Williamsburg Car Accident Lawyer Knows How to Combat Insurance Company

Of the 141 car accidents in Williamsburg, Virginia (VA) in 2009 more than half resulted in injuries, according to the Virginia DMV. That's 76 people who may have been forced to deal with an insurance claims adjuster who is focused on reducing or outright denying your legitimate injury claim.

We encounter this problem all the time. Many clients come to our office with stories of claims adjusters making bold declarations about how our client's claim is worthless or that trying to get compensated for lost wages has no merit. Some claims adjusters don't even engage with you. They simply fail to return your phone calls in the hopes that you'll give up and not try to get compensation.

This is why you should speak to a Williamsburg car accident lawyer. Someone who has been seriously hurt in a car accident that was due to the carelessness of another driver on Jamestown Road, York Street, Richmond Road, or any other street in Williamsburg has a right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We will try to pursue punitive damages if it turns out the driver who hit you was drunk or distracted by texting or talking on their cell phone.

A common accident scenario in Williamsburg is someone getting hit by a lost or confused driver. Why? Because Williamsburg is home to the popular historical attraction, Colonial Williamsburg. There is also the Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport, the Yorktown Waterfront, and the Virginia Living Museum. Some drivers who are not familiar with the area may get lost and freeze up while on Interstate 64 (I-64) or another road. If you are hit by one of these drivers, speaking to a Williamsburg car accident lawyer makes sense considering we understand VA law and the car wreck claims process. We can also help with your property damage claim if your car is totaled or needs to be in the shop for a number of days.

Some people may believe they can handle the injury claims process themselves and not speak to a lawyer. This could be a big mistake since claims adjusters routinely take advantage of people who do not retain legal counsel. The best strategy is to speak with a Williamsburg car accident lawyer during a free consultation, discuss your legal options and see if it worth your while to pursue an injury claim against the at-fault driver's insurance company. If your injuries are very minor, like bruising, it may not be worth your time. Give us a call at 757-460-7776 or fill out the quick contact form on the right side of your screen.
