| What the Insurance Companies Don't Want You to Know
Have you been recently been involved in an automobile or motorcyle accident due to the negligence of someone else? Were you hit by tractor-trailer? Were you or any members of your family injuried? What do I do next? What the insurance companies want victims of automobile accidents to believe is that you do not need an attorney. Why? Because insurance companies know that the person the quicker they make a settlement with a victim of an automobile accident without an attorney the less it will cost them. Bottom line is insurance companies are not interested in your well being, they are interested in keeping their payouts down to the least dollar possible. On the other hand your attorney is concerned with your well being, he is concerned that you get adequate compensation for your and your families personal injuries, that you get proper medical treatment and are fully recovered before a settlement is even considered. Your attorney wants to make sure that you are compensated for your medical bills and lost wages, your pain and suffering, and any personal disability you may have as a result of the accident. The difference in a nutshell between the insurance company's adjuster and your attorney is that the adjuster is attempted to minimize their losses by giving you inadequate compensation, while your attorney is trying to maximize your recovery by attempting to get you adequate compensation. Insurance adjusters know that automobile accident victims that they are dealing with are not trained and have little or no experience dealing with adjusters, much less take their case to court if it is neccessary as your experienced personal injury attorney is, so the adjuster is unlikely to offer fair compensation.

Remember, never wait to the last minute to get your attorney involved in your personal injury case and just before the statute of limitations expires because most attorneys will not accept a case close to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The Statute of Limitations is the period of time that you must file suit from the time of the automobile accident or are forever barred from doing so. It varies from state to state, in Arkansas it is 3 years; Missouri 5 years; Oklahoma 2 years; Tennessee 1 year; Texas 2 years; and varies from 1 to 6 years in other states.
