How to Know if an Insurance Company Is Lowballing Your Claim

After an accident, you have likely been left with extensive injuries and bills piling up from any losses you have suffered. One of the first steps victims should take following an accident is to file a claim with an insurance company. However, the insurance company’s main goal is typically to offer you the lowest possible amount in compensation. That is why it is crucial you know how to tell if an insurance company is lowballing your claim in California.

Younglove Law Group is a team of California personal injury lawyers with extensive experience helping clients negotiate the best possible outcome for their insurance claim. Our award-winning team of attorneys provide our clients with the dedicated and trusted representation they need when going up against the aggressive tactics of insurance companies in California.

4 Signs That an Insurance Company is Lowballing Your Claim

Having insurance is important in the event that an accident occurs and you experience losses. Unfortunately, despite doing your part to file your claim with the insurance provider following an incident, it is likely that the insurers will look for ways to offer you the lowest possible amount in compensation for your claim. In the event that you suspect this is happening to you, it is crucial that you understand the signs that an insurance company is lowballing your claim.

You Received a Settlement Offer Too Quickly

While it is everyone’s hope that you get through your accident claim process in a timely manner, when you receive a settlement offer too quickly it can be cause for concern. Depending on the type of accident you have been involved in, there can be extensive and complex information to go through like medical documentation and police reports. Because of this, if you receive a settlement offer unusually quickly, it can mean that the insurers skipped through important information and lowballed your claim.

You Are Pressured to Accept the Offer

When you receive an offer, the insurance company will likely state that the amount is the highest they will go and that you better act fast to accept it. However, when you work with a trusted personal injury lawyer, they will have the experience to know how to negotiate to get you a better settlement amount.

They Have Ignored or Dismissed Evidence

If the insurance company can somehow make the accident your fault, that means they can offer you less money. They can do this by ignoring or dismissing key evidence that demonstrates the cause of the accident or who is at fault. That is why it is crucial to provide key evidence like witness statements, police reports, or photos of the accident scene.

They Question Your Injuries

Insurance companies will often try to blame your injuries on a preexisting condition and claim that they were not caused by the accident. That is why it is essential that you take photos of your injuries and get copies of medical tests or a written letter from your doctor to prove that the injury was caused by the incident described in your claim.
