Insurance companies can be difficult to deal with. Your friendly local insurance agent that sold you your policy has very little input concerning any claim you have to make. Insurance companies use attorneys, specially trained employees called adjustors or claims managers and investigators to make sure that the insurance company pays you as little as possible on your claim.
You need a professional looking out for you. I have spent more than 30 years helping people deal with insurance companies. My advice has always been that you should not trust an insurance company any further than you could throw their office building. An insurance company does not act in your best interest. An insurance company always acts in its own best interest.
Let me protect you in dealing with your insurance claim.
Here are some of the situations that I can help you with in dealing with an insurance company:
- Car crashes;
- Fire, hail, wind or other damage to your house;
- Denial of medical expenses by health insurance
- Denial of nursing home expenses or in-home care expense by long term care insurance; and
- Denial of disability benefits by private disability insurance.
CAR CRASHES: There are three basic issues: 1. Property Damage; 2. No-Fault Benefits: medical expenses/wage loss benefits; and 3. Personal Injury Claims. I now offer low contingent fees on select car crash claims. Get more information here.
1. Property Damage: If you are involved in a crash and your car is damaged or destroyed, the person that caused the crash is responsible for paying for the damage. If your insurance coverage includes damage to your car it is often simpler to accept a payment from your insurance and allow your insurance to pursue re-payment from the other driver. If you do not have property damage coverage then you must make a claim against the other driver and deal with the driver’s insurance company. Often it is difficult to find an attorney to help with property damage claims. The cost of using an attorney that charges by the hour may be more than what you can expect to recover. That has never seemed fair to me. You should not be left to deal with an insurance company just because attorneys charge high hourly rates.
