Understanding Claim Adjusters
If you've suffered an injury due to another's negligence, it's crucial to be aware of the claims adjuster's role. After auto accidents, the claims' adjuster, representing the responsible party, will likely contact you. While appearing caring, their primary goal is to build a defense for their client. They may attempt to record conversations, ask leading questions, and request medical authorizations. It is advisable not to grant permission, but instead hire an attorney to handle communication on your behalf.
Fees and Costs
In personal injury cases, our office operates contingently, ensuring you pay nothing upfront. We only receive compensation if you are awarded money, with our fee typically equivalent to one-third of the award (fewer fees and expenses). Fee fees may be higher in complex cases involving extensive legal work, such as medical negligence or product liability.
Hire Our Firm
Acting swiftly is crucial when seeking legal assistance. THE LAW OFFICE OF STEPHEN M. DODD advises prompt action to secure evidence, photographs, witness identification, and expert testimonials. Delays in hiring the right attorney can significantly impact the success of a case. Insurance adjusters often attempt to dissuade victims from hiring lawyers to minimize or eliminate the compensation owed. Hiring our firm promptly ensures effective representation to safeguard your rights and pursue rightful compensation. Connect with us now.
