You Are At War With the Other Person’s Insurance Company—Not the Person Who Caused the Car Accident

I find that most people are honest, and if they make a mistake while driving, and cause someone harm, they’ll own up to that mistake and do what’s right.  After all, that’s why we have car insurance.  We pay the premium, and the insurance company promises to pay money for harms and losses we cause to other people if the car accident is our fault.

In theory that sounds great, but that’s not what actually happens in real life.  When we buy car insurance, we sign a contract with the insurance company that says we are bound to “cooperate” with the insurance company, and if we do not “cooperate,” then the insurance company does not have to protect us from a claim even though we paid the premium for coverage.  Here’s the catch—in my experience, insurance companies deny responsibility even when it’s obvious that their insured caused the accident.  “Cooperate” to the insurance company means they require the person that caused the accident to deny responsibility even though that person knows they made a mistake and caused the accident.  If the other driver does not “cooperate” with their insurance company, then the insurance company does not have to pay on the claim and the driver is personally responsible.

So when you’re going through this process, and you are treated in what you may think is an outrageous manner, it’s important to remember it’s the other driver’s insurance company, and not the person who caused the accident, that is treating you that way.

Hire the Right Lawyer

You must hire a  car accident lawyer who has experience fighting against the insurance industry’s sucker punch approach and has demonstrated proven results.  Here’s what one client, Richard Myers, an international model, had to say, “

“I was injured in a car accident. Michael Dippolito came as a recommendation from a friend. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable that my case would be handled properly. Michael exuded the confidence and knowledge you expect. He was very professional, reliable, informative and patient. Michael always had the time to discuss and explain in detail my case to me, step by step as it moved along. We won the case. I highly recommend Michael and would hire him again”.

Below is a case that we handled that demonstrates how the insurance company tried to use the sucker punch approach on one of our clients and how we were able to make sure that didn’t happen.

$125,000 Broken Collar Bone

Client was a passenger in a car driven by his friend when his friend lost control and hit a tree.  Client had a broken collar bone that healed without surgery.  At the time of the accident, client was a minor and his father was trying the settle the case on his behalf.  After a long negotiation process, the insurance company assured the father $10,000 was a fair amount for his son’s broken collar bone.  “You don’t need a lawyer, dad, you’re doing a great job.”  After all, the insurance company wouldn’t try to take advantage of a child, right?  The father was just about to settle his son’s case for that amount, when he asked us to take a look at his case to make sure the insurance company was telling the truth.  We evaluated the case and told the father $10,000 was not close to what his son’s case was worth.  We agreed to represent his son and to charge an attorney fee only on any amount over the $10,000 insurance company settlement offer.  After investigating and evaluating the case, we were able to settle the case for $125,000, more than ten times what the insurance company told the father the case was worth.
