Auto Accident: Is It Okay to Work with Other Insurance Company?

Here is a myth, can I work it out with the other insurance company if I’m involved in an auto accident? The question is, yes. Is it recommended? My Name is Edward Reyes and I’m a personal injury attorney, here in Florida. Yes, you can work it out with the other company but keep in mind they are looking to save money on their insurance company because they work for the insurance company.

The people that are writing the checks, are adjusters adjusting the claim out and they’re trying not to spend the money of their boss, which is the insurance company. Yes, you can work it out with the other company, you can work it out with the other person but in my experience that I have seen, I have seen many times people try to work it out and they get shortchanged from the other side trying to mitigate or reduce the damages that you’re suffering.

This happens all the time. In fact, a personal story, my first car accident when I was younger, somebody gave me $400 and I thought that was enough. Come to find out, to make the repairs on my car, were over a thousand something dollars and the injuries that I felt after the fact, were much greater than that. So, can you work it out? The technical answer is yes. Should you work it out with them by yourself? So that myth is busted.
