Should You Talk to the Insurance Company?
No. You may believe you should try to work with the insurance company before looking for a motorcycle accident lawyer in South Carolina. Unfortunately, talking to the insurance company often does more harm to your case than good.
Claims adjusters don’t look out for your interests. Whether they pressure you to accept a quick settlement or attempt to get you to admit to a degree of fault, their job is to keep as much money with the company as possible.

Our team would be able to conduct a thorough, independent investigation, gathering evidence and testimonies to substantiate your claim and determine a fair settlement amount.
We can talk to the insurance companies on your behalf. Our attorneys at Bringardner Injury Law Firm have a reputation among the law community as skilled negotiators, and because the insurance companies know we have no issue taking a claim to trial if necessary, they are often invested in the negotiation process.
You can count on us to provide honest legal counsel about whether the offer is just. If you decide to pursue a lawsuit, we will continue representing and assisting you through the trial proceedings.
