The third largest city in Missouri, there are thousands of vehicle accidents in and around the Springfield area each year. Sadly, some of these accidents result in serious harm to the persons involved. If you have been seriously injured in an auto accident, you will likely be hearing from the other driver’s insurance company soon.
There are many reasons it would be best to consult with an attorney before speaking with the other party’s insurance company. “We typically advise you not to talk to the other party’s insurance company until you talk to an attorney first,” said personal injury attorney Mike Wyatt of the Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys in Springfield.
The other insurance company is trying to obtain information to help their case rather than yours, and they are trained to ask questions that might imply fault on your part. According to Wyatt, “The insurance adjustors often ask very nicely if they can take a statement. They will try to develop a good rapport early on, but this is what they’re trained to do. They’re trying to obtain information that will hurt your case.”
