A victim seeking compensation from an insurance company without the benefit of experienced legal counsel places the claimant at a distinct disadvantage in the negotiating process. Insurance companies would prefer to resolve claims with victims who have yet to consult with an attorney, and the reason for this is obvious: a dog bite victim who is represented by a an experienced law office will generally receive a more just recovery than those paid to victims who represent themselves. The claims process and the laws that guarantee the rights of injured people to be compensated for injuries caused by the negligence of others are technically complex. To assume that the legal process can be successfully navigated by persons lacking any formal legal training is a mistake that should be avoided. The Indianapolis dog bite attorney team at Keller & Keller can provide a free consultation and determine if they can help you with your dog bite case.
