After being involved in a car accident, your entire world could be turned upside down. The impact of your injuries is that only physical, but psychological, emotional, and in many cases, financial.

However, liable parties and insurance companies do everything they can to escape their financial obligations. With help from your dedicated Burlington car accident lawyer at DiBella Law, you can prevent them from getting away with it. You can demand maximum compensation for your damages by negotiating for the highest car accident settlement possible.

Hire a Car Accident Attorney to Negotiate on Your Behalf
First, do not make the mistake of trying to negotiate a higher settlement without the help of a skilled attorney. Many have made the same mistake and found themselves being taken advantage of by insurance companies or losing to liable parties at trial. Your car accident lawyer can handle every legal detail and knows exactly what needs to be said and done to get insurers to compensate you fairly.
There is no reason you have to negotiate anything when you hire a personal injury advocate to handle it for you. Instead, you can get continued medical treatment, spend time with your family, and start to rebuild your life. Our team will take over the rest and stop at nothing to maximize your payout.
Do Not Accept the Insurance Company’s First Offer
Insurance companies do not care about you or your needs. It sounds harsh to say, but the truth needs to be said so you know you cannot trust the insurance company. Insurance adjusters seem nice enough but they do not and will not put your financial needs above the insurance company’s.
Sadly, many car accident victims believe they have resolved their claims when they receive a settlement offer shortly after filing a claim. However, when insurance companies issue a first settlement and do so quickly, it is typically because they recognize the total value of the claim and are hoping to pay you as little as possible. Do not make the mistake of accepting this first settlement offer.
The insurance company is counting on you not knowing the true value of your claim. But when you have a reputable car accident lawyer on your side, you will know how much is reasonable and what you should not settle for. This is your chance to make the insurer pay you the maximum amount allowable based on the policy terms.
We've offered crucial support and guidance to individuals who have suffered injuries, ensuring their financial and emotional well-being.
Demonstrate the Extent of Your Injuries
Make sure the liable party and the insurance company understand the extent of your injuries. Obtain copies of your medical records to be introduced, ask your physician or healthcare provider to testify on your behalf at trial, and continue receiving the medical treatment and care you need to regain as much functionality and strength as possible.
Do not be surprised if those responsible argue that you are embellishing the extent of your injuries. The insurance company may even hire a professional to scope you out and see if you are engaging in activities you should not be able to. Your attorney can help you compile the medical evidence you need to prove the extent and severity of your injuries.

Prove the Value of Your Damages
Be prepared to prove the total value of your damages. Working with your personal injury lawyer, you will find out what your lost income, medical bills, and non-economic damages are worth. Do not be surprised if the insurer and liable parties try to convince you to settle for less.
Non-economic damages may be intangible, but your lawyer will have considerable experience determining their worth. Combined with your easily verifiable economic damages, we can demonstrate the true impact of the accident both now and how they may continue to affect your life in the future. Do not hesitate to bring your case to court if it becomes necessary.
Ensure Fault Is Accurately Evaluated
One of the most common ways liable parties defend themselves is by blaming injury victims for the accident. Massachusetts has modified comparative negligence laws, so if your percentage of blame is more than the state allows, you could lose your right to compensation and the liable party can avoid compensating you fairly. Your car accident attorney will ensure fault is evaluated correctly so your portion of blame is determined accurately.
Do Not Let the Insurer Take Advantage of You
Never let the insurance company take advantage of you during your greatest time of need. Sometimes, having an experienced and aggressive legal professional step in and show the insurer you mean business is the only way to avoid bad-faith insurance tactics and protect your settlement. Leaving the negotiations to your lawyer may be the best way to protect your sanity and maximize your payout.
