No, at least not without first talking to our experienced Atlantic City bicycle accident injury lawyers.
After a bike accident, you may need to contact your own insurance company to tell them what happened. That’s usually fine, so long as you stick to the facts and do not blame yourself for what happened.
However, if someone else’s insurance company contacts you and offers you money, beware. That means the insurance company thinks it owes you money because the party it sold insurance to has a legal liability to you. In calling you and offering you what seems like easy, fast money, the insurance company wants to pay you off as cheaply as possible.
Do not make the mistake of taking that money! Any amount an insurance company offers you this way will fall way short of what you need and deserve to pay for your injuries and losses. Tempting as it may seem to take the money, instead say “no, thank you” and leave the negotiations with insurance companies to an experienced Atlantic City bicycle accident injury lawyer who can get you the most money available.
