Insurance Company Tactics

Pressure on you for quick settlements

Insurers will offer you immediate money – but very little compared to what you really deserve.

Minimize Your Injuries

They hire doctors to say that your injuries are not that serious or not related to the accident.

They Use Statements Against You

They will ask you trick questions over the phone to get you to say something that will hurt your case.

Medical Payments Delayed

They expect you to get desperate for money and accept less than you deserve.

Valid Claims Denied

They use technicalities and legalities to deny cases that clearly should pay.

How We Protect You:

• We handle ALL communication with insurance companies.
• We thoroughly investigate your case
• We hire independent medical experts
• We fully document your injuries and damages
• We prepare you for trial if necessary
