Most citizens--and, unfortunately, a great number of health
care providers and legal counselors as well--have expectations of the insurance
compensation claims process that are based on outmoded information.
Result: a win for insurance companies, who keep their money
through massive denial of claims compensation for victims, and denial of
necessary treatment because health care providers don't know the ins and outs
of their criteria for paying.
When you sustain a car accident injury, it is reasonable for
you to expect quality care and compensation, especially with representation for
your legal interests. Alas, times have
changed and your chances of a reasonable settlement for car accident injury
have gotten much worse.
In fact, the deck is stacked against you.
These days, insurance companies use sophisticated software
to calculate claims amounts. One
practice in particular was so cost-saving for one company that all the others
adopted it, resulting in a deep drop in compensation amounts available to
victims of car accident injury.
This little known change to the claims process is a double
whammy. First, it caps the compensation
for car accident injury sustained in a particular (extremely common) type of
collision. Second, this cap is
calculated to discourage vigorous legal pursuit of decent compensation.
Did you know that insurance companies, dealing with certain
common car accident injury claims, are more likely to go into a costly court
battle--at a much higher price than that of a reasonable settlement amount--in
order to create a climate of futility for victims and their legal
representation?
These days it does not pay to count on professionals having
less than absolutely up-to-date special expertise in taking on your car
accident injury case.
You already know you can't treat yourself medically. Now you also know that your chances of decent
care and compensation are slim indeed if you don't use medical and legal
professionals who are up to the moment with insurance industry practice and
procedure.
