Insurance Claims

It’s a fact; Insurance companies like to keep their money. It’s understandable. They are a business after all and are accountable to their shareholders to be profitable. They have skilled lawyers and negotiators to minimize their losses when they are called upon to fulfill an insurance claim. When insurance companies should pay fair compensation, our personal injury lawyers get to work and make them pay.

Because we deal with so many different injury cases and have more than 30 years’ experience dealing with a wide variety of insurance companies, we’ve learned their tricks and strategies and have developed a few of our own. We even have lawyers and staff who have previously worked for the insurance side.

In most cases, it is the negligent party’s insurance company that is the bad guy, but not always. Sometimes your own insurance company might be playing games when they are the ones that are supposed to pay. For example, take underinsured motorists’ coverage; It’s a good idea to get it if you don’t, because it will pay for medical expenses that exceed the limits of the negligent party’s coverage. Read a short article about the importance of having underinsured coverage here.

Providing you with legal representation allows us to battle the insurance companies for you, taking away their strategies of delays, double-talk, blame-shifting and more.
