Reasons Insurance Companies Deny or UnderPay Personal Injury Claims Insurance companies have long-realized that denying or underpaying personal injury cases will make their companies more profitable. There are "unwritten" strategies they use to pay less that what most people would consider fair. Injured people should NOT make it easier for insurance companies to "win" in a personal injury lawsuit. One of the biggest errors an injured person can make is providing statements about the accident WITHOUT their personal injury attorney present. The attorneys for the insurance company will use any and every statement made by an injured party against them. If You Have Been Injured .... - Do NOT provide a statement to anyone at the scene of the accident - Do NOT provide a statement to anyone at the medical facility - Do NOT provide a recorded statement to the insurance adjuster WITHOUT your attorney present - Do NOT admit fault to anyone A personal injury claim or lawsuit should be viewed as a "legal battle". Do NOT shoot yourself in the foot. Do NOT let an insurance company "steamroller" you. A personal injury lawyer will put you on an "even field" during your battle.
