Yes. As a general rule it is always better to consult with an attorney and allow them to determine what, if anything, needs to be done from a legal perspective to protect your interests.  We will answer your questions without obligation and or charge so that you can make appropriate and necessary decisions.  Gnerally speaking, many accidents involve difficult legal and factual issues which can be best sorted out by an attorney who is trained in handling such claims.   Further, without an attorney an insurance company may underestimate or undervalue the amount of money you are entitled to receive as a result of injuries that you or your loved one may have sustained. Kooi Law Firm is well-versed in dealing directly with insurance companies to assure that our client’s are being taken care of, and when applicable, that they are receiving adequate compensation for their injuries.

Similarly, serious accidents oftentimes have long-term effects on an individual’s physical and emotional well-being.  In such cases, the client is frequently not well enough to handle the rigors of litigation and the stresses that the insurance company and the defense lawyers for the insurance companies generate.  Our goal is to stop to protect our clients. We will do everything necessary under the law to represent our client’s interest, and when required, to protect victims from actions of the insurance companies and their defense lawyers.   

To that end, while insurance companies do, on rare occasions, admit fault, it is more common that they will contest the nature and extent of the injuries suffered by you, the innocent victim.  The insurance company may look for any way imaginable to avoid responsibility for the full extent of a victim’s injuries.  Special expertise is required to develop the evidence necessary to prove the full extent of your injuries and their relationship to this accident.  Let us do the work for you.

Finally, personal injury litigation is a difficult and complicated area of law.  Oftentimes merely identifying the available auto insurance coverages in a given accident is a complicated matter.  For example, in the case of an uninsured or underinsured driver, a number of different policies may be involved.  Sometimes there are notice provisions under the various insurance policies that must be complied with in order to process your claim.  Our experience in the personal injury field will help you accurately identify all potential policies and sources of coverage that might that may be available to your benefit.

In summary, an injured victim has nothing to lose and a great deal to gain by contacting us for free legal consultation concerning any injury claim.

If you are contacted by an insurance adjuster, bear in mind that they do not represent your interests.  The relationship between an injured victim and the wrongdoer’s insurance company is an adversarial relationship.  The insurance company likely has no concern for your well-being and are not looking to protect your interests.  That is why we are here. We can help make the difference as your lawyer.
