The TRUTH About Insurance Companies
When you or a family member have been injured because of negligence or carelessness, the impact can be devastating. When an insurance company (including your insurance company) refuses to honor and pay the benefits you are entitled at your most vulnerable time, the consequences can be tragic and life altering. Consumers need to know that insurance companies are a profit-seeking industry that seeks to minimize the amount it pays for each claim. If you are injured, insurance companies may not give you all of the information you deserve or are entitled to about your legal rights. They may try to get you to accept the lowest possible settlement – or no settlement at all!
Do not sign any documents presented to you by an insurance company – even your own – without first consulting an experienced attorney. The attorneys at D’Amore & Associates will work to defend YOU in a system designed to persuade injured persons not to pursue their legal rights.

Highway-Roadway Accidents
Don’t sign anything before talking to an experienced highway-roadway accident attorney.
It is an unfortunate fact that many people suffer serious injury because they have been involved in an auto accident, truck accident or motorcycle accident. Before you sign any papers presented to you by any insurance company, it is your right to seek legal advice.
You should question an insurer’s recommendation that you do not need to consult with an attorney if you have sustained serious injury or if a loved one has died as a result of an auto, truck or motorcycle accident. You could be signing away your ability to recover the cost of your medical bills, lost wages, future losses, and pain and suffering caused by the life-altering accident. You should also be aware that there is a time-frame in Oregon, Washington and California that allows your attorney to recover damages for you for car, truck or motorcycle accidents. Once this time-frame has lapsed, it may be difficult for you to recover anything.
What to do if you are in an accident
If you or a member of your family has been involved in a serious auto accident, trucking accident, or motorcycle accident, there are some steps you should take to protect your current and future ability to maximize auto insurance coverage compensation for any injuries you may have sustained. For more information about what to do if you are in an accident, read our FAQ.
It is important to understand that insurance companies place their financial interests above your interest. Auto accident insurance companies have teams of professionals and lawyers working to protect them from paying large settlements in spinal cord injury, neck injury, back injury, brain injury, and wrongful death cases. Shouldn’t you have an experienced auto accident lawyer that understands auto insurance coverage issues working to protect your right to compensation for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering?
