At the Law Offices of Jon Friedman, our Oregon car accident attorneys know that most individuals initially attempt to handle their insurance claims alone. This is often because they believe the insurance company will do the right thing and pay for the damages its policyholder is liable for after a crash.
In many cases, they later realize the complexity of the process, encounter challenges, or feel that they are not being adequately compensated.
Here are some reasons to consider partnering with a car accident attorney after filing a claim independently.
Why Partner with an Oregon Car Accident Attorney After Being Injured in a Traffic Collision

As long as you have not accepted a settlement check from the insurance company from your initial claim, or signed a release of your claim, our Oregon car accident attorneys can help by:
- Reviewing and Strengthening Your Claim
Our car accident attorneys can review your claim to identify areas that can be strengthened. We can gather additional evidence, consult experts, and ensure all relevant information is presented for a more comprehensive claim.
