Can you change specialist traffic accident lawyers once they have been assigned to you by the insurance company?
The answer to the question of whether you can change specialist traffic accident lawyers once one has been assigned to you is yes, but in this article we will detail the reasons and the law that protects you.
One of the main concerns when facing a trial or negotiation resulting from a traffic accident can be the trust you have in your own lawyer , since, as is known, depending on the event, insurance companies assign you a lawyer you don't know and you don't know if they can really be the right person to handle your case and therefore the compensation scale is too closely tied to the insurance company that hires them.
These companies often prioritize their own interests over helping the user after an accident. That's why they resort to these tactics, intimidating people by claiming it's impossible to change lawyers and even threatening to prevent them from filing a claim for compensation .
Of course , we're not saying that the assigned professional isn't a great specialist in traffic accidents —quite the opposite—but one of the most important and fundamental things when facing a problem like this is trust, or what's also known as rapport . If you don't have that trust with your lawyer, you're very likely to experience greater stress when dealing with the case you're involved in.
Our intention, as specialist traffic accident lawyers in Barcelona with hundreds of resolved cases, is to inform you that you have the full right to request a change of lawyer and you are not at all obliged to work with the one designated by the company.
For this reason we have created this article and video, because from our law firm we want you to know that you have the fundamental right to change your lawyer, even if the one assigned to you by the insurance company, and choose the traffic accident lawyer that best suits your needs.
You are completely free to select the specialist traffic accident lawyers that best suit your interests and try to obtain the highest possible compensation.
At Andreu Asociados, we have been specialist lawyers in Barcelona for over 30 years and have dealt with all types of clients with various injuries from traffic accidents. That is why we perfectly understand the feeling of insecurity and fear that can arise from not knowing or not feeling comfortable with the person selected to represent you.
A car accident lawyer must be approachable, friendly, and realistic, since the person on the other end is not only seeking compensation for the accident , but often also justice for the tragedy they have suffered. That's why it's vitally important that the traffic lawyer be a good fit for the client and that they have the strongest possible rapport.
Our lawyers know for certain that this is the first step —being supportive—after someone has suffered an accident. We will work to obtain the compensation you deserve; our years of experience guarantee this. We will conduct a completely realistic assessment of the damages and work to secure the maximum possible compensation. Furthermore, we have no ties to any insurance company that would prevent us from doing our job to the best of our ability.
Since we have received this same question many times at our office, our specialist traffic accident lawyer, Jorge Andreu, discusses the topic in the following video:
Remember that this right applies to everything from the most serious traffic accident to the most common whiplash injury , as it is a right that protects you. Therefore, do not let your insurance company intimidate you or even threaten you with receiving less compensation for your traffic accident than you are entitled to, since, as you have seen, it is your free choice to continue with the appointed lawyer or to change to a lawyer of your own choosing.
