The Truth About Insurance Company Tactics
There's something I've been meaning to tell you, especially if you're trying to deal with your insurance company on recovering. This may sound miserable, but when an insurance company’s rationale for waiting on another company is, “it was the other guy’s fault” in car accident cases, it is simply not true. Motorists must remember that you have paid your insurance company a premium for service, and a denial of service is just wrong.
You may not be at fault, and your insurance company does understand that, but they are not off the hook because of this! They have the capacity to work with other insurance companies to get your claim moving faster, and it is necessary that you demand this. Hold your own insurance company to a standard that you deserve! Here's the most common things that you can expect to deal with when fighting with these snake-like companies....
- Deliberate Delay: Insurance companies may take their time with your claim and your money because they know that you are often in a financial squeeze. This keeps money in their pockets, and out of yours!
- Requesting Unnecessary Information: Insurance companies often request unnecessary information in order to “evaluate your claim.” This practice often is meant to delay your payout so that they are able to accumulate interest on their money.
- Disputing Medical Treatment: Adjusters do not have the medical knowledge to know what the right medical treatment is for your case. Do not let them tell you where you are in your treatment or if you should have recovered by now.
- Misrepresenting Insurance Benefits: Make sure you get the cold hard facts about your policy and benefits when dealing with your insurance company.
- Acting Like Your Friend and Making False Promises: Watch out for the adjuster that befriends you and promises to pay your medical bills. This is a tactic to stop you from hiring a lawyer.
