After a Crash

What the insurance company
will tell you.

After a wreck, the other driver’s insurer often calls fast. They sound helpful. These are the lines I hear. I have heard versions of them since the late 1990s.

01
“We’ll give you $2,900 and pay $12,000 of your medical bills if you settle today.”

This is the biggest scam they run.

Tennessee law says your health insurance pays your bills. Health insurance gets a huge discount with providers. A $15,000 ER bill might mean health insurance pays $1,500 and the rest is contractually adjusted. Our law is clear that the injured party is entitled to be paid the full $15,000. Even after you pay back health insurance, you’ve made $13,500 on the medical bills alone.

If you fall for this trick, you just lost out on one of the biggest benefits of our law in Tennessee.

02
“We just need a quick recorded statement so we can process your claim.”

You do not have to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer. “I’m fine” or a guess about speed gets used later. In Tennessee, if they push you to 50% or more at fault, the whole claim can die.

03
“How are you feeling? You look okay / it didn’t look that bad.”

Adrenaline hides neck, back, and head injuries for days. Day-one “I’m fine” is quoted against a real injury a week later.

04
“You don’t need a lawyer for this. A lawyer will just take a cut and slow everything down.”

They say that because a lawyer changes the file. The fee comes from the recovery. Fast is their goal. Fair is yours.

05
“Let us get your medical records for you… just sign this release.”

That release lets them pull records from before the accident. You better believe they are going to search high and low for anything in your past so they can say you were already hurt.

06
“We need to move your car from the tow lot so we can save you the storage charges.”

Until they accept responsibility, you do not want them handling your car. That vehicle may be evidence in your case.

If you already said one of these things, it is not the end of the case. Call before you say the next thing.

The Difference

Why a small office wins

  1. You talk to me — not a case manager Direct access to the attorney handling your claim from day one.
  2. Selective intake, maximum effort Fewer cases means deeper preparation and stronger negotiation leverage.
  3. Nashville roots, statewide reach I know this community and will travel to meet clients wherever they need me.

“I don’t take every case. That choice is what allows me to deliver serious results.”

What I Do

Focused on car wrecks

Car wrecks are what I do. After law school in 1997 I concentrated on vehicle collisions — and for well over a decade they have been my exclusive practice area.
