Why Insurance Companies Fight You

Common Underwriting Tactics:

Blame the Victim

• “You weren’t paying attention.”
• “You were wearing inappropriate shoes”
• “The condition was obviously dangerous”
• “You were distracted by your phone”

Minimize the Hazardous Condition

• “It was just a little bit of water.”
• “The lighting was adequate”
• “There was no obligation to warn”
• “The condition was temporary”

Question Your Injuries

• “The injuries are not that serious.”
• “You had pre-existing medical problems”
• “You will make a full recovery soon”
• “You don’t need that much medical treatment”

Push for Rapid Agreements

• They offer immediate cash but not enough
• Pressure when you are vulnerable in the hospital
• They threaten that the offer will expire soon.
• They do not reveal the true value of your case
