Insurance Issues
Insurance companies are there to provide peace of mind. You assume the company you have trusted to cover you will be there when you really need them and that the policy you have chosen will protect you financially. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
The Fayetteville accident lawyers at Hewitt & Salvatore represent accident victims to ensure insurance companies pay out fair settlements. If you have been injured and you need money to cover medical bills, lost income, property damage, and other time-sensitive expenses, please contact our West Virginia personal injury attorneys to discuss your compensation potential.
Here are some general tips to keep in mind:
Some Insurance Companies Practice Bad Faith
“Bad faith” is a legal term used to refer to a practice of insurance companies that is all too common today. An insurance company may be guilty of exhibiting bad faith if they fail to honor the terms of your insurance policy (a binding contract). If you suspect your insurance company is manipulating you and ignoring your policy, our bad faith lawyers can help you prove the company is disregarding your rights.
Be Wary of Insurance Adjusters
An accident lawyer has years of experience dealing with insurance adjusters. We can speak to them on your behalf and represent you, making sure your rights are being respected during the settlement process.
Never Accept a Settlement without Consulting an Attorney
Accepting a settlement may mean you are selling yourself short. There could be future accident-related expenses that you have overlooked, and the insurance company may be underestimating the amount the accident is costing you.
Don’t Divulge Information
Whatever you say to insurance representatives or adjusters could be used against you to withhold settlement money. Once we take on an accident case, we usually recommend the accident victims let our West Virginia accident lawyers handle all of the communication with insurance companies.
If you give a statement, be sure it is record so there can be no intentional or unintentional misrepresentation of your accident situation.
Remember this: No matter how compassionate the marketing materials, advertising, or representatives may appear to be, insurance companies are in business to make money, not take care of you. If you want to show the insurance companies you are serious, hire an experienced attorney to work as an advocate for you and represent your best interests.
