If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident due to someone else’s negligence, misinformation can often be your biggest obstacle. Let’s clear the air on some things:
1. “I don’t need a lawyer, insurance will handle it.”
Despite what we might think, insurance companies are not your allies. Their goal is to minimize payouts, not maximize your recovery.
2. “It’s too expensive to hire a lawyer.”
At Correia & Collins, you will pay nothing out of pocket. We will be paid a percentage of your settlement.
3. “I can’t file a claim if I was partially at fault.”
In most cases, you can still recover damages even if you share some responsibility.
4. “I don’t want to go to court.”
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiation.
5. “I have plenty of time to deal with it.”
In New Brunswick, there is a general two-year “limitation period” to sue the person who caused your injury. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to compensation.
Protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve. Don’t let these common myths stand in your way.
