You probably won’t have an easy task ahead of you if you have been hurt in an automobile accident and must file a claim against someone else’s insurance policy. The insurance provider will not automatically accept the sum of money you feel you are entitled to for your suffering and injuries. Instead, they will employ every strategy at their disposal to limit the amount they must pay out in response to your claim.
Read on to learn some of those tactics. Then contact Law Offices of Michael A. Kahn at (310) 209-1600 to get help from a personal injury attorney.
Delay
Insurance firms frequently work to rapidly pay their own clients, but they might not be as keen to settle claims brought forth by third parties. While replying to your correspondence or examining your case, insurance adjusters occasionally purposefully take their time, probably in the hopes that you will grow impatient and angry. Thus, even if an offer is quite cheap, you could be more inclined to take it.
Deny
The practice of looking for any rationale to dispute responsibility for your injuries is another strategy employed frequently by insurance adjusters. They might try to show that you contributed to the accident as well as their client’s fault, that the accident was not genuinely caused by their client, or that the accident was not the source of your injuries.
Diminish
Insurance companies will try to reduce the value of your claim if liability cannot be contested. They can try to make you a very meager settlement offer that barely covers your medical expenses but does nothing to address your pain and suffering.
