Car Accident Lawyer
If you have recently been injured in a car crash, you may have already contacted your insurance company and/or the insurance company of others involved in the collision. It is also possible that insurance representatives have already reached out to you. Whether you have already spoken with a claims representative or not, it is time to connect with a lawyer who can advocate for your interests. Why? As an experienced car accident lawyer – including those who practice at David & Philpot, P.L. – can confirm, insurance representatives will look for an excuse to devalue or reject your claim if they can. Working with an attorney can help to ensure that you receive any and all compensation to which you are entitled without unnecessary delay.
Profits, Proof, and Potential Problems
Like any other for-profit company is, insurance companies are concerned with turning a profit. Therefore, training their representatives to seek ways to pay less on claims isn’t necessarily a malicious strategy. Insurance companies—generally speaking—simply like to keep their profits in their accounts instead of in the accounts of those who submit claims. As a result, if you say anything to an insurance representative that can give them an excuse to pay you less than the full amount that you deserve, you will probably end up with a settlement that is valued lower than the maximum.
Even if you are a savvy negotiator, if you aren’t familiar with the ins and outs of the insurance claims process, you may say something that could compromise the strength of your claim. Working with an experienced attorney will better ensure that nothing is said in reference to your case that could be used as an excuse to lower its value. Instead, a lawyer who is used to dealing with insurance representatives successfully will be able to use an approach that will bolster your claim.
If you have not yet reached out to insurance companies associated with your collision, wait to do so until you’ve explored your legal options with the assistance of an attorney. If you have already connected with one or more insurance representatives, schedule a risk-free consultation with a lawyer who will be able to tell you if you could still benefit from retaining legal representation at this time. If your accident was minor, your insurance claims process may not be terribly consequential. But, if you’ve been injured and/or sustained significant property damage, better ensuring that your claims process “goes your way” may be an investment of your time and energy that is worth making.

Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was facing a charge of Reckless Driving for speeding on I66 at midnight. This is considered a Class 1 Misdemeanor in the state of Virginia. Having something like Reckless Driving on your record is on par with having a DUI. This charge also carries a chance for jail time (up to a year). I was incredibly scared because I had never faced such a charge. And looking into Virginia Law, my speed exceeded 90mph, which is quite serious. I retained Dave Albo to help me with this case. Since my record was clean, Dave had advised I do the following before my trial. * Take a DMV Driver's Improvement Course * Take a Behavior Modification Course * Do 100 hours of community service * Print my DMV Record one week before the trial On the day of my trial, Dave got my Reckless Driving charge REDUCED to a regular Speeding charge. This was the absolute best case scenario for me. No criminal record. No jail time. No suspension of license. I did receive 6 demerit points and had to pay a fine of $250 (plus court fees). But that's a slap on the wrist, compared to what I could have been facing. Thank you Dave Albo for helping me through this ordeal!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave albo it's a fantastic lawyer.

Dave was my attorney recently for a car accident where I needed someone to represent me in court. After exchanging all necessary information he reassured me when the court date came that there wouldn’t be anything to worry about. On the day of court a couple problems arose and Dave was able to rectify them quickly, told me everything I need to say if needed and when it was all over he got my violation reduced significantly. I hope to never go to court again but if I do I will being calling Dave again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
