Why You Should Never Handle Your Own Insurance Claim After an Accident

Video Transcript

For the same reason why I don’t perform my own surgery, or for the same reason why I don’t make my own clothes. I have no idea what I’m doing. A lot of people think that the insurance company is there to help you through some of the toughest times in your life. They pay Patrick Mahomes a lot of money to tell you that they’re good neighbors, and they produce funny commercials with talking green lizards to try and make you think that working with an insurance company is easy and painless. It is not. Especially if you are holding their feet to the fire to do what is right. A lot of times people tell me about how they try to handle their claim themselves, only to later realize they needed help. Other times, people brag about how good a result they got, handling their claim themselves. I cringe when I hear those stories, knowing that very likely they were taken advantage of. That old saying, people who represent themselves have a fool for a client, is unfortunately very true. Even if you think you can work with the insurance company yourself, take advantage of a free consultation with the Goings Law Firm to double-check and make sure everything is being handled properly.
