Auto Accidents
Since nobody ever thinks they'll be involved in an accident, it's common that people aren't prepared when it does occur.
Let me tell you about a case here recently.
A mother and son were rear-ended in an auto accident and injured.
Not knowing any better, the mother talked to the insurance adjuster without any representation. The insurance adjuster offered her money for treatment and to settle the case.
The mom felt like this was normal and accepted the offer - before even seeing a Doctor!.
A few weeks later the mother and son have been allowed very little treatment (very restrictive clauses in the agreement) and now have to pay out of their own pocket to finish resolving their injuries when of course insurance should have covered them!
