Why Insurance Companies Fight Your Claim
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses. Their goal is to pay as little as possible on every claim, even when their policyholder is clearly at fault. Common tactics insurers use include:
- Delaying the process – Hoping you’ll give up or accept a low offer out of desperation
- Lowball offers – Making quick settlement offers that don’t cover your full damages
- Disputing liability – Claiming you were partially or fully at fault for the accident
- Minimizing injuries – Arguing your injuries aren’t as serious as claimed
- Surveillance – Monitoring your activities to undermine your claim
- Requesting recorded statements – Using your words against you
Having an experienced personal injury attorney protects you from these tactics. We handle all communications with insurance companies, so you never have to worry about saying the wrong thing or accepting less than you deserve.
What to Do After an Injury
The steps you take immediately after an accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation:
1. Seek Medical Attention
Your health comes first. Get immediate medical care, even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured. Some injuries have delayed symptoms.
4. Preserve Evidence
Keep damaged clothing, equipment, or other items. Don’t repair property damage until it’s been documented.
2. Report the Incident
Call police for accidents. Report falls or injuries to property owners. Create an official record of what happened.
5. Avoid Social Media
Don’t post about your accident or injuries online. Insurance companies monitor social media to find information to use against you.
3. Document Everything
Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any damage. Get witness names and contact information.
6. Contact an Attorney
Speak with a personal injury lawyer before talking to insurance companies. We protect your rights from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fees come from the settlement or verdict we recover for you. There are no upfront costs, and if we don’t win, you don’t pay us anything.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
In Florida and Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some cases have shorter deadlines. It’s crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Both Florida and Georgia follow comparative negligence rules. You can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, though your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re 50% or more at fault, you may be barred from recovery.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months, while complex cases may take a year or more. We work efficiently while ensuring we secure maximum compensation. We’ll never rush you into a settlement that doesn’t fully compensate you for your injuries.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
No. Insurance companies often make quick, lowball offers hoping you’ll accept before you know the full extent of your injuries and damages. Always consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
What if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?
We explore all potential sources of recovery, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, business insurance policies, and personal assets of the at-fault party.
