Don't Settle for Less: Why You Need The Car Wreck Pro Attorneys of Fox & Farmer on Your Side

After a car accident, it can be overwhelming to navigate the claims process and deal with insurance companies on your own. It's important to remember that insurance companies are for-profit businesses whose main goal is to settle claims quickly and for as little money as possible.

At Fox & Farmer, we have a team of The Car Wreck Pro Attorneys who specialize in personal injury claims and have a track record of success in helping clients receive fair settlements.

Don't leave your future to chance; call us before you settle with your insurance company.


The Problems with Settling Directly with Insurance Companies
When trying to settle a claim directly with an insurance company after a car accident, several common problems can arise.

Each year, a significant number of personal injury claims are filed in the United States - with an estimated 400,000 cases reported annually. Despite this high number, only a small percentage of these claims actually proceed to trial, with approximately 4% or 16,397 cases being taken to court. The leading cause of personal injuries is typically motor vehicle accidents, accounting for over half of all reported cases.

Here are a few examples of how insurance companies may try to take advantage of you:

  • Lowballing: Insurance companies may offer you a settlement significantly less than what you are entitled to, get you to accept a lower amount, and close the case. With legal representation, it can be easier to know if the offer you are receiving is fair.
  • Delay tactics: Insurance companies may use delay tactics, such as requesting multiple rounds of documentation or having you see their doctors, to prolong the claims process and wear you down. That can be frustrating and stressful and affect your case's strength.
  • Denying claims: Insurance companies may try to deny your claim altogether by saying that the accident was your fault or that you don't have enough evidence to prove your injuries.
  • Misrepresenting policy coverage: Insurance companies may misrepresent their coverage to deny or lowball your claims. They may use legal language in their policy that you may need help understanding and thus unknowingly accept less than you are entitled to.


By working with a personal injury lawyer, you ascertain that your rights are not violated and that you receive a fair settlement.

New Tennessee law regarding car accidents
A new law in Tennessee regarding car accidents requires individuals to gather evidence in the event of a car accident. That includes obtaining eyewitness accounts and taking pictures of the scene and any damage to the vehicles involved.

This law is a significant change from previous regulations, where the police would typically gather evidence at the accident scene. That means it is now the responsibility of the individuals involved in the accident to gather the necessary evidence to prove their case.

This new law makes it even more critical to have legal representation in the event of a car accident. A personal injury lawyer will have the knowledge and experience necessary to properly gather and preserve evidence, including eyewitness statements and photographs. They will also be able to identify other potential sources of evidence, such as security camera footage, and take the necessary steps to obtain it.
