A Roswell personal injury attorney can clarify any legal or insurance claim issues you have as a passenger injured in an accident. Drivers who are injured in a car accident may deal with deceptive tactics on behalf of the insurance company. Passengers may face the same thing.
The insurance company may try to blame your injuries on a pre-existing condition. Or, an adjuster may attempt to get you to settle your claim right away, even though you have further medical treatment to undergo.
The insurance company could also try to lowball you when offering a settlement. To ensure your insurance claim is treated in a fair manner, consider legal representation with a Roswell personal injury attorney.
