Avoid Talking to Insurance Companies

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

One of the most common reasons insurance claims from Illinois truck accidents are denied is because the victim was caught unaware by some of the insurance company’s tricks. Companies employ sympathetic, friendly claims adjusters who lure you into a comfortable relationship. Once you trust them, they work toward getting you to admit fault in the accident, downplay your injuries, or trick you into making other damaging statements.The more evidence the insurance companies can collect against you, the better their chances are of denying the claim or offering a low settlement. Often an insurance company will submit a quick settlement in the hope of catching the victim off guard. They bank on the fact that you are emotionally distressed, facing financial issues, and that you will agree to a low settlement to settle the matter quickly.Be careful of signing any paperwork from any insurance company before it can be reviewed by an experienced Chicago truck accident attorney. There are many instances where fine print and clauses within statements and releases will prevent you from filing further legal actions, or release unnecessary records.When you begin your truck accident insurance claim you should first bring in the skills of a Chicago truck accident attorney to help you manage all the correspondence with the companies. Remember that insurance companies are looking out for their best interests first, and our article on dealing with insurance companies following a truck accident will help you understand some of their strategies. If you’re ever unsure about working with an insurance company or talking with a claims adjuster, you don’t have to worry alone.
