This is something else that I encounter from time to time. Prior to obtaining a lawyer, the client demands money, usually at the scene of the accident, from the other driver. The other driver in turn tells this to their insurance company. This is a “red flag” sort of thing and makes the client seem particularly litigious and, in my view, is just not good. I highly recommend against this sort of communication as, from a court perspective, if it comes into evidence, this could make a jury very wary of the case and from the claim stage perspective, it puts a “red flag” on the file and very well may result in a more difficult claims process.
If you have been in an accident and you believe the other car was at fault, please call Drucker Law Offices for a consultation at 561-483-9199 (Boca Raton – Main office) or 954-755-2120 (Coral Springs – satellite office), 561-967-3840 (Lake Worth – satellite office) or 305-981-1561 (Miami – satellite office). This law firm works on a contingency fee basis and this means that fees are only charged if this law firm recovers money for you following an accident. I offer a free consultation at your home, at the hospital or at one of the law firm’s conveniently located offices through the tri-county area.
