1. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.
If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident it’s important to understand the “real”
agenda of the insurance company in your case. First, understand the insurance
company is not your friend, they are not looking out for you, they are only
looking out for their own interests. See, insurance companies exist for one
purpose only, to make money. Insurance companies make money by selling insurance
and receiving premium payments, they then invest this money and make even more
money. Insurance companies lose money by paying out benefits (money) to people
hurt in accidents caused by the people they insure. Since you are one of those
people who want the insurance company to pay you money you represent a potential
loss to the insurance company and insurance companies hate losses, cause that
really sets back that whole “exist only to make money thing.” Never forget these
simple facts, they are the basis for everything the insurance company does, they
have only one goal, that is to close your case without paying you anything or if
they have to pay you something, to pay you as little as possible.
2. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS ALWAYS REPRESENTED BY AN EXPERIENCED MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT LAWYER.
Insurance companies are smart, they know that when you're dealing with the law
you need a lawyer, a lawyer experienced in motorcycle accident law. Insurance
company lawyers are there for one reason only, to protect the interests of the
insurance company. If you choose not to be represented by a lawyer, the
insurance company’s lawyer armed with, years of knowledge and experience,
adjusters, investigators and almost limitless resources has absolutely no
obligation to look out for your interests, you are on your own.
3. INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY ALMOST THREE TIMES MORE MONEY IN CAR ACCIDENT CASES
WHEN THE INJURED PERSON IS REPRESENTED BY A LAWYER.
This fact comes straight out of an insurance company’s training manual. We
believe this fact applies equally to motorcycle accident cases. Paying three
times more money to injured people who have retained legal counsel certainly
explains why so much of an insurance adjuster’s time is spent trying to
discourage accident victims from talking to lawyers. When you think about it, it
makes sense, of course people without representation who have essentially no knowledge or
experience about accident law, won’t be able to negotiate nearly as effectively
as a trained, accident attorney. Since insurance company’s sole reason to exist
is to make money it’s clear that keeping injured people and lawyers apart makes
good economic sense for them but not for you.
4. HIRING A LAWYER DOESN’T MEAN YOUR CASE WILL TAKE YEARS TO BE SETTLED OR MEAN
YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO COURT.
A lot of people think that hiring a lawyer delays the
legal process so that their case will take years to be
completed. The truth is, this almost never happens. At
Brown & Crouppen most accident cases are finished in one
year or less. We usually figure that a case will be all
done within 60 to 120 days after we receive your final
medical records. As far as your fear of having to go to
court, don’t worry, it is rare that any Brown & Crouppen
client will ever have to go to court or even sit for a
deposition. Through a lot of hard work we have developed a
reputation in the legal community that allows us to fairly
settle most of our cases without the need of our clients
to be subjected to these unpleasant parts of our legal
system. In short, don’t worry, your case will probably be
settled favorably in months not years and very few Brown & Crouppen clients ever have to appear in court.
5. YOU DON’T HAVE FOREVER TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CASE.
Unfortunately, this is the truth. There are definite time
limits in taking care of your case. These time limits are
called statutes of limitations and if you wait past the
time set out in the statute your case is over, forever,
regardless if you have gotten any money or not. Don’t let
this happen to you, if you have a motorcycle accident
don’t wait until it’s too late, call Brown & Crouppen now.
6. IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANY MONEY IN ADVANCE TO GET A LAWYER IN A MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT CASE.
At Brown & Crouppen our policy in motorcycle accident cases, as well as our
other injury cases, is that we never charge you any “in advance” legal fee. The
only way you ever pay any legal fees or expenses is at the conclusion of your
case and then only out of the money we were able to recover for you. If we are
unsuccessful and no money is collected then any costs we incurred is our expense
and of course you owe us nothing for our time. We believe we should make money
only after we make you money. That’s why it doesn’t cost you any money in
advance to get a lawyer in a motorcycle accident case.
