Dealing With the Insurance Company After a Myrtle Beach Car Accident

After a car crash, one of your first calls may be to the insurance company. But before you speak with them, it's important to understand this: insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts—not to protect your rights.

Our Myrtle Beach car accident lawyers can help protect your rights after a crash.


What Insurance Companies Won't Tell You

  • You don't have to give a recorded statement

  • You don't have to accept the first offer

  • You have the right to review all medical and repair estimates

  • They may try to blame you for part of the accident to reduce payment


What You Should Do Instead

  1. Get a Free Consultation With a Lawyer
    An attorney can deal with the insurance company for you.

  2. Avoid Talking About the Accident on Social Media
    Insurers monitor your accounts.

  3. Keep Records
    Save all medical bills, pay stubs, repair invoices, and related costs.

  4. Don't Settle Too Early
    Your injuries may worsen over time. Don't accept less than you deserve.
