Let’s face it, we both know it. The insurance companies are in it for profit. They’re just like any other business and the more money they can save, the better their stockholders are off at the end of the year for corporate profits, so what do the insurance companies do? Number one: they argue, first of all, that you couldn’t have been hurt in this accident, that it’s a false claim, that you’ve exaggerated your claim. What else do the insurance companies like to argue? This is a good one.
Well, they like to argue that there was a delay in treatment. Did you know that a delay in treatment as long as four days could possibly hurt your claim, believe it or not? The other thing that the insurance companies like to argue is that you had some pre-existing injury or disease and that this particular accident could not have possibly hurt you or made your claim any worse. What else do the insurance companies like to argue? They like to argue that you could have avoided this accident.
In fact, they argue a lot of times that the accident was your fault. What else will they say or claim? They’ll claim that you never told the police officer that you were hurt. They’ll claim, in fact, that there was no note on the police report that you were hurt, and therefore, you possibly could not have been hurt. They like to argue that you never even went to the emergency room. They like to argue that you have inconsistent treatment, that you went sporadically to the doctor.
Actually, they like to argue that you went to a chiropractor and not a medical doctor. Well, if you’ve been faced with any of these arguments by the insurance company in your car accident case, feel free to call me at 770-792-1000.
