Why victims of Denver auto accidents need an attorney

Friday, December 25, 2009 by William Muhr

Sometimes insurance companies try to delay cases hoping to wear victims down so they will accept less money in a settlement. Here are a few tactics you should be aware of if you are a victim of a Denver auto accident (of course, you should contact a Denver auto accident attorneys immediately)

Insurance companies may “take their time” even accepting liability for an auto accident. They may do this by not returning phone calls for days or weeks at a time. If your phone call isn’t returned, and they do not accept liability, it will delay the time frame in which you may get compensated.

If you have a Denver auto accident attorney like William Muhr on your side you will likely have much more leverage.

There may also be delays in getting your car repaired. Other times they may say they will have to wait for the accident report from the police. In today’s busy world-time is money. The insurance company collects interest you could be collecting or avoid paying by holding onto your money for as long as they can. They may even deny paying medical bills, forcing you to go through the arduous process of having to re-submit claims.

In some cases your own insurance company may delay in paying your bills or accepting your claims. They may even try to get your doctor to accept a reduced amount for your care-especially if it is chiropractic care.
In some cases they may require a peer review from another doctor-further delaying your compensation, while you rack up bills, pay late fees or tap into your savings.
