Is my Insurance Company on my side?
In some ways, your insurance company may have your best interest in mind. They have certain obligations by law and contract that mean you have some common interests. In other ways, your insurance company may be your adversary. An insurance company increases profit by paying less in claims, including your car accident claim. They may see your incident and resulting injury as a liability, which may lead them to make a decision or suggest a resolution that’s in their best interest. It’s an ongoing conflict of interest that they will never acknowledge.
Should I see a doctor if I didn’t suffer an injury?
Absolutely. There are enormous forces involved in a car accident that could result in serious injuries, even if you don’t feel the effects today. In addition to seeing a doctor shortly after the accident, you should watch out for symptoms of injury. Once you have sought medical attention, contact the Rowland Heights car accident lawyers at The Paris Firm to schedule a free consultation.
What injury symptoms should I be aware of?
There are many common car accident injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Look out for brain injury symptoms such as:
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Personality changes, moodiness or depression
- Fatigue
- Memory loss
- Inability to sleep/nightmares
Also look for spine injury symptoms such as:
- Short of breath
- Weakness
- Back & neck pain
- Tingling
- Pain elsewhere in the body
- Numbness
This may involve one or both limbs, certain regions of the body, or certain organs. The symptoms may also worsen with time.
Do I Need a Lawyer to Assist With My Rowland Heights Car Accident Claim?

Since consulting with the attorneys at The Paris Firm about your car accident is absolutely free, it’s better to talk to us and allow us to asses your case at no charge, than to not talk to us and potentially suffer because you didn’t have adequate representation.
Under what circumstances should I contact an attorney about my car accident claim?
You should contact an attorney about your auto accident claim when:
- You have been diagnosed with injuries and presented with a treatment plan
- You have received a settlement offer from your insurance company (see below)
- You are being pressured to give multiple statements about the accident, or you feel your claim is being handled too slowly
- You feel overwhelmed by the issues related to your car accident
My insurance company recently made me an offer. Should I accept?
When your insurance company makes you an offer, it’s usually based on a calculation of what they might have to pay for your accident – often using historical data and claims they’ve paid in the past. It’s usually at the lower end of what your accident is likely to cost in the long run, even if it seems like a lot based on your current medical bills.
