Won't the Insurance Company Treat Me Fairly When It Comes Time To Settle My Claim?
The short but emphatic answer is "No." An insurance company's goal is to maximize their profits by paying as little as possible
to the victims when a claim is settled.
We all have heard the stories of the insurance adjuster showing up at an injured
persons home within hours or days of an accident offering a nominal sum of
cash to settle a claim. This is a good indicator that insurance companies
do not have your best interest at heart. Insurance adjusters are instructed
to settle claims for the lowest sum possible without regard to the actual
nature or extent of the injuries.
Our attorneys can substantiate your claim by gathering all of the pertinent
documents and necessary medical records and presenting them to the insurance
company in a forceful manner. More importantly, however, if an impasse occurs
in the negotiations, we have the power to file suit, if necessary, to protect
your rights and to secure a fair and reasonable settlement for your injuries.
