedestrian is injured by a vehicle while walking, they may recover damages for injuries suffered because of someone else’s negligence. In order to do this, they must establish that the other person was at fault for the accident, which is why it is always a good idea to speak with a qualified pedestrian injury attorney who knows the insurance claim process and pedestrian rights.
How Do Insurance Companies Pay
Out Pedestrian Claims?
Insurance companies look out for one thing: their bottom line
They collect money from premiums and invest in the stock market and other capital-earning ventures to increase their profits. When they have to pay out on a claim, their bottom lines are affected.
Insurance companies represent themselves to ensure the lowest settlements
That’s if they don’t deny the claim outright. This means even your own insurance company will do everything they can to keep their money in investment accounts where they earn interest on your money.
Most experts advise against speaking with another person’s insurance company
While you should call your own insurance company to report an accident, you are not required to speak with the other driver’s insurance carrier at all. Remember, they aren’t looking out for you.
