The best thing you can do when you need to collect on a settlement is have a skilled lawyer for managing insurance claims. Your insurance company is going to do everything they possibly can to avoid paying your claim, no matter how legitimate it is. Insurance companies are for-profit corporations, and their number one goal is to keep as much money in their pocket as they can. Insurance companies will do everything they can do avoid litigation, so they will offer you a low settlement in the hopes that you will take it, thinking you don’t have any other choice.

If you’re like most people, you don’t have the energy, time or resources to endure the often lengthy and exhausting process of managing your claim from start to finish. Insurance companies know this, and will often offer you the lowest payout they think you are likely to accept. Because of this, having a highly skilled and experienced lawyer to manage your claim is vital to getting the settlement you deserve.

Who you’re really talking to when you file a claim

You may not be aware that when you call your insurance company to file a claim, you’re not always contacting your insurance company. Most of the time, you’re contacting an organization that has been contracted by your insurance company to handle claims on their behalf.

How an insurance claim is managed by your lawyer

When managing insurance claims, your lawyer will have an effective strategy that will cut costs, time, and get you as much of your settlement as possible.

Your lawyer will first determine if your claim is valid, make a determination about the value of your claim, and then find out what the insurance company will pay. If your insurance company doesn’t want to pay what your claim is worth, your lawyer will fight for you and get you a better payout. This is the advantage to working with a skilled lawyer when managing insurance claims. The insurance company knows they can’t get away with much when they are talking to an experienced lawyer.

What people expect from an insurance company

People expect an insurance company to settle claims fast and to their satisfaction. Insurance companies know that the more they settle claims to the satisfaction of their customers, the better reputation they will have. It’s a good reputation that gives the insurance company a competitive edge on their competition.

Also, the faster an insurance company settles a claim, the less complaints they will receive, which again, boosts their reputation. If the claim settlement is delayed it will end up costing the insurance company more money. This is another reason it is imperative to obtain professional legal help in managing your claim. An insurance company won’t be able to get away with lowballing your payout when a skilled lawyer is fighting for you.

The short answer is yes, you should care because it’s going to affect the statute of limitations on your claim. It’s important to define what a political subdivision is that way, you know where your claim lies.

A subdivision is city, county, villages, schools, certain administrative agencies. All those are treated under the act differently.

That depends on you, specifically in regards to the length of time it takes for your injuries to improve, how long it takes to get to a point where we can reasonably determine what your future looks like, what additional medical care you require, the cost of such medical care and what permanent restrictions or impairments you have.

The answer to that is almost universally no. The reason for that is the insurance companies like to get in early and offer you a lowball offer in the hopes that they can get you to sign a release of liability waiver. Once that happens, you’re out of luck.

The reason that they send these lowball offers is because you haven’t had a chance yet to properly evaluate your claim. You might still be treating, you might need future medical. There’s also the possibility that you’ve been permanently damaged and you need a doctor to assess that. Read More

Maximum medical improvement or MMI is the point in your injury where you’re about as good as you’re going to get which means you’re not likely to get much better and you’re not likely to get much worse.

It doesn’t mean that you’re all the way better and so for that reason, maximum medical improvement is the point at which your permanent disability benefits are determined. Read More

Yes, it can. In order to modify a child custody order, you have to show what’s called a material change in circumstances.

Now, simply stated what that means is something has to happen. An unanticipated change that if the judge or the parties knew about it when they made the original order, they would have decided differently. Read More

Well, it depends on two things.

First of all, who are you suing and second of all, what are you suing them for? If it’s just general negligence and you’re suing a private person or corporation, it’s four years from the date of accrual of the claim or the date of the accident. Read More
