If you drive or travel in an automobile, odds are you will be involved in at least one automobile accident. Protect yourself by observing the rules of the road and also protect yourself against uninsured and underinsured motorists by purchasing the appropriate insurance coverage.

There are many factors that can lead to an auto accident. Speeding, driver fatigue, weather conditions, driver distraction and intoxication caused by drugs or alcohol, are just a few. These numerous contributing factors can make an auto accident claim complicated. In order to protect the legal rights of someone injured in an auto accident, many complicated legal issues must be considered and properly addressed, including compliance with a potentially large number of time deadlines and careful maneuvering through the insurance company minefield is critical.

It is important to remember that insurance adjusters work for the insurance companies and not for the victims of auto accidents. Often adjusters will make offers at a very early stage in a claim - sometimes hours after the accident. They make these offers before the full extent of the injured person's injuries are known. The insurance company's goal is to give the victim as little money as possible. Insurance adjusters are paid to minimize the value of victims' claims, not to advise victims of their rights. For these reasons and many more, it is important that you obtain the legal advice of an attorney before signing anything.
