If you have been injured in an Auto Accident- here is some valuable information


If you have been injured in an auto accident in Virginia – Roanoke, Salem, Botetourt, Blacksburg, Franklin Co. or the surrounding areas --

All too frequently we receive calls from injured persons who relied on the insurance company to take care of them and resolve their claim in a fair and reasonable manner.  The insurance adjuster strings you along with gracious concern for your well-being and promises to pay your medical bills and lost wages at the conclusion of your claim.  When you attempt to settle your claim with the adjuster, you come to the rude awakening that the adjuster never intended to resolve your claim to your satisfaction.  This is because your well-being is not their priority – saving money for their company is.  If you wait until it is time to resolve your claim to seek a lawyer’s help, you could be in a precarious position.  So much time has elapsed that it could be too late to take photographs of the automobiles involved and of your injuries.  Witnesses may have vanished along with their important knowledge of the wreck.  You may have signed an authorization to allow the adjuster to access your medical records without limiting the authorization to wreck-related records.  You may have divulged information to the adjuster to which he or she is not entitled.  You may have compromised your claim.  That is why it is vitally important that you consult an attorney with proven experience in handling personal injury and bodily injury claims if you have been involved in an automobile collision.  It can make the difference between receiving the compensation that you deserve and having to settle for what the insurance company thinks that your claim is worth.  Call us at Altizer & Altizer, at 540-345-2000.  Our website is www.AltizerLaw.com.
