Insurance companies may employ one or more of the following tactics to limit your benefits:
Offer you a settlement that does not reflect the true extent of your damages
Pressure you into settling before consulting with an attorney
Pressure you into signing waivers, statements, or releases which limit your ability to recover future compensation
Shift fault for the accident to you in order to reduce or deny a claim
If you suspect you’re being treated unfairly, a free consultation with a bad faith insurance lawyer can help advise your actions (the first piece of advice: don’t sign anything until it’s reviewed by an attorney).
Hiring an experienced lawyer to handle the insurance negotiations can increase your compensation to full and fair coverage.
