A Personal Injury Lawyer in Mission who will Help you Obtain all the Compensation you are Entitled to

The negligent party’s insurance adjuster often contacts the injured person. Generally, the adjuster acts like a friend, expressing sympathy for you and your pain. Knowing you are losing wages and piling up medical bills, the adjuster offers you a settlement. It will be tempting to accept the money. 

Beware. The adjuster does not work for you but works for the insurance company. Adjusters’ jobs are to save their boss money. Statistics show that victims who have personal injury attorneys receive far more compensation than those who deal directly with adjusters.
