Insurance Adjusters Don't Represent You

We get paid attorney fees only if we win money for your auto accident claim. If we don't win you money for your auto accident claim you don't owe us any legal fees. Licensed insurance representatives who work for the insurance company handle claims for Henderson auto accident cases. The primary goal of the insurance representative is to pay the smallest sum of money from their employer insurance company they can. By slowing down the payment of claims, an insurance company accumulates interest on the money they invest. Don't be misled into believing the insurance adjuster represents you for your Henderson auto accident case. The adjuster may seem nice, but these adjusters do not represent your best interests. Sometimes the insurance company hires a local Henderson Auto Accident personal injury investigator to investigate and settle your case. Insurance adjusters pay the least amount of money that Nevada law forces them to pay an auto accident victim. An insurance company is a business whose central goal is to make the most profit. They will not pay a nickel more than the amount of money Nevada law requires them to pay you. They seek to earn the most profit for their employer insurance company possible. They are not trying to make a generous offer to a person injured in an auto accident. Insurance adjusters don't work to locate the best Henderson doctor they can find. They don't pay money in advance of the settlement if you can't work and aren't getting paid. They won't give you cash up front to pay your medical expenses or to keep collection companies from harassing you. They don't hurry to get your car repaired. They do not hold committee meetings to find a way to pay you the most money possible for your auto accident claim.

Don't Handle Your Auto Accident Case Alone

It's not in your best interest to handle your own auto accident case or to try and settle your case with the insurance company directly without a Henderson Auto Accident Attorney helping you. It is of utmost importance to have an experienced attorney helping you with your Henderson auto accident claim who handles these on a regular basis, and who has the know how and experience in helping victims of Henderson auto accidents. The best chance for you to receive the most money for your personal injury settlement while getting the best medical help with the fewest problems is by hiring our office. You will not need to figure out which doctor's office to provide you help. Our law office has case managers who are experienced and work closely with an attorney who supervises their work. They help with car damage problems resulting from a Henderson auto accident. Your auto may be determined to be a total loss. We will work with the insurance adjuster and get him or her to pay the money your car was worth. We assist with getting the bank loan paid off.

We have paralegals and attorneys experienced in helping with Henderson Auto Accident claims that can study the legal documents and are experienced with auto accident general release forms the insurance adjuster will ask you to sign. Do not sign legal documents from an insurance representative prior to our attorneys reading them and making sure only the correct legal wording appears. If you fail to do that you may discover that you gave up important rights to receive a settlement for some types of property damage, rental car expenses, auto storage cost and other property damage rights. The typical general release form may end up in you giving up your legal right to recover payment for a supplemental damage estimate not found until the first auto repair is done. The primary reason to be sure the legal documents are reviewed is that signing them with certain language can remove your right to recover money for personal injury or medical care. Our office handled an auto accident claim where the insurance company sent us a general release for the property damage claim. If we didn't change the language, the form would have given up any additional reimbursement for the injury and cost of medical care. A lot of times we need to alter the forms received from the insurance adjuster to protect our client's rights in auto accident claim. There are numerous cases where auto accident victims filed a lawsuit against an insurance company to fight to reinstate the rights lost where they didn't realize they were releasing the entire case. The Judge will most likely not allow the continued claim once the wrong wording has been signed.

Our attorneys have helped auto accident victims with tens of thousands of auto accident cases and have extensive experience. Prior to working on your own claim, consider how many auto accident claims you have settled. It should be crystal clear that you are far better off allowing an attorney with experience in the numerous laws, procedures and hidden traps involved in resolving Henderson auto accident cases. You are better off turning your case over to attorney Jack Bernstein and his staff to do the work needed to solve the problems related to your Henderson auto accident claim. Don't rush to settle your case after a Henderson auto accident. It is better to allow a Henderson Chiropractor or physician with experience in helping trauma victims from auto accidents help you heal prior to settling your case. A Physical therapist or massage therapist can help your injuries to heal. Some types of damage to your body gets worse over time instead of better. Doctors with experience in assisting people injured in an auto accidents may have diagnostic testing such as a CAT scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) done to uncover if you have sustained an injury to the internal structures of your body. The sophistication of these tests allows doctors to view an internal injury of your spine and discs in your neck, back or other body parts. Some injuries heal only with more aggressive medical procedures like epidural shots or surgical repair. Some injury types like nerve damage to the wrist or brain, may progressively worsen with the passage of time following an auto accident. There is tremendous significance for a Henderson Auto Accident attorney to keep the above thoughts on the top of his mind as he works on your Henderson auto accident claim.

