Get Help From Our Federal Way Pedestrian Accident Lawyer To Fight the Insurance Companies

After getting hit by a motor vehicle in a pedestrian accident, you deserve to recover compensation from the at-fault driver and their insurance company. Insurers will fight hard to minimize your financial recovery, no matter how clearly at fault the other driver may seem for the accident. Insurance companies have numerous tactics to force accident victims into accepting less than fair compensation for their injuries. Some of the ways that an insurer may try to undercut your pedestrian accident claim include:

Delaying the investigation or processing of your claim
Not responding to your calls and emails promptly
Misrepresenting the availability of coverage or applicable policy limits
Asserting that the insurance company will not negotiate or increase its compensation offer
Blaming you for the accident without adequate evidence
Monitoring your social media accounts for posts that the insurance company might use to undermine your claims
Demanding you provide a written or recorded statement about the accident so that the insurer can use snippets out of context to undercut your claims
Requesting access to your medical records so the insurance company can search your medical history for evidence of prior injuries or preexisting medical conditions the insurer can blame for your injuries
Pressuring you to accept a quick settlement by repeatedly mentioning your medical expenses or lost income

Although an insurance adjuster may seem like they want to help you recover after a pedestrian accident, remember that they have the singular goal of minimizing the insurance company’s liability to you. It would help to have a Federal Way pedestrian accident lawyer from Park Chenaur and Associates who will look out for your interests and defend your rights. Our firm can help you stand up to the insurance company to demand the financial recovery and justice you deserve for your injuries. When you hire us, you can expect our legal team to handle every detail of your case, including:

Thoroughly investigating the accident to secure evidence supporting your claim, including accident scene photos/video, police accident reports, witness statements, or surveillance/traffic camera footage of the accident
Reviewing the facts of your case to identify all potentially liable parties and sources of compensation, such as applicable insurance coverages
Explaining your legal options to you and preparing you for what to expect in your case
Documenting your injuries and losses, including future expenses, to calculate the amount of compensation you deserve to recover
Drafting and filing your insurance claims and aggressively negotiating with adjusters to reach a fair settlement
Taking your case to court and trial, if necessary, to demand accountability from an at-fault driver or the insurance company
