Many participants in traffic accidents, due to lack of knowledge, often miss out on the opportunity for higher compensation. It is necessary to engage experts who know and can secure the maximum compensation for you in the best possible way.
Keep in mind that insurance companies take advantage of the lack of knowledge of the injured parties by paying them only a portion of the entitled compensation, on the condition that they waive their right to claim the disputed portion of the compensation.
Many insurance agencies also engage in such practices.
But we don’t.
