Can I resolve the damages of a traumatic brain injury by dealing directly with the other party's insurer?
You almost always recover more money if you are represented by a personal injury attorney - even after you deduct the lawyer’s fees. Insurers would like you to believe that you can do as well without a lawyer, but they actually offer unrepresented accident victims less money from the get-go. Never forget that insurance companies are operating for profit. It is in the company’s best interest to settle your claim as cheaply as possible. It has no obligation to keep your best interests in mind!
You may be able to settle a routine fender bender with the other driver’s insurer, but settling a brain injury claim requires an experienced brain injury lawyer. An experienced lawyer will be able to determine the amount of money you will need to deal with your brain injury. Figuring out how much you need may require the advice of neurologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, economists, rehabilitation specialists, occupational therapists and a host of other experts. In addition to getting you more money, a lawyer can save you the aggravation of dealing with impersonal, uncooperative and aggressive insurance adjusters.
