Contact a Lawyer Early
The importance of hiring a lawyer quickly following an automobile accident can not be over stated. When a claim is first registered with the insurance adjuster, it is his or her primary job to evaluate the case and set the reserve. The "reserve" will be instrumental in setting an artficial ceiling as to future negotiations. While the amount set as a reserve can be amended, your attorney can help set an initial reserve amount that will be most conducive to a higher settlement if you are able to settle the case. Even though we pride ourselves on success in the courtroom, the vast majority of cases are resolved through negotiation. A head start always helps!
