Automobile Accident cases are not always easy to resolve because they may involve issues of liability, contributory fault, damages and the involvement of competing insurance policies. For example, insurance companies for at-fault drivers often contact the injured person as soon as possible, hoping to obtain a quick settlement at an amount which is very favorable to the insurance company.
The injured person typically does not know what elements of damages he may be entitled to recover under the law for his injury or how to fairly evaluate the amount of such damages. The insurance company, which desires to settle cases as cheaply as possible, is not likely to give the injured party such information.
Unfortunately, there are also instances where the at-fault driver may have no insurance to cover the loss, and then, it becomes important to interpret the injured persons coverages and rights to recovery under his own insurance policy.
Finally, there may be a question whether an automotive defect enhanced the injuries suffered by the injured person, giving rise to a more valuable
product liability claim. Few, if any, injured persons are able to evaluate their potential product liability claim and unwittingly impair such claims by settling quickly with the at-fault driver�s insurance company.
