Introduction
When you think of insurance companies, you probably don’t have fond memories. They’re often portrayed as heartless giants who take advantage of people’s misfortune and misery, but that’s not always the case.
Insurance companies exist to protect us from unforeseen losses. However, their business model is based on risk management—not charity—so it can be challenging to see past their bottom line when dealing with claims.
But once in a while, there are cases where an insurance company does something nice for someone another party has wronged—without expecting anything in return except perhaps a “thank you.”
One of the reasons insurance premiums go up is because people abuse the system.
The insurance industry is a business; they must pay their employees and keep the lights on.
-This can be difficult when people are filing frivolous lawsuits, not reporting accidents, or abusing the system in other ways.
One of the reasons your premiums go up is because people don’t report accidents that could potentially increase your premiums. Another reason is when someone rolls over their car in a ditch but decides against filing claims with their insurance companies (and you).
You might think that if you don’t tell your insurance company about any potential accidents or incidents involving your car, then they won’t find out anyway
—but in reality, even if they don’t find out themselves, it’ll come back to haunt you later on down the road when someone else does report it and tries to claim damages caused by the incident.
Many people create situations in their lives that are meant to look like negligence on another’s part.
Many people create situations in their lives that are meant to look like negligence on another’s part.
For example, someone might park their car in such a way as to make it appear that another driver caused the damage when they didn’t. Or, they might stage an accident at home and blame someone else for it.
These activities can be dangerous because they can get innocent people into severe legal trouble while making criminals money from insurance companies who have paid out premiums on fraudulent claims.
Insurance fraud affects everyone by increasing your rates and decreasing the money available for legitimate claims, including medical treatments or home damage from natural disasters.
If you suspect someone is committing insurance fraud against you or someone else, report them immediately.
Your local police department will conduct an investigation, and if found guilty of fraud charges could lead to jail time for both parties involved (or worse).
A criminal lawyer will help ensure that fair treatment is provided during trial proceedings, so nobody gets railroaded into prison just because they were unlucky enough not to know better than before they committed any crime against another person’s property rights.
Many attorneys thrive on taking advantage of insurance companies.
Many attorneys thrive on taking advantage of insurance companies. They know they will lose thousands of dollars in fees and expenses if their case is frivolous, but they don’t care because they have other ways to make money.
As a result, some attorneys file claims knowing that they will win, some file claims to know that they will lose, and others file claims without researching the case’s merits or speaking with all relevant parties and witnesses.
An expert witness can make or break a case.
When a case goes to court, an expert witness is called upon to testify. An expert witness has experience and knowledge in a particular field.
In personal injury cases, you might have a doctor or surgeon testify for the plaintiff about the injuries suffered by your client; or you could call on an accident reconstructionist to explain how the crash happened. A lawyer may also be considered an expert witness because they know the law and legal procedures.
There are two ways that experts can be paid: (1) by the court; (2) by both sides of the case based on their time spent preparing for trial and testifying.
Don’t attempt to sue an insurance company without a reasonable attorney by your side.
- You will need an attorney to help you navigate the legal system. Most people are unfamiliar with their state’s laws and regulations and how to use them.
- You need to know how to work with an attorney. An insurance company will try to confuse you by throwing around a lot of legal jargon and technicalities in hopes of making their case seem more robust than it is, but don’t let them get away with that.
- You need to know how they work with insurance companies. Insurance companies have lots of experience dealing with injured people and can be ruthless regarding money for them—your money.
Even if you feel you have a valid case, if an attorney disagrees, they won’t take it to court.
If you hire an attorney who doesn’t think you have a case, they won’t take it to court. Lawyers are in the business of making money.
They want to make sure their client pays them for their services. If your lawyer thinks he can win, why waste his time?
That’s why most people find dealing with insurance companies so frustrating: they are more interested in protecting their bottom line than getting justice for you.
Contact an attorney immediately if you or someone you know has been subjected to negligence.
If you or someone you know has been subjected to negligence, contact an attorney immediately. Don’t wait for the insurance company to get you or anyone else.
It’s important to understand that there are time limits on filing a lawsuit against a negligent party.
For example, in California and other states, if someone is injured due to industrial equipment malfunctioning (for example), they have only two years from the date of injury or death to file suit against the manufacturer or installer of that equipment. However, if it takes longer than two years for them to realize their damage was caused by negligence (or if they do know it but don’t consult with an attorney), then their claim may be barred forever under these statutes of limitations (known as “sues”).
Insurance companies may not be easy to work with, but they play a beneficial role in society.
In our litigious society, insurance companies are necessary to protect us against potential lawsuits and fraud.
They help protect us from negligence and accidents as well. Additionally, they make it easier for people injured by someone else’s actions to get the medical care they need without worrying about paying for it out of pocket.
So while you may not be happy with your insurance company right now, understand that they play an essential role in society by protecting everyone from the costs associated with legal action or negligence on the part of another person or entity (such as a business).
Conclusion
It can be frustrating and confusing when you need to file a claim. In addition, insurance companies are not easy to work with.
The best way to handle situations like this is to find an attorney who specializes in insurance law.
They’ll be able to help you navigate the process and make sure that you get what’s rightfully yours.
