Do I Need to Hire a Santa Fe Pedestrian Accident Lawyer?
Yes, you should seriously consider hiring a Santa Fe pedestrian accident attorney following any injury. There are countless benefits to this move, but the most important is this: pedestrian accidents often cause devastating—and expensive—injuries. When the liable party’s insurance company realizes just how much you’re owed in damages, they will do whatever they can to undervalue the amount you receive in your settlement.
Some insurance adjusters will appear at an injured pedestrian’s hospital bed, all in the hopes of getting them to sign off on an early, easy settlement. This can seem very tempting, especially as you see the amount of money they offer. At this point, there’s no way to clearly understand exactly how much you’re owed, since we won’t know the full extent of many of your injuries and damages.
Instead, an attorney from Lerner and Rowe will combat these aggressive tactics. This will be our focus as we work through your case. By building a comprehensive claim and defending your best interests, we will fight for you to receive the highest amount of compensation possible.
