After sustaining injuries from an accident, you will want to focus on getting back on your feet. Depending on the severity of your injuries, your recovery journey may be long and difficult. That is why you may want to hold the responsible party accountable and pay for your injuries. 

However, insurance companies are not known for being generous. In fact, they will try to dispute your claim to pay as little as possible or not pay at all. The best way to have a higher chance of getting compensation is to work with a Rutland VT Personal Injury Attorney. The lawyer knows the tactics insurance companies usually use to undercut and avoid payment on an injury claim. These tactics include the following:

Using Veiled Threats

Insurance companies will try to trick or pressure you into signing away your rights. They will make lowball offers and tell you that you won‘t get anything if you decide to fight. They will try to discourage you that the claims battle is going to be a tough and long one. But, your attorney will tell you never to sign anything the insurance company will force you to sign.

Nullifying Claims

Insurance companies are also known for denying liability. To get compensation, you must prove that your injuries were caused by the negligence of the other party. Insurance providers attack this negligence claim in many ways. They might dispute this claim by saying you were behaving irresponsibly and that you were the negligent party.

Denying your Claim

Usually, insurance companies will directly attack injury claims. They will say that your injury is not as serious as you say. In fact, they might emphasize that you were not injured at all. They will find evidence that can damage your claim. Another way they can deny your claim is to say that your injury did not result from the accident and that you already had it before it.

Attacking the Presented Evidence

For you to get compensated for your injuries, you need strong evidence to support your claim. Unfortunately, insurance companies will often attack the evidence presented and claim there is not enough to support your injury claim.
