Potential Strategies the Defense May Use

Since insurance companies are rarely eager to pay their obligated amounts to assist the victims after a personal injury, there are some common strategies they like to use as a defense to such claims, including:

• Intimidation– This is the most common strategy utilized by insurance companies to avoid paying their share of the damages. When victims file their personal injury claim without the help of an attorney, insurance companies have a reputation of creating outrageous defenses as to why it was the victim’s fault the accident occured. For an example, during a slip and fall case, the insurance of the business where the fall occurred may claim that the victim was not paying attention and was therefore injured due to their own negligence rather than theirs. 
• Deny the Claim– The insurance companies may also deny the victims claim altogether and say that they didn’t pay their premiums or regular payments. Just because they tell the victims they are not obligated to pay them anything, doesn’t mean it’s true. When the victim is unrepresented they will most likely give up not knowing how to fight against a false denial. A benefit of hiring an attorney to assist you with your case is that they do know how to call bluff and fight back. 
• Low Offers– One of the favorite strategies shared by the insurance industry is offering very low settlements to the victims before they find themselves an attorney to represent them. These offers are usually accompanied by a contract they trick the victims into signing when they agree to the low offer preventing them from another settlement for the same accident. 
• Expert Opinions– The insurance companies may also get statements and false facts to make your claim look ridiculous by hiring experts that work for the insurance company. They usually use this strategy when the case makes it to court. 
• Discounted Rates– Another common strategy insurers use to avoid compensating for claims is minimally discounting the victims rates for the insurance as a substitute for paying for the claim itself. Victims who do not seek an attorney are usually fooled with this strategy and end up missing out on most of their fair compensation amount.
