A Few Ways You Can Derail Your Insruance Claim

An injury lawyer could definitely make more money if they just told everyone to hire an attorney to help deal with their insurance companies. That attorney would be quite the exaggerator, because frankly that is not always the case. If you're in a minor fender bender you might need some tips on negotiating, but chances are you won't have a legitimate lawsuit on your hands, and thus no need to hire an injury attorney. There are still many cases where you do need to contact an injury attorney. Whether or not you hire an attorney you should know the five major errors that will RUIN your chance of getting help with medical bills, lost wages, and effectively negotiating with your insurance adjuster. First I'll address one of the more common mistakes: rushing to settle with the adjuster. Most people will have a sense of urgency to settle their case. Chances are you really need that settlement check. Between medical bills, car repairs, or the wages you lose from missing work due to injury you can end up really hurting for cash. All of this is very understandable, but you must resist the temptation to settle. The insurance company knows people are in a hurry, they deal with this stuff every day. They'll take advantage of you by giving you a low ball offer in the hopes that you'll take it. Insurance adjusters are clever. They may try tactics like calling you early in the morning, when you're on the way to work, or calling your work number near the end of the day. They think you'll be more likely to take an offer without thinking through it or asking questions if they catch you while you're in a hurry. Don't fall their ruse. You're going to have to talk to them eventually, but do it on your terms. When they reach you at an inconvenient time, reschedule for a time that works better for you, or ignore the call and get back to them at a more convenient time. You also can try turning their own tactics against them. After you decide on a settlement number you believe to be fair, call the insurance adjuster at 4:45 on a Friday afternoon. They may just accept the offer so they can go home, if they have the authority to do so. It's always a good idea to be polite, we often point out the negative aspects of dealing with insurance adjusters, but they're people too. Something else to consider is the time of year. During the holidays a lot of sudden expenses pop up. Having cash in hand can seem very appealing even if you know your owed more because you're buying presents for family and friends. The insurance companies are well aware of this. They may urge you to accept an offer so that they can "get this settled by the end of the year."." You know what is rightfully owed to you. Do not fall into their traps. Negotiating with the insurance companies is tricky. Make sure you don't commit simple mistakes that will come back to haunt you.
