Insurance is designed to protect you against financial loss and help pay for medical and repair costs in the event of an accident. Washington state requires that you carry at least some form of auto liability insurance in case of an accident. You agree to pay a premium for this coverage, and the insurance company agrees to pay for losses based on the type and coverage of your policy. Insurance companies are businesses however, and as such are in business to make money. This is why they have at their service many people who are there to keep their costs at a minimum. This translates into a desire to see that you are awarded as little as possible to settle your claim. Most often, this is much less than you will receive with legal representation. |
