Personal injury and wrongful death cases invariably involve insurance companies. In the claims process, insurance companies have always held a big advantage. Armed with a battery of legal and forensic experts and extensive resources used to investigate and handle claims, insurance companies have often projected a "David and Goliath" image when dealing with an insured challenging the settlement of his or her claim.
Typically, injured clients and families as well as people against whom claims are brought, do not have the experience necessary to handle a claim for coverage under an insurance policy. Without foreknowledge of the policy, coverage, exclusions, and interpretations, the insured feels helpless when presented with the insurance carrier's interpretation of the policy terms and settlement offer.
Oftentimes, injured individuals and families recover less than what the policy provides and sometimes, nothing at all. In accidents involving uninsured motorists, many people don’t understand the limits of their own auto insurance liability policy and that it may cover personal injuries and other compensatory damages under uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
