Our Office's Traffic Accident Response-Three Strengths?
Bargaining power over insurance companies
We understand that traffic accidents can be a stressful time for both the victim and his/her relatives. However, in order to receive appropriate payment for your injury, you will have to undertake complicated calculations to submit an appropriate assessment of damages.
When you submit the extent of your damage to the insurance company, they will most likely assess your damage and offer you a meager sum of money. However in many cases, Insurance companies try to withhold payments, so you may not receive the full sum of money of which you should be entitled to. In such a situation you will have to calculate the damage yourself and negotiate with the insurance company to receive the appropriate amount from them. However, this is a bad idea since without the necessary technical knowledge, you are likely to leave negotiations empty handed.
We therefore recommend that you consult with us so that you can use our wealth of experience and understanding of the field to handle negotiations with the insurance company on your behalf.
We will provide you with an accurate assessment of damages
In order to complete an assessment of damages, you will have a checkup from the doctors who will make a review of the extent of your injuries. However, since doctors are only medical professionals, they may not be familiar with the legal technical procedures and thus they may make assessments that undervalue the sum of compensation that you are entitled to. At our firm we have lawyers with a strong background in medicine who can assess your injuries who can give you an accurate assessment of damages.
We will provide you with all round support
In order to minimize the psychological burden of traffic accident victims and their families, we have put in place a comprehensive support system that covers everything from negotiations with insurance companies to the continuation of medical expense payments, support for damage assessments, settlements with the insurance companies, and the settlement of lawsuits (should they occur).
We have a system in place to provide total support to clients until they negotiate to prevent the discontinuation of treatment costs, provide grade support for disability, negotiate settlements with insurance companies and claim damages, and settle lawsuits.
If the lawyer does not negotiate, will the amount of compensation not be increased?
There are many people who try to negotiate with an insurance company on their own with an awareness of the costs of attorneys.
But lawyers can offer Court standards-conscious compensation because there is a lot of chance that they will go through the process of actually challenging the case.
Therefore, it is very difficult for an insurance company to increase the amount of compensation offered by the insurance company even if the general public, who does not have knowledge of legal procedures, negotiates directly with the insurance company.
Three compensation standards for traffic accidents
Automobile liability insurance standards
Automobile liability insurance is a compulsory insurance policy that requires drivers to purchase.
Automobile liability insurance standards compensation is based on the amount paid by the automobile liability insurance and is set at the lowest level as imagined. Many insurers try to talk about the Automobile liability insurance standards's compensation as a settlement.
If you settle the settlement without knowing anything about the insurance company, you will be able to reduce the amount of compensation that you would otherwise receive.
Voluntary insurance standards
Voluntary insurance standards sets the amount of compensation based on its own payment standards.
As an image, it would be good to think that the amount is increased somewhat by the amount approaching the Automobile liability insurance standards.
In other words, even if an insurer has offered to pay damages at the upper limit of its Voluntary insurance standards, it is still generally lower than the amount of damages that can be awarded in court.
Therefore, even in Voluntary insurance standards cases, settlement should not be easily reached.
Court standards
Court standards is based on the expected amount of the trial.
This is an objective amount of compensation that can be derived by a court decision, so it is considered to be the most reasonable and fair standard amount.
Incidentally, the amount of this Court standards is not binding on the courts, and there are cases in which the amount of compensation is increased.
Proposed out-of-court settlements of insurers are usually made in Automobile liability insurance standards or Voluntary insurance standards
The insurance company is trying to reduce the payment of damages as much as possible.
For this reason, we first present the amount to be paid based on the automobile liability insurance standard, and if it is difficult to do so, we will present the compensation at the Voluntary insurance standards and try to summarize the discussion.
However, in some cases, a trial may result in more than twice as much compensation as the Voluntary insurance standards.
So, simply, can the general public say, "Then we will fight in court?" Unfortunately, this is not very effective.Therefore, even if you do not currently entrust your case to an attorney, there is a high probability that the insurance company will offer you an amount close to the court standard because they fear that you might bring it to a "trial by failure to settle" in the future if you have an attorney. In other words, it may be possible to approach the court standard amount without a trial simply by hiring an attorney.
