Insurance companies play a significant role in wrongful death claims, often acting as the primary source of compensation for surviving family members. However, dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, as their primary goal is to minimize payouts. This can lead to disputes over the claim's value, coverage extent, and policy language interpretation.
These companies have experienced adjusters and legal teams who protect their interests, which can disadvantage families if they aren't fully informed about their rights and options.
Moreover, insurance companies may attempt to shift blame or downplay the severity of the negligence involved in the case. This can make it difficult for families to obtain the compensation they deserve, particularly if they are not familiar with the tactics used by insurance companies to reduce payouts. In some cases, insurance companies may offer quick settlements that seem attractive in the short term but far less than the family is entitled to.
