Insider Knowledge

  • Your medical bills past and future

  • Your lost wages past and future

  • Your out-of-pocket costs (the amount you have to pay someone else to perform the services you can no longer perform because of your injury)

  • Your pain, suffering and inconvenience

Specific issues that claims adjusters will look at in valuing your claim include:

  • Gaps of time with no treatment: If you wait a month before going to the doctor, the insurance company will not put a lot of stock in the extent of your injury.

  • Your medical records: The insurance company won’t take your word that you are injured. It wants proof such as medical bills and medical records.

  • The extent of vehicle damage: Adjusters assume that severity of vehicle damage equals severity of injury, even though that is false.

The amount that an insurance company will pay is based on four main factors:

“As a former insurance company claims adjuster and lawyer, I know what insurance companies are looking for when they evaluate your injury claim, both the good and the bad. I was trained in the techniques that insurance companies use to evaluate injury claims. I know how and why one injury is worth more (or less) than another. My insider knowledge will help lead to outstanding results for you and your case.”
