subject: Seattle Accident Attorney - Common Insurance Strategies [print this page] Hoping to provide everybody the resources and knowledge to know how to fight their personal injury lawsuit, Seattle car accident attorney Jason Epstein continues his series of answers to frequently asked questions. In this article, Jason talks about different tactics used by car insurance companies to deny or lower your claim.
There are numerous strategies employed by the insurance companies to prevent you from receiving the amount of money you deserve for your claim. The top 5 are listed below:
1.) Quickie Low Ball Settlement: Insurance companies will try to offer you a quick and cheap settlement right after your claim. Do not blindly accept. Consult a personal injury attorney
2.) Recorded Statement: Your insurance company will likely call you and ask if you will agree to a recorded statement. Again, do not agree to this. Find an attorney to represent you.
3.) Records Release and Review: A claims adjuster will ask you to release your medical records so a specialist can review them. This specialist makes a lot of money from the insurance company, and will find a way to deny your claim.
4.) Independent Medical Examination: An insurance company will have you undergo an "independent" examination from a doctor whose job is basically to side with the insurance companies. It is by no means "independent."
5.) Secret Surveillance: If you have a big medical claim, it is very likely that the insurance company you are fighting will spy on you with a video camera. They do this to try and find you doing things that your claim would normally prevent.
It is important to me as an attorney to make sure that everyobody is aware of these different strategies that insurance companies use, so you can be properly protected. If you have any question as to whether or not these tactics are being used on you, make sure that at the very least, you get a free consultation from a personal injury lawyer.
