Contacting Insurance Companies in Texas

If you are seriously injured in a car accident, you will have to deal with your own insurance as well as the other driver’s insurance.

Worrying about contacting insurance companies in Texas can make an already terrible situation even worse. Let a personal injury lawyer with Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP handle all insurance company communications for you.

One of the most important things to know is that it is a large misconception that insurance companies are on your side—in fact, insurance companies are in the business of paying you the least amount of money for your damages or injuries.  

That is also why you should never give a recorded statement to an insurance company.

The Pitfalls of Contacting Insurance Companies in Texas Without an Attorney

Insurance companies are businesses whose primary goal is to minimize payouts to protect their bottom line. This can lead to several pitfalls for individuals attempting to handle these communications independently. Here are just a few.

Twisting Your Words

Insurance adjusters know how to manipulate conversations to benefit their employer. They might use tactics such as asking leading questions, taking statements out of context, or pushing for quick settlements far below what you deserve. Most victims don’t understand the law and the insurance industry. Adjusters can mislead or coerce them into accepting less than they deserve as a result.

Saying the Wrong Thing

Another significant pitfall is the potential for victims to inadvertently undermine their own claims. Insurance companies often request recorded statements from accident victims under the guise of better understanding the incident. However, they often use these statements against the victim. An insurer can exploit inconsistencies, even minor ones, to deny or reduce the claim. Without legal guidance, victims might unknowingly provide information that harms their case.

How Attorneys Handle Insurance Company Communications

Skilled personal injury lawyers are well-versed in contacting insurance companies in Texas. They know the tactics used by insurance companies and can effectively counteract them. Here are the types of communications attorneys handle to safeguard their clients’ interests:

• The initial notification and claims filing: Attorneys can notify the insurance company and correctly file all necessary documentation. For example, they can prepare and submit the claim forms, reducing the risk of errors or omissions that could delay or jeopardize the claim.

• Negotiating settlements: One of the most critical roles of an attorney is to negotiate with the insurance company. A personal injury lawyer with Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP  has the skills and experience to evaluate settlement offers and determine whether they’re fair. They can also push back against lowball offers and advocate for a settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries and damages.

• Managing recorded statements and interviews: A personal injury lawyer can advise clients on handling requests for recorded statements or interviews. They’ll often be present during these interactions to protect your rights. They’ll also ensure you don’t mistakenly say anything that could damage your case.

• Addressing disputes and appeals: If the insurance company disputes the claim or offers an unsatisfactory settlement, attorneys can handle the appeals process. They’ll gather additional evidence, prepare legal arguments, and represent you in negotiations or court proceedings.
