Fortunately for victims of personal injury, the law in Oregon favors victims over perpetrators. Victims are entitled to fair compensation--as long as they know enough to fight for it. Unfortunately, insurance companies are pros at convincing many victims to settle immediately.
We believe that insurance adjusters are encouraged to keep their claims low so that the company pays out as little as possible. Their tactic is to find you at the earliest point after the accident when, while on pain medication, you might not feel too bad. The problem with pain medication is that it's not a cure for your pain. Instead, it only masks it.
This means that when you stop taking it, any injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and the like will then become obvious.
Some insurance companies want to get out of the picture early, before these lingering injuries become obvious. At Peterson Law Offices, we've observed this pattern of unfair play for the many years that we've been working with personal injury clients. The long-term health of your back, brain, neck, and other vital body parts is too important to trust to an insurance company--even your own.
At Peterson Law Offices, we'll make sure you get examined by an expert, so you know what sort of recovery to expect. We will then work with the insurance companies on your behalf to gain exactly what you have coming to you. For more information, read the testimonials here on our website. Then simply give us a call at 503-280-0888 to get started.
