What if the tortfeasor was untruthful or not accurate about how the incident happened?
Unfortunately, in many cases, the person or persons responsible for the incident may not tell the complete truth about the incident. It is human nature for many people to deny liability, fault or blame even in cases where negligence or wrong doing was obvious. Your lawyer has had many cases where the tortfeasors did not tell the truth about the incident. In some cases, the insurance carrier will believe their insured or the insured’s witnesses and will deny your claim. In such cases a lawsuit becomes necessary and the case will proceed to litigation and sometimes all the way to trial. In most cases, however, the truth eventually surfaces and the claim will get settled one way or the other. Your lawyer will investigate your claim in the hope of obtaining witnesses, evidence, facts and law that support the truth of how the incident happened.
