Are You Being Cheated by your Insurance Company?

By Car Accident Help on March 27, 2012 | Posted in: Insurance/Bad Faith

If you have been offered a settlement from an insurance company, it may be in your best interest to have a lawyer review the offer before accepting it. It is common for insurance companies to cut corners by offering inadequate settlements or trying to reduce the value of your claim. When a claimant accepts a settlement, he or she will no longer be able to pursue compensation for their loss. Therefore, insurance companies hope that injured victims of Oklahoma car accidents will accept a lower settlement and allow them to close the case without paying out a significant amount. The practice of denying justified claims or offering an unfair settlement is known as “insurance bad faith.”

If you worry that your insurance company is cheating you, there is a good chance that your suspicions are justified. Never assume that your insurance company is being fair and remember that you do not have to accept their first offer. Instead, ask yourself a number of important questions.

What types of losses did you suffer in the accident? How much does your insurance cover? Does the settlement reflect all of the losses you have suffered, including medical bills, time away from work, and future losses that may result from your injuries? If you are being cheated, you may be able to pursue additional compensation through an OK bad faith case against your insurance provider.
