Is An Insurance Company Neglecting To Pay Your Injury Claim?
Florida is the perfect place to hit the open road for a road trip. The weather in the Sunshine State is usually spectacular. Therefore, folks have plenty of options. Some people go for cruises in their cars, trucks, or SUVs. Meanwhile, others prefer riding around on their motorcycles. There always seem to be cars on Florida's highways and streets. Locals drive from their homes to work, school, stores, and more. Not to mention, tourists are usually out and about, taking in the sights at amusement parks, beaches, and clubs.
With so many motorists in the same areas, accidents occur from time to time. According to Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 403,626 total crashes in the state in 2018. That equaled out to 1,106 incidents per day during that period. The research shows that those events led to 236,157 injuries and 3,135 fatalities.
When a person sustains injuries in a crash that someone else caused, they expect that individual's insurance to cover their medical bills and losses. However, sometimes, that is not what happens at all. The majority of insurers do not have victims’ best interests in mind. Rather, they only care about paying out the smallest amount of compensation possible, providing that they do not deny the injury claim and avoid spending any money altogether.
Don't Let An Insurer Give You The Runaround
Dealing with an insurance company can be like having your teeth pulled. The ordeal can be painful, stressful, and overwhelming. Representatives like to offer injured parties a low-ball settlement right off the bat. People who do not know any better agree to the terms. Then, later on, they often discover that the amount isn’t enough to take care of their expenses.
Meanwhile, some agencies create documents with fine print. They present them to victims, hoping that they will sign their rights to compensation away in the process. These contracts typically do not stand up in a court of law, but the delay tactic can bring the entire ordeal to what seems like a crawl. Time is usually not on the side of people who get hurt in car crashes.
Severe types of damage leave folks unable to work, and lost wages enter the picture. Insurance companies delay, delay, and delay some more. In doing so, they hope that victims will agree to unfair settlements because they need cash to pay for everyday expenses. Things do not have to go this way, though.
