The Ways Insurance Companies Take Advantage of Claimants
- Tickets: Insurance companies may try to tell people that you’re considered the at-fault party if you got a ticket, and there’s no argument against it. It’s not true.
- Lack of treatment: Adjusters may try to tell you that if you don’t receive treatment within 14 days, you can’t receive compensation. This time frame only refers to personal injury protection benefits. If you file a claim against someone, you don’t have to start treatment within those 14 days.
- Lack of property damage: Insurance companies might claim that you can’t file an injury claim if there’s not a lot of property damage. There’s no 100% correlation between the two, so you shouldn’t believe them.
- PIP exhaustion: Adjusters might tell you that you may not recover anything else once your personal injury protection coverage is exhausted. This is false, and you may have the right to pursue further compensation.
- Degenerative findings: If you suffer an injury, insurance adjusters might try to claim that they are from degenerative findings rather than the accident. A medical professional should provide an accurate diagnosis for your case.
- Pre-existing conditions: Insurance adjusters might try to claim that your damages result from a prior injury or accident. Don’t hide your pre-existing conditions because doctors can help show if you suffer new injuries.
