Frequently Asked Questions
Once an insurance company makes an offer to settle my Massachusetts personal injury claim, can I dispute the amount on the basis that the amount is not enough to cover my extensive medical bills and lost wages?
A:
Insurance companies are notorious for trying to offer you the lowest personal injury settlement possible in the hopes you’ll be desperate enough to take any amount no matter unfair. Before signing any paperwork regarding a personal injury settlement, you should review the offer with a trusted Massachusetts personal injury attorney.
The insurance company knows that you are most likely facing financial stress from your accident, including the resulting medical bills and lost wages. They will often deny coverage for certain medical procedures and injury reports due to past medical history. Also, your wages may not be properly reported if you do not provide enough documentation to justify your time out of work.
These tricks of the insurance adjusters often result in severely inadequate personal injury settlement amounts that the insurance company will hope you accept just to get some sort of compensation to take care of your mounting bills. Instead of giving in to this initial personal injury settlement, speak to a Massachusetts personal injury attorney to discuss the option of filing a personal injury lawsuit.
