Navigating Insurance Disputes after an Auto Accident
Car accidents happen with great regularity throughout the country. In 2023 alone, there were 394,219 Florida car accidents reported for the year. No two car accidents are the same, but what is true, is that depending on how a car accident happened, one or more parties may be able to take legal action and secure financial compensation for their losses.
Filing a Florida personal injury claim is rarely easy and one of the most difficult hurdles to overcome is dealing with the insurance company. Insurance adjusters are not compassionate or concerned about a car accident victim’s experience. They are concerned about saving the insurance company that they work for money and closing claims as quickly as possible without having to pay victims.
For this reason, if you have been the victim of a car accident you should consider calling an attorney for assistance with your claim. The insurance adjuster is trained in various methods that are meant to get claimants to agree to much less than they are owed, or accept a claim denial. Insurance adjusters take advantage of naive claimants who do not know their rights or who have no real knowledge of the value of their claim and therefore are not in a position of power when it comes to settlement negotiations.
Inconsistent communication and insufficient documentation can be two factors that can lead to disagreements with the insurance adjuster or a claim denial. It is important to stay on top of a claim and to have a significant amount of evidence that supports your financial demands and backs up the damages you cite. This also helps you when you’re negotiating. If you know what a fair value for your claim is, based on your knowledge of the totality of your losses and the costs associated, you are better positioned to negotiate more skillfully. Without this information, though, it can be very difficult to come to an agreement on a settlement or it can be easy to accept one that does not account for all losses.
Valuing a claim, negotiating, and understanding your rights and your policy can be complicated. Keeping everything in order especially when you are trying to recover from your injury accident can be extremely difficult. The complexities of the claims process coupled with injuries can lead to insurance disputes that are incredibly challenging to manage. But, with the assistance of an attorney, these issues can be handled on your behalf which can minimize your stress, and help you get to an optimal resolution sooner.
