Motorcycle Accidents–How the Adjuster will Treat your Claim
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 by ANorman
You are a motorcyclist who was injured in a car-to-bike collision. Immediately following the accident you learn you have serious personal injury that could leave you crippled for life. Since you know the accident wasn’t your fault, you feel relatively sure that your insurance company will handle everything. After all, you have paid faithfully into the system for years, have never had an accident and have the best coverage available.
With such a solid foundation, things can hardly go wrong when it comes to getting fair compensation from your insurance provider right?
Wrong!
The Insurance Adjuster is Not your Friend
Shortly after your debilitating motorcycle accident, you will find out how fairly your insurance company will treat you. Far from being sympathetic to your plight, you will find them combative, hard to negotiate with and unwilling to give you the respect you deserve. Even if you have gone 20 years without an accident and faithfully paid all your premiums on time, it won’t matter. Insurance companies are in the business of making money and keeping as much of it in their pockets as they can.
When the insurance adjuster comes to your home, it won’t be with the idea of providing a fair settlement, but to sniff out information they can use against you to pay you as little as possible.
Lets say for example you hurt your leg and walk with the assistance of a cane. The adjuster may note that you are mobile and use this to pay you far less than if you were wheelchair bound. They will attempt to do this even if they know that you permanently need a cane to walk due to crippling leg fracture.
Another Insurance Adjuster Trick
Some adjusters won’t come off combative at all, in fact, they w ill act as if they are doing everything they can to help. They may even produce a settlement offer that has enough zeros behind it to be tempting. Before you accept the offer, really think about what you may be losing in the long run. If the personal injury you incurred was substantial enough, you could find yourself out of work and in rehabilitative therapy for years.
You will notice that the insurance settlement does not cover lost wages, and if it does, the amount is so low ball as to be laughable.
Don’t fall for insurance adjusters tricks. If you have been severely hurt in an motorcycle accident, you need the assistance of an experienced personal injury law firm.
