What Are the Risks of Contacting Insurance Companies First?

Video: Watch Florida personal injury attorney Phil Snyder discuss one of the biggest mistakes people make after an accident: contacting the insurance company before speaking with an attorney. This common misstep can significantly impact your ability to recover damages, especially in a state like Florida, where personal injury laws present unique challenges.

Florida does not require drivers to carry bodily injury insurance, meaning many drivers involved in accidents may lack the coverage needed to compensate for injuries they cause. Attorney Snyder explains that this makes it crucial for drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage, which can step in when the at-fault party lacks adequate insurance. However, even with the right coverage, dealing with insurance companies directly can jeopardize your case.

As Attorney Snyder points out, insurance companies are not your allies—they’re focused on minimizing payouts and protecting their bottom line. When you contact them without legal representation, you risk saying something that could be used against you later. That’s why Attorney Snyder urges accident victims to consult an attorney first. At Lyons & Snyder, the initial consultation is free, allowing you to get expert advice and start building your case from day one.