Receive Medical Care Now and Pay For it Later

Most doctors want payment for medical care before they see you, particularly when you have no medical insurance. It is far more difficult to pay for medical care following a Henderson auto accident, especially if your injuries cause you to miss time from your work. Attorneys with experience who have resolved a lot of Henderson auto accident claims like me and the attorneys at my office are aware that a doctor's letter of protection (LOP) should be signed instantly and faxed back immediately so the doctor knows he or she will be paid at the conclusion of your case. An additional reason to hire an attorney with experience like Jack Bernstein who assists people with Henderson auto accident claims is he quickly signs the doctor liens causing those medical offices to trust they will get payment out of the settlement from Jack's office and will not hesitate to provide the necessary medical care. Nevada Attorney Professional rules of ethics that govern Nevada attorney conduct require the attorney working on the injury case to make payment to the medical provider who has a signed letter of protection at the time of settlement. If the attorney does not pay the provider he or she is subject to discipline. If you are without an attorney who signs a letter of protection, the Medical provider does not have confidence they will receive payment out of the settlement because the professional ethics rules do not govern non-attorneys. If the medical provider did not get paid by a patient who had no attorney, their only remedy would be to file a lawsuit against you in Clark County Court. Doctors and medical professionals do not like to take that risk. Many chiropractic and physicians offices will only provide medical care and help needed for an injured patient due to a Henderson auto accident when there is an auto accident attorney such as Jack Bernstein helping with your auto accident claim.

Money May Be Lent to You Before Your Settlement

Loan companies can advance money on a Henderson auto accident case when there is an attorney who agrees to pay back the loan. This loan contract requires you to give the money back when the case settles. Nevada Professional ethic rules make an attorney pay the loaned money back to the loan company when the case settles. Without an attorney agreement to honor the loan contract you sign, the loan company would have to file a lawsuit against you in the Clark County Courthouse to get their money back. They will not take that chance and leave themselves without the protections afforded by having an attorney who is forced to repay the money or face punishment from the Nevada Bar Association and be stuck paying the money back.

Our Attorneys Will Fight The Insurance Company

Additional things to keep in mind when deciding on a Henderson auto accident attorney include the way the insurance companies strategize on a way to pay you the least money for your settlement. The insurance company employees work together as a team (they are known as units) in a strategic way based on decades and centuries of knowledge to give you the lowest amount of money in order for you to sign a release. The insurance team consisting of an adjuster, supervisor, and manager (and in larger claims a regional manager and their claim committee) work with each other on every Henderson auto accident case and meet to discuss any weakness or strength in your case. An important part of the discussion is whether you represent yourself and whether your lawyers office actually files suit themselves or refers your case to a “litigator”. Be advised that at our office we litigate our own cases if they need to go to court. If you are working on your own claim they know that only an attorney will have the knowledge and skills needed to bring a lawsuit in the Clark County Court if the insurance company is unwilling to pay a reasonable amount for your Henderson auto accident case. The insurance adjuster is aware that it requires an auto accident attorney with experience to file a lawsuit in the Clark County Court. They are aware that non attorneys won't be aware of the laws and rules necessary to fight the insurance company and their legal defense team. The insurance adjusters and insurance defense attorneys are experienced in keeping you from receiving a settlement in the top value range for your Henderson Auto Accident case. If you reside outside the State of Nevada, it is smart not to retain an attorney from a state that is not licensed to by the Nevada State Bar. The insurance company team will take that into account. There is the chance the out of state attorney could have you settle for a lower amount of money than your case is worth since he or she would not be allowed to file a lawsuit in the Clark County District Court if the insurance adjuster failed to offer a reasonable auto accident settlement.

Higher Auto Accident Settlements With an Attorney

Most of the time you will end up with a much higher settlement with an experienced attorney helping with your Henderson auto accident case. Most of the time the Insurance Company will pay a higher settlement for your auto accident claim when an attorney with experience is handling the negotiation with the insurance adjuster. In general, you will be paid more money with an auto attorney than without one. In our office we work as a team with the attorneys in our office during settlement negotiations.
