HIRING UTAH CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY JAKE GUNTER TAKES THE STRESS OUT. CALL/TXT (801) 373-6345
Doing your own car accident insurance claim is like doing your own dental work. Surely you are smart, but you still shouldn’t do your own dental work. It is riddled with traps for the first timer. Handling your own Utah car accident insurance claim is a sure fire way for frustration, hidden traps and unknowns. 
Sticking with Low Offers. When you don’t have an attorney, the insurance company doesn’t fear you. You have no ability to effectively file a lawsuit and pursue your injury claim to max potential. The insurance company knows this and will just wait your out. The statute of limitations on many non-governmental car accident claims is four years for bodily injury claims.
If you don’t have an attorney, you are not taken seriously when it comes to settlement value. What are you going to do? Sue them by yourself. Your claim is devalued as a result.
UIM Exhaustion Rule. One trap is thinking you can settle your bodily injury third-party claim against the at-fault driver for under their policy limits and still make a UIM claim. You can’t. You must exhaust the liability carrier’s limits before you can make a UIM claim. This is called the “Exhaustion Rule.”
Adjuster Interviews on Disputed Liability Car Accidents. Giving an adjuster interview can be harmless on a simple, clear and obvious rear-end car collision. But not so on disputed liability case.
What you say during an adjuster interview involving a disputed liability car accident case can shape your case from day one. Resulting in an early denial by the claims adjuster. Had you been prepared with an attorney with talking point and strategies to avoid liability disputes, your entire case would have been different.
Not Understanding Proper Medical Documentation. When you are doing your own UT car accident claim, you don’t understand what proper medical documentation is and where to get it. Especially if you don’t have health insurance to pay for your injuries.
Chiro Only Case. If you have serious back injury and all you have done is treat with the chiropractor you will not receive the compensation your injuries deserve. A chiropractor is not suited for significant musculoskeletal injuries with radiating pain and bulging discs. A pain management doctor, physiatrist or orthopedic surgeon are best at documenting these types of injuries. 
Head Injury Treated by Family Doctor. Any concussion or head trauma should be diagnosed by the medical provider you see. Then you should be referred out to a proper physical therapist or neuropsychologist who can properly assess and treat your concussion. Without a psychiatrist, psychologist or medical doctor treating your head injury you will not receive fair and adequate compensation for your head injury. It simple was not documented or treated by the right type of doctor.
No Way to Pay for Medical Care. Doing nothing about your injuries is terrible for your health. Not documenting your injuries will also result in not receiving fair compensation for your injuries. An attorney can show you ways to get you r medical care provided for pending the outcome of the insurance claim.
