Well, insurance companies are typically acting on behalf of insurance companies. So, when they tell you that they wanna take a statement or that they’re gonna treat you fairly, they are concerned about their best interests and their bottom line. They’re not particularly concerned about the person who’s hurt.

So, I always tell folks that the insurance company is interested in a very bottom line approach to the case where they’re gonna try and effectuate a settlement that benefits the insurance company and certainly not the injured person and that a component lawyer will have a much, much better understanding of the value of the case and the appropriate amount of money that should be paid.

Chicago, IL Personal Injury Attorney Mark P. Loftus talks about why one should get a lawyer even if your insurance company has offered to settle the case.
