It is very common in a highway construction site case for the insurance adjuster to argue that your injury was caused by comparative negligence (fault by you in contributing to your injury). Highway construction site accident claims are often handled by auto accident adjusters with no training from the insurance company on highway construction safety statutes and regulations. The insurance company adjuster may not have conducted any investigation on how events unfolded or what caused the resulting construction site accident. Our law firm is trained in how to investigate highway construction site accidents, and how insurance companies value cases. We use software to determine if the amount offered in your personal injury case or personal injury lawsuit is fair and reasonable. We will always give you an evaluation that is in your best interests. Some of the most common insurance company tactics that we see are:

‍

• Blaming accident victims for their own injuries
• Hiding evidence about the at-fault motorist, truck driver or insurance company
• Reducing the value of personal injury or wrongful death by misinterpreting medical records
• Denying the severe injuries are related to the crash or road design
• Making low settlement offers for pre-existing or age-related factors in personal injury cases
• Delaying claims as long as possible until you must accept a low settlement offer
• Making lowball settlement offers to reduce the amount you think is reasonable
• Telling personal injury victims they do not need to hire a lawyer
