Escambia County Trial Lawyer
When you get in your car and drive to work or the grocery store, the last thing you think about is getting into an accident. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to anyone at any time, causing serious injuries such as broken bones, neck and back injuries, spinal cord injuries, head injuries and even death.
At The Burns Law Firm in Pensacola, we represent people who have been injured in accidents in northern Florida and southern Alabama. If you are from out of state, it is even more important to meet with our attorneys as soon as possible to discuss your case.
Protecting Your Right to Fair Compensation
You may be contacted by an insurance company adjuster within a few days or even a few hours of your accident. Even though the adjuster may seem to be friendly and helpful, he or she will be acting to protect the interests of the insurance company — not your interests.
To protect your rights:
- Don't discuss fault. Your recovery in a personal injury claim can be reduced by any percentage of fault that can be assigned to you. If you make a recorded statement, you will give the insurance company information it may be able to use against you later.
- Don't discuss injuries. The insurance company may try to get you to say things that either limit the extent of your injuries or attribute them to something other than the accident.
- Don't rush to settle your case. You can't always tell in a few days or even a month if you have suffered a permanent injury as a result of the accident. You should never settle you case until you know how the injury will affect you in the future.
In short, you should never say or sign anything before you talk to lawyer. Otherwise, you could end up giving up your rights. We represent people injured in accidents on I-110, I-10, I-90, I-65, I-59 and other roads on the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast.
