Insurance Claims

• After you contact the insurance company, an adjuster is assigned to your claim. The adjuster will do an investigation to determine the full value of your claim.
• The adjuster will then offer you a settlement.This settlement is always going to be significantly less than what you are eligible to receive. The adjuster’s goal is to offer the lowest possible amount and hope that you will accept it.
• Our attorney will also conduct his own investigationsto evaluate and assess your claim’s value. We take into consideration the full value of costs for your future medical expenses, missed wages, pain and suffering, and other eligible damages.
• We negotiate with adjusters for the highest possible amount.We come prepared with the necessary medical evidence, documents and testimonies from experts to gain leverage in our negotiations.
• If negotiations fail, we take a case to trial.When insurance companies are unwilling to play fair, we are not afraid to push a case to trial. Insurance companies will try their best to avoid litigation, especially up against a firm with a proven track record like us. Litigation is not always necessary, but we prepare each case as if it will go to trial to maximize your results.

How do insurance companies handle claims?

Each claim is assigned an insurance adjuster who is in charge of assessing the claim and offering the victim a settlement. Their goal is to give you the lowest amount possible without you taking the case to court. It is important to remember that insurance adjusters are not looking out for you – they are protecting the company’s bottom lines.

In many cases, you may be entitled to an amount significantly higher than what the adjuster is offering. By talking to a qualified attorney, you can find out whether the adjuster is offering a fair amount, or whether you should take a case to court in order to get the best possible result. Unfortunately, many of the attorneys who advertise as personal injury attorneys today may not be qualified to provide good advice on this most important question.

You should always make sure the attorney you consult with has successfully obtained multiple personal injury jury verdicts and an A+ rating on ability and ethics from Martindale-Hubbell.

We take cases on a no recovery, no-fee basis. This means that your fees come out as a percentage of the final settlement at the very end.
