Some of my client’s are asking me if the coronavirus pandemic will affect their claim and their recovery. Clients are also asking if the economy gets bad, if insurance carriers will be able to keep paying claims. Other lawyers in other practices areas have also asked if insurance carriers have been slow to respond or have been trying to settle claims for less.
First, be warned; just because some stores may be closed, the deadlines on your case are not on pause. After a car accident, there may be evidence that needs to be collected, insurance carriers will take statements and do an investigation, and injured people need to treat for their injuries. There are also statutes of limitations that effect your claim – some as short as 180 days from the date of loss. If you have been injured in a car accident, call an experienced injury lawyer right away!
Simply put, business is as usual for car accident and insurance claims. While some insurance carriers can be particularly difficult and all insurance carriers have teams of adjusters to scrutinize claims, we have been getting cases settled as briskly as ever through March and April. We have had excellent results for our clients in past months and we will continue to fight hard for our clients to get them the best settlement possible for their injury claim.
I have been in practice for almost twenty years and felt the effects of the economic slowdown in the 2008 recession years. At that time, insurance carriers were taking longer to respond and tightened up on settlements. I fought for excellent results for my clients back then as I do now. I have a proven history of fighting for my clients and producing results!
I am a smaller practice and I am able to dedicate more time to my clients to achieve the very best result possible for every claim.
If you have been injured in a car accident or from the negligence of another, please call me. I am an experienced injury lawyer that gets results. I will answer your questions, explain the insurance and claims process, and give you a realistic evaluation of your claim from the beginning. Don’t wait. I am here to help!
