Energy On The Offensive #042 - Where’s Waldo?

You Can’t Rely On Law Enforcement Or Your Driver.

Responding law enforcement often does a poor job of obtaining witness statements. Your driver even if physically able, will be shook up and out of his/her element.

The Solution:

Have an independent adjuster dispatched out to the accident scene immediately. They work accidents everyday and will capture key pieces of evidence including witnesses statements.

Bonus: Have your on call defense attorney retain the independent adjuster so their findings are protected by privilege.

Success Story:

A clients driver was involved in an accident multiple states away. A motorcycle attempted to pass on the left side as the clients truck was turning left. Severe injuries are sustained. Our insurance company immediately retains defense and gets an adjuster to the live accident scene. The adjuster successfully captures a witness statement. This witness confirms left turn signal usage and the fact the motorcycle sped around her and multiple cars in front of her before crashing. The motorcyclist has retained a plaintiff attorney but with the witness statement and proactive defense preparation, we are ahead of the adversary and in a position of strength.
