Two Injury Claims = Zero Injury Claims

There is some craziness in the universe that makes things happen in bunches. You might go your whole life without an auto accident and then BAM/BAM you have TWO within a few months of each other.

If you have injury claims related to both impacts, you are in for a world of hurt. Each of the accidents can be used by the other insurance company as a red herring to detract from your claim value. The first folks will say the second one cut off their liability, and the second one will say your injuries were related to the first one! It just sucks.

Depending on the facts, we might be able to help minimize the negative impact of having two claims so close together. But we can’t if you don’t let us!

If you are in this situation, get the advice of an experienced attorney. Call me at 919-929-2992.
