Dealing with insurance companies after an accident can be complicated and frustrating. Adjusters are trained to protect the company’s bottom line, often looking for ways to reduce the payout you deserve. At Camden Law Firm, we believe it’s essential for you to understand the tactics insurance companies use, so you can protect your rights and avoid being shortchanged.
1. Shifting Fault to Another Party
Insurance companies may attempt to pin the blame for the accident on someone else, even if the evidence clearly shows otherwise. This allows them to avoid paying out your claim or reduce their responsibility.
2. Asserting That the Situation Is Not Covered
Insurers may argue that the policy you have doesn’t cover your specific situation, even when it does. They might cite policy technicalities or exclusions to justify denying your claim.
3. Claiming Your Injuries Were Pre-Existing
Another tactic is to suggest that your injuries didn’t result from the accident but were pre-existing conditions. This tactic is particularly harmful and often requires expert medical testimony to refute.
4. Downplaying the Severity of Injuries by Criticizing Medical Care
Insurance companies frequently attempt to downplay the seriousness of your injuries by questioning the quality or necessity of your medical treatment. This allows them to offer a lower settlement than what you truly deserve.
