Auto Claim Disputes

Insurance companies make money by collecting premiums, not by paying auto insurance claims. A car accident that causes physical injury can lead to thousands, or hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical costs, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and other expenses. With so much on the line, an insurance company may stop being friendly and start looking for ways to deny you what you deserve.

An insurance company has several advantages over an injured person. These companies handle numerous claims, and they know what a claim is likely worth. If they can get you to agree to accept less by offering you a lump sum, get you to file health insurance claims instead, make the accident look like it was your fault, or deny the extent of your injuries and the pain that accompanies them, the insurance company will consider that a win. If your medical bills end up exceeding the money you accepted from insurance, you will be stuck paying the difference.
