Learn Insider Secrets About The Insurance Company That Give You the Upper Hand
After a crash, tricky insurance companies will try to avoid paying fair compensation through misleading claims adjusters, meaningless lawyer ads, and accusations of frivolous lawsuits. Riders must know their rights as injury victims and avoid the deadly sins that can ruin a case.
Our guide takes a look at some additional examples of tricks and tactics that insurance companies may try to use against injured motorcyclists:
- Blaming the rider as the cause of the motorcycle accident
- Limiting medical treatment
- Downplaying injuries and recovery time needed
- Refusing to pay lost wage claims
- Low settlement offers that don’t cover your losses
- Stalling on payments and paperwork
- Misrepresenting policy limits
- Demanding recorded statements early on
Mistakes Riders Make When Seeking Compensation
It’s wise to avoid common mistakes after a bike crash that could undermine your ability to get fair compensation for injuries or expenses incurred. Learning from others’ experiences, here are some of the most frequent pitfalls I’ve seen people encounter when navigating the claims process after an accident:
- Not getting legal representation: Insurance companies have lawyers working for them, and motorcyclists need experienced counsel on their side, too.
- Speaking to the insurance company without a lawyer present: Anything said can be used against you later. All communication should go through the attorney.
- Not fully documenting injuries, costs, and lost wages: Riders need thorough records for their claim and potential lawsuits.
- Giving recorded statements too early: Injuries and treatment may still be ongoing, making full impact hard to convey.
- Accepting low initial settlement offers: Emotions after an accident can lead to undersettling.
- Failing to validate liability and policy limits: Riders need to confirm the other party was at fault and coverage amounts.
- Delaying or missing medical treatment: Completing recommended care is critical to demonstrating full damages.
- Not preserving evidence: Photos of injuries, damaged gear, and the crash scene can support the liability and damage aspects of the claim.
This guide can help you understand these common pitfalls and can help riders advocate for themselves and avoid missteps that jeopardize fair compensation down the road. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer serves as a valuable guide through the claims process as well.
