When Insurance Companies Push Back
After you’ve been involved in a car accident in Bartow, you probably know you’ll need to reach out to your auto insurance company to file a claim. You’ll also need to get the other driver’s information in case your damages exceed the limits of your no-fault insurance policy.
What many car accident victims don’t know is that they’re likely to face some dishonest and manipulative tactics from the insurer. Although fault shouldn’t affect your no-fault insurance compensation, your own insurer may make a quick settlement offer in the hope that you’ll immediately accept it. This initial settlement offer will often be much lower than the true value of your damages.
Even more insurance problems come up when you file a claim with the other driver’s insurer in the event that your injuries are serious enough to warrant a claim outside the no-fault system. That’s when the insurance company may try to twist your own words or otherwise make it look like you hold more blame for your car accident than you actually hold.
Enlisting the assistance of a qualified Bartow car wreck attorney can be a great way to ensure that you aren’t taken advantage of.
What the Liable Party Is Obligated to Cover
Once we’ve established who will be named in your personal injury case, we will begin to calculate the value of your Bartow auto accident claim by examining the extent of your injuries and how they’ve impacted or are expected to impact your life.
We will likely begin by calculating the full amount of your medical expenses—being burdened by medical bills when you’re trying to recover from your injuries is something no one should have to deal with. Medical expenses could include hospital bills, prescription medications, medical equipment, copays, and similar costs.
Other areas we will assess when computing the value of your claim include the following:
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
Some car accident claims even result in an award of punitive damages, which are designed to punish the liable party for behavior that was particularly egregious or malicious. These damages are meant to prevent future wrongdoers from making similar mistakes.
