INJURED WHILE
WORKING? Ordinarily your claim is handled and paid by an Insurance Company. The Insurance Companies hire major defense law firms to represent them. These defense law firms assist the insurance companies in designing insurance policies which are replete with "conditions" and "exclusions". Each condition and each exclusion is designed to limit somebody's rights under the insurance policy. They have the collateral effect of securing the cooperation of the insured that may be liable for an injury to others under the law. The insurance companies also hire claim adjusters whose jobs are to investigate claims and negotiate them with the injured person. The adjusters are trained to avoid any payment to the injured party, if possible, and if avoidance of payment is not possible, then to pay the minimum amount that they can get away with!
In many companies the adjusters
attend classes and are provided with
handbooks that teach them how to
avoid or minimize the payment of
claims. The handbooks are either
written by or monitored by the
attorneys from the law firm that
represents the insurance company. The rush is due to the insurance companies fear that you will get to an attorney who will get you fully compensated for your injury.
They also fear that as time
goes along, what seemed like a
rather benign injury may turn into a
major & serious injury at a later
date. Therefore, when they offer to
settle with you, they will attempt
to get you to sign a release, part
of which states that the claim is
totally settled including past,
present and future injury and
expense etc..
Among attorneys, we have a saying. If you are at this website because you are injured and believe that you are entitled to compensation as a result of the injury, DON'T TRY TO REPRESENT YOURSELF, HIRE A LAWYER, be it us or someone else of your own choosing. But don’t face the might of the insurance Company, their lawyers and adjusters alone. (More)
