Common Tactics Insurance Companies Use to Deny Valid Claims

Insurance is meant to protect against the unknown, whether it is in the form of a car accident, theft, or natural disaster. While it is a vital mechanism to protect your interests, it is not a perfect one. Unfortunately insurance companies use many tricks and tactics to deny what may be valid claims from their clients. These are a few common tactics that insurance companies may try to employ against you:

Recorded Statements

Insurance companies devote significant time and resources to training their claims examiners. They know how to ask questions and manipulate conversations in ways that will allow them to misconstrue your statement or take it out of context to use against you later on. This allows them to deny what would be a valid claim.

Medical Examinations

Whether it is with your treating physician or personnel selected and paid for by your insurance company, claim examiners often limit the their questions to prevent the entire scope of your injury from being brought to light.

Delays

When you file a claim, you’ve already experienced an event that leaves you injured, either physically, financially, or both. Rather than coming to your aid in a timely manner, a common insurance tactic is to continually extend and delay the timeline of your claim, costing you time and money. The insurance company may even wait until you are forced to pursue legal action before entering into earnest negotiations with you.

When you have a valid claim with your insurance company, they owe it to you to honor their obligation just as you have.

Join us in our quest to help Trauma patients at St. Mike's Hospital

One of the firms' clients was involved in a terrible ATV accident that resulted in him becoming paraplegic. His doctors were unsure if he would ever walk again. Last week, three months after the accident, he was discharged from Toronto Rehabilitation Institute at Lyndhurst Centre. The progress Jeff made in just 12 weeks is truly remarkable and very inspiring.

At Neinstein & Associates we understand the importance of meaningful rehabilitation.  We are more than just a law firm we help people rebuild their lives and go home to their families. See this touching video of Jeff leaving the hospital for the first time to go home to his wife and two young kids whom he has not seen in months.

Please join us in a quest to help more patients at St. Mike's hospital by liking our page on Facebook.  Your "Like" will go a long way to ensure that a special bed is given to the Trauma Department.  Share this with your friends. Share wide. Share often.

What To Expect In A Personal Injury Trial

While many people have seen trials play out on television, few have actually been through one. If you are considering legal action, it is important to have an idea of what to expect, as the trial will likely impact your life for weeks, if not months. Watch this video to learn more about what to expect in a personal injury trial.

Once you obtain a lawyer, he or she will send the other party a letter of representation. From that point on, the other party cannot speak with you directly and must communicate through your lawyer. Your lawyer will begin negotiations with the other party and either reach a settlement or take the case to trial.
