Beware of Insurance Companies

After a car accident in which you are injured, you will likely be contacted by the other driver's insurance company and offered a settlement. It is wise to remember that insurance companies are always looking to settle a case for as little money as possible, as they are looking after their own bottom line. It is always recommended to consult with an experienced attorney prior to agreeing on any settlement.

At Burke & Handley, we can review the specifics of your auto accident to determine if you are being offered a fair settlement or if you are entitled to greater compensation. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, disability, and other damages. We are experienced in determining and securing a fair settlement for auto accident victims. In cases where a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are highly skilled at achieving successful resolutions through litigation.
