Suffering an injury at the hands of another is never easy to deal with. This is especially if you decide to file a lawsuit. Yet many people that we represent tell us that they feel awkward suing someone personally for damages. Fear not. In almost all cases, the insurance company for the wrongdoer is paying for his or her attorney, in addition to any damages caused by their negligent acts as part of the insurance agreement with the wrongdoer. Whether it is through auto insurance, homeowners insurance, or renters insurance, almost all claims are paid and defended by the insurance company.

The Insurance Company Pays for the Attorney and Damages

The insurance company will appoint an attorney for the wrongdoer, defend the claim and pay the settlement or judgment. While the lawsuit has to be in the name of the individual wrongdoer, this is a legal formality only. And, the individuals are not the ones paying for your injuries or damages. So now you know. In almost every case we handle, the insurance company, and not the individual wrongdoer, pays all of the damages. However, just to be on the safe side, it may be better to take a personal injury protection coverage. If you’re not sure where to look for them, TruStage Insurance may be able to direct you to the appropriate insurance coverage. More information on them can be found here.
