When you are recovering after a car accident, a personal injury lawyer Racine, WI trusts knows that one of the most difficult parts of recovery can be trying to get fair compensation. This is made more difficult because of insurance agents and insurance companies trying to keep their bottom line as low as possible. Understandably, after an accident, one of your top concerns is likely about whether you will be able to pay your medical bills or what you will do if you are unable to go back to work right away. The attorneys at Hickey & Turim, SC can help you.
What happens with insurance agents after a car accident?
After any kind of a personal injury accident, it can seem like the bad news keeps piling on. Car accidents can feel even more personal because another person was physically on the scene of the accident that caused you to become injured. When you are dealing with all of this, you do not want to be harassed by insurance agents. A Racine, Wisconsin personal injury lawyer knows that after a car accident, the last thing you need is to talk with insurance agents. When they continue to call you, this is what you can do:
- Avoid getting upset. When you are recovering, you do not want to relive your car accident details over and over again. However, try to remain as polite as possible when you are on the phone.
- Be wary of providing personal information. Insurance agents may try to sneak as much information out of you as possible. The more they know about your finances and what happened during the accident, the more they can turn this information against you. You should provide the bare minimum by giving them your name and contact information.
- Avoid talking about your injuries. The insurance agent will try to be as nice as possible and ask how you are healing or how your injuries are doing. However, most of these conversations will be recorded and anything you say or leave out could be used to harm your claim. Tell the adjuster you want your attorney to speak to them on your behalf and politely get off the phone.
Getting into an accident can seem like a never-ending, difficult time. Don’t let insurance companies ruin this for you even more. Leave the insurance companies to your attorney.

In my opinion, 5 stars isn’t enough for this firm!!
I was very apprehensive about contacting a lawyer for my workmen’s comp. claim. I’ve never had any good experience in the lawyer department. But thanks to Joshua Turim, I have new found gratitude! To say he went above and beyond for me is an understatement. Anytime I contacted him, he answered me lightning fast. Even though my claim wasn’t a huge amount, he still went out of his way to get me what I deserved. If anyone you know needs a great lawyer, Josh and his firm is the place to call!!

Josh made my workers' compensation claim move along with apparent ease and kept the atmosphere casual, yet composed.
He settled my case after many months of preparation and ultimate negotiation, keeping me informed along the way. He knew what I expected for an outcome, and explained every detail in laymen’s terms. Josh took all the time necessary to explain the process. I never felt like I didn’t understand. I recommend Josh to anyone looking to resolve a workers’ compensation claim without additional strain.

I can’t speak highly enough for the work Joshua Turim and his Law firm did for me.
I found him from the Yellow Pages and after consulting with several other of his peers I hired Josh. The fit was right. He’s been my counsel for nearly 5 years now. My case was not an easy one. Workers’ Comp moves slow and methodical. Believe me, I’m thankful I had a professional who is very experienced and knowledgeable about the system on my side. We’ve reached a very good settlement and I know I can continue to count on Joshua Turim should any need arise.
Thanks Josh.
