Reasons You Need an Attorney
Insurance Scams
It’s not really a surprise that avoiding claim payouts is how insurance companies all across the country stay in business. Here in Alberta, it’s no different. When an injury accident is reported to an insurance company, a quick settlement may be offered, before the incident particulars or the magnitude of the victim’s injuries is fully understood. If so, it’s usually a low offer that will barely cover the client’s needs, or possibly no offer by deeming the claim invalid.
How Can You Protect Your Rights and Ensure a Fair Claim Settlement?
The time immediately after an accident is when the victim is the most frightened and vulnerable. Insurance companies may take advantage of this, knowing that someone who’s hurting will often take the first offer presented to them before realizing they could be entitled to much more. Unfortunately, once an offer is accepted, the victim can neither sue nor file a new claim for a better settlement, and the insurance companies are counting on this. Hiring a personal injury lawyer is the best way to protect your rights and ensure a fair settlement is reached.
Bigger Settlements When Retaining an Alberta Personal Injury Lawyer
An Insurance Research Council study showed that settlement for personal injury claimants represented by a personal injury lawyer resulted in amounts 3.5 times larger than those who filed claims independently. Thousands of dollars or more potentially back in your pocket can go a long way in helping you make a successful recovery.
TYPE OF ACCIDENT OR INJURY | AVG. SETTLEMENT WITH AN ATTORNEY | AVG. SETTLEMENT WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY |
| Auto Accident | $21,000 | $7,000 |
| Brain Injury (TBI) | $500,000 | $165,000 |
| Spinal Cord Injury, Severe | $1,000,000 | $375,000 |
Physical Effects of Car Accidents
Anyone who has ever been involved in an accident can attest to the fact that regardless of how minor it may seem, severe injuries can result. Victims involved in minor accidents can suffer from whiplash, soft-tissue injuries, burns, spinal injury, broken bones, brain injury, bruises, paralysis, and even wrongful death. Your primary goals if you’ve been involved in a car accident should be to deal with your injuries and heal. Following that, you should seek reimbursement for any medical bills, lost wages and damage to your property.
- In 2020, there were over 150 thousand new vehicle registrations and over 1.7 million cars being sold in Canada.
- According to the Canadian Transportation Safety Board, 160,000 road accidents occur in Canada annually. This translates to 2,800 to 2,900 people losing their lives on the road every year.
