Beware of Insurance Representatives in Accident Claims

No matter what they say in commercials, insurance companies are neither on your side nor helping you when mayhem hits. Insurance companies are businesses where the most important thing is their bottom line. They want to collect more in premiums and pay less to the injured. That means any insurance representative, either from your insurance company or the other side will try to minimize your recovery after a crash.

Often an insurance representative will reach out to you within hours or days of an accident to take a recorded statement or make a settlement offer. You should never give a statement or talk settlement without consulting an experienced personal injury attorney.

When it comes to dealing with insurance companies after an accident, the only place where “You are in Good Hands,” is with your lawyer. At Injury Lawyers of NJ, we have over 50 years combined experience and knowledge, and we always have your best interest in mind, no matter what legal twists and turns your case may take.

Common Tactics of Insurance Companies

1. Downplaying your Injuries after a Crash

If you do not seek immediate medical treatment after a crash, the insurance company will use that gap in time to downplay your injuries. However, not all injuries are immediately apparent, such as traumatic brain injuries. To obtain a proper diagnosis, you may have to go through additional testing or medical imaging like MRIs.

Your medical treatment and record are a crucial piece of evidence in any personal injury case. A medical professional’s observations and opinions carry significant weight.

2. Pressuring you to Record a Statement

While you are obligated under your insurance policy to immediately report an incident, you do not have to give them any additional information. A claims adjuster may state that you must give them a recorded statement about what happened, and that is untrue. You do not have to give a recorded statement and should not without consulting an attorney. Ultimately, claims adjusters will twist your words to pay less on a claim or avoid paying out at all.

3. Forcing a Settlement by Delaying a Claim

Insurance exists to provide compensation to help when mayhem hits. In reality, insurance companies do everything they can to delay approving accident claims. The longer they hold on to their money the more interest they make. In addition, the longer they make you wait, the more desperate they are banking that you become. This may make you feel pressured to settle your claim for less than what your case is worth.
