Insurance Providers Want To Pay Out As Little As Possible

Insurance companies are businesses that seek to make a profit. Understanding how they work is essential if you are to get the most out of an insurance settlement. They know that in many cases they will be required to provide a financial settlement offer to an injured party. However, they will often aggressively seek to pay out as little as possible. Many of our clients are shocked when their very own insurance provider gives them a financial settlement offer falls far below their family’s needs in the aftermath of an accident.

Do not let a low settlement offer discourage you. The insurance company is just trying to get your case to end quickly and with as little expense as possible. However, our skilled injury lawyers consider low settlement offers as only the beginning to the negotiation process. The lawyers representing the insurance company are looking out for the company’s financial well being. Having experienced legal counsel working for you can help make sure that your settlement is enough to address your needs. The most important thing to hire a knowledgeable lawyer, and to not give up hope for a fair settlement.

How A Lawyer Can Help You Secure A Fair Insurance Settlement

Getting the most out of an insurance settlement offer requires building a strong case for your damages. This allows the insurance company to know that you understand the costs of your injuries, and that you require them to pay their fair share. When a skilled lawyer represents an accident victim, the insurance companies involved realize that they can’t end the case without paying reasonable compensation to the injured party. The last thing that an insurance company wants is to spend time at trial only to lose and be ordered to pay a huge sum in damages.

The legal team at Contact Randall & Stump, Criminal Defense Attorneys have negotiated with many insurance companies while representing our injured clients. Every injury victim seeking compensation must be able to show the damages that they sustained in their accident. Clearly demonstrating damages will make the insurance providers understand that we are able to take your claim to court if a fair settlement is not paid. While every case is different, some of the things we do to build a strong case for our clients include:

• Work closely with medical professionals – Getting a reasonable settlement offer requires proving the extent of the victim’s damages. Your lawyer must work with your doctors to fully understand the medical attention you require and the long term costs of your treatment.
• Review witness statements – Witnesses who saw your accident or witnessed negligence on behalf of the other party can be very informative. Their statements can help your lawyer illustrate what happened and who holds responsibility.
• Study the scene of an accident – The location of an accident can yield valuable clues about how one or several parties acted negligently and caused harm to an unsuspecting victim. This can be highly technical and requires skilled legal counsel.
• Demonstrate a victim’s limited ability to earn a living – Many accident victims cannot return to work for a long time after being hurt, and it can become impossible to pay normal daily expenses. Your lawyer must show how an insurance settlement needs to secure your finances while you recover from your injuries.
