Myths about a Personal Injury Case in Kansas

If you’ve ever been in a Wichita auto accident before, it’s probably a scary time for you. Friends and family are all passing along words of advice on how to handle your property damage claim, which attorney you should hire and many other tidbits of information about your personal injury case. What is true and what is a misconception? Here’s the breakdown of common myths after a car accident.

• The insurance will be nice and give you a sensible offer if you contact them being polite and reasonable.
• You must give your insurance company a recorded statement for them to offer you a settlement.
• Every personal injury attorney in Kansas will handle your case with the same ability, tools and experience.
• The driver at fault’s insurance company won’t delay your payment and will pay medical bills as they come due.
• All attorneys charge the same fees.
• Having a personal injury claim is a ticket to riches.

A lot of these myths sound unfair, and they really are. But the insurance company doesn’t play fair and it doesn’t change the fact that the insurance will try to settle your claim for forty cents on the dollar. The best way to start a successful journey to getting the compensation your claim is worth in, is by shopping around for the right attorney.
