Every personal injury accident is different and may involve more than one party when it’s time to settle claims. For instance, if an auto accident happens on a Rio Grande Valley highway, it can include a car, an 18-wheeler and a truck.

Multiple car accidents are considered normal in an area known to be congested with all kinds of drivers. There are delivery vans, semi-trucks, grain trucks, construction vehicles, wide load flatbeds and regular cars all sharing the same South Texas roadways. 

Our Brownsville Legal team is used to negotiating with more than one insurance company and lawyer. One thing you should know is, it is not a situation you want to handle on your own. Because if you’ve recently been in an accident and are already asking yourself ‘why is there two lawyers on my personal injury case,’ it’s already getting messy. 

Not only does it become confusing, but others can take advantage of the opportunity. Because personal injury cases with multiple parties means several entities want to walk away paying out less. And if a lawyer or insurance adjustor can distract you, they will do it. That’s why you need a personal injury lawyer who is looking out for your best interests!

Simplify Your Personal Injury by Only Speaking to One Attorney, Your Own!

From Harlingen to McAllen various types of accidents happen on our roads every day. Sometimes you’re not even in a car, you could be walking across the street . Or even out boating at the Gulf or one of our lovely lakes such as the Resaca de la Palma. Each accident has its own set of issues. If you are thinking about managing an accident alone, consider there could be something you won’t know to do. For instance, maybe you know how to request a police report in Brownsville after an accident, but do you know how to examine the evidence? And when an insurance adjustor insists the evidence proves you are primarily at fault, do you know how to fight back? Settling a claim is tricker than one might think. And if you’re juggling several claims adjustors, your chances of receiving fair compensation just dropped by half. Because as we’ve said before, an insurance adjustors job is to settle for as little as possible. And both adjustors will be working to lowball your claim. 

Are you wondering how messy a multiple car accident can get? Here’s one example of an 18-wheeler crash involving several cars on a Brownsville expressway. When a commercial truck is included in the accident, that’s another issue you don’t want to fight alone. The insurance adjustor for the trucking company might not be very cooperative. Plus, they are skilled at delaying a claim until that last moment where you have no choice but to settle. Add that to trying to work with other drivers and it’s not a pretty picture.

The simplest way to deal with two or more lawyers in a personal injury case is to contact one. The one who will fight for you and make sure your claim is settled fairly and on time!
