Motor Accident Attorneys in Philadelphia: How do we see your property?

We see your property the way you see them. When a motor accident happens, there is loss of property. You may lose the car or your dog. You might also lose your GPS monitoring device installed in your car, your wallet, or your watch. Insurance agents, who are quicker than the police detectives, will offer you a generous settlement package for the market value of your lost property. Corporations who owned the car driven by the negligent driver will also offer sums of money for you to buy a new car, new GPS monitoring system, new watch, etc. At first, the offers seem to be fair enough but you have to ask yourself this question – Is that really the value of my car? Let’s say you have a $20,000 dollar old Rolls Royce handed to you by your paternal grandfather, and that car was wrecked. The insurance company may offer you the same sum of money plus the value of accessories placed in that car. How about the consideration that the car was handed to you by an ancestor? That should have a value to. We Motor Accident Attorneys in Philadelphia see that the car has sentimental value and such value should be recovered. Of course, you have to be compensated from the moral and other damages resulting from the loss of property. We and our accountants will place value to the fact that you lost a property with sentimental value and the fact that you had sleepless nights thinking of the loss of an heirloom. Insurance agents don’t know what sentimental value is and if they do, they are bound by their contracts to ignore such.

How about your dog? Corporation agents and counsels, who are seeking settlement for the loss of your car due to their negligent drivers, will surely make fun of your claim for the value of your dog. Others may be sensitive enough and they would present you with a tabulation prepared by a dog breeder as to the value of dogs given age and sex. Is that all? How about the sentimental value you place on your pet? Can we consider this as loss of companionship? That is why you need to contact a Motor Accident Attorneys in Philadelphia and tell him what happened. A lawyer understands what sentimental value is, while insurance agents don’t. Motor accident lawyers understand what loss of companionship, but their fellow lawyers working for huge corporation don’t.
