Accident Lawyers Who Defend Your Rights
Insurance companies, in general, have one goal in mind – to pay out as little as possible on claims against their insured. When you’ve been in a bicycle accident, you may be wondering if a claim is even worth pursuing – are your injuries and damages enough to merit a claim? For most people, this is an intimidating process and it’s hard to know how to move forward if you don’t know what to expect.
The red tape of insurance companies complicates an already painful situation – they are not in the business to help you. Without an attorney, many victims underestimate the value of their damages, so it’s important to have an experienced bicycle injury attorney on your side to work with the insurance companies involved and to determine the appropriate amount of compensation you are owed.
How Do Insurance Companies Pay
Out Bicycle Claims?
Insurance companies look out for one thing: their bottom line
They collect money from premiums and invest in the stock market and other capital-earning ventures to increase their profits. When they have to pay out on a claim, their bottom lines are affected.
Insurance companies represent themselves to ensure the lowest settlements
That’s if they don’t deny the claim outright. This means even your own insurance company will do everything they can to keep their money in investment accounts where they earn interest on your money.
Most experts advise against speaking with another person’s insurance company
While you should call your own insurance company to report an accident, you are not required to speak with the other driver’s insurance carrier at all. Remember, they aren’t looking out for you.
