Local news in Des Moines for January 14, 2009:
And that was just Wednesday morning.
Iowa car and truck accidents happen every day. Just look at the Iowa State Patrol Crash Reports . From their Des Moines and Newton offices, Walker, Billingsley and Bair's team of personal injury attorneys handle car and truck accident cases throughout the state of Iowa.
But they want you to know the facts before you hire an attorney.
We all know that it's likely each of us will be personally involved in a traffic accident at some point in our lives... Then why do so few Iowans understand their rights and responsibilities when they get in an accident? If you are...
...do you know your rights?
- Do you know how to protect your rights when you talk to an insurance adjuster about your injuries?
- Do you know that you do not have to sign the medical release sent to you by the insurance adjustor?
- In Iowa you have the right to bring a claim against the driver whose negligence or recklessness caused the accident?
- Iowa law provides that you may also have a claim against your own insurance company
Before you sign any documents for the insurance company, hire an attorney or make a mistake in your case, you should educate yourself by requesting our Iowa Car Accident Book at No Cost, Risk or Obligation!! Why Would Iowa Injury Attorneys Books at No Cost? The accident and injury lawyers at Walker, Billingsley and Bair have seen far too many car and truck accident cases wrecked because Iowans were not informed and made common, but damaging mistakes.
You don't want to lose your case because you don't know the law! (Iowa Law provides time limitations as short as 180 days in car accident cases) Also, whether you hire us or not, our mission is to educate Iowans about Iowa's car accident laws because we have seen firsthand how sometimes good people are treated badly by insurance companies.
Did you know?
- Just like the police, insurance adjusters are allowed to take anything you say and use it against you.
- You don't have to give a statement to the other party's insurance company, and it's usually not a good idea to give one!
- Insurance adjusters are trained to make you take the smallest money offer possible . That's just good business for the insurance company, but it's not a good deal for you.
- If your medical expenses from the accident are less than $5,000 and you don't have a permanent injury, you might be better off handling your case without hiring a lawyer .
Before you talk to the insurance adjustor, sign any forms, or hire an attorney, learn more about protecting your rights by ordering one of our free books.
