Negotiating With Insurance Companies
Your first instinct is to call the at-fault party’s insurance company to claim damages. And yes, they may return your call in a few days; however, the reality is insurance adjusters will do their best to settle below what you’re owed for your property damage and injuries because they’re in the business of making money.
An insurance adjuster will go out of their way to make you believe you’re getting a fair and just deal. Don’t buy it! Insurance companies have an army of attorneys that fight against paying out large settlements—making it 100 percent necessary to oppose them with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
Lastly, insurance companies may request a recorded statement and tell you it’s mandatory to recover compensation. Know that New Jersey state law does not require recorded statements. Insurance companies employ this tactic against you when settling your claim.
Know your rights and always reach out to our personal injury lawyers first. We are in a better position to negotiate for you and will, in most cases, settle your claim for more compensation than you could on your own.

What to Do After an Accident
After you seek medical attention, keep any medical documentation from your treatment—including diagnoses, treatment plans, and medication requirements. It’s also a good idea to keep a journal documenting the details of your recovery, including all medical expenses, lost wages, and depleted finances.
In the case of a car accident, be sure to obtain a copy of the police report if you haven’t received one yet. The police report contains vital details of the accident, like the names of the parties involved, their insurance companies, and the attending officers’ observations of the accident site.
As you’ve discovered, it’s best to have your lawyer handle all insurance company communication, including contacting your insurance company, even if you’re not at fault.
And lastly, do not share any details of your accident on social media, as insurance companies can use that against you. You can keep photos documenting your recovery and showing any property damage at the accident scene to reference for your personal injury attorney only.
When you hand in your documentation to your legal team at Reinartz Law Firm, we’ll also advise you, specific to your case, what not to do.
