Beware: Insurance Companies Are Not On Your Side

Insurance companies are often involved in many personal injury claims as they are responsible for paying out compensation to those injured in the incident. However, it’s important to know that they are not on your side – regardless of their nice, sincere or compassionate demeanor.

Insurance companies are operating like any other business. They want to make money. They are not in the business to pay out expensive claims. Many insurance adjusters will often contact an injured party after an accident and offer them what they feel is a lucrative settlement offer.

Unfortunately, such offers are far from substantial and far from what you need or are entitled to recover.

It may seem tempting to take the offer but, in many cases, the amount of compensation does not take into account expenses for future medical expenses, like unexpected surgeries, rehabilitative care or lost wages from extensive time off of work.

Advocacy You Need In Your Corner

Before negotiating with any insurance adjuster, get an attorney who knows what you are entitled to recover and one who will fight for maximum compensation.

That’s where I can help. I know the law and have assisted other injured parties recover:

  • Medical expenses, including doctor visits, surgical procedures, hospital stays, rehabilitation, physical therapy
  • Prescription medication or medical devices
  • Lost wages, both present and future
  • Lost earning potential
  • Repair or replacement of damaged property

In some situations, Maryland law also allows victims to recover damages for pain and suffering.
