Immediately after an accident, you’ll probably do the right thing by reporting the accident to your car insurance company. You may assume that the insurance company has your best interests in mind but as a recent church bus crash incident indicates, far too many people suffer the consequences of receiving and accepting a low accident insurance settlement offer. <\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An experienced attorney can be very valuable when you’re involved in a vehicle accident because insurance companies may attempt to offer you a low-ball settlement in order to close out the case before you’re aware of what you need to do next. <\/span><\/p>\n

Insurance settlements can be tricky because the immediate days and weeks following the accident are very stressful for a victim. During this same time period, however, the victim may not realize how extensive the injuries are. Some severe injuries, such as a TBI or spinal cord paralysis, may not be diagnosed right away.<\/span><\/p>\n

The crash killed 13 senior members of a New Braunfels church. Insurance companies often take advantage of the opportunity presented by an overwhelmed and confused post-accident victim by making a low accident insurance settlement offer. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"carThey may assume that you will be tempted by the offer of any money at all and will accept it and move on with your life. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, in the immediate days and weeks after a serious vehicle accident, you may not know the true extent of your injuries. You may not even understand your rights if you are a surviving family member who has lost a loved one in a critical accident. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is where the expertise provided by an experienced injury attorney<\/a> is extremely valuable. Insurance companies may try to pressure you to accept the settlement and make it seem as though this is their best possible offer but you do not have to accept a low settlement offer. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to have a better perspective on the types of compensation to which you may be entitled after a serious vehicle accident, you need to consult with a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible.
