What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury claims are legal actions taken by individuals who have suffered harm or injury due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another party. It is often accompanied by an insurance claim, which involves requesting compensation to cover the damages with an insurance company.

Personal injury claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, slip and falls, workers’ compensation claims, and product liability. To make a successful claim, the injured party must demonstrate that the other party was at fault and that their negligence caused the injury.

Making a personal injury insurance claim involves filing a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. The insurance company will investigate the claim and determine the compensation owed to the injured party. The case may go to court if the parties cannot reach a settlement.

It is important to note that personal injury insurance claims can be complex and time-consuming. It is recommended that individuals seek the assistance of a personal injury lawyer to help guide them through the process and ensure their rights are protected.

Common Issues in Insurance Claims

Insurance claims can be complex and riddled with issues that may hinder obtaining compensation. Common issues in insurance claims include coverage disputes, claim denials, and underpayment of claims.

Coverage disputes can arise when an insurance company disputes coverage for a particular incident, which may leave the injured party without the compensation they need. This can be due to policy limitations, exclusions, or other factors.

Claim denials occur when an insurance company outright denies a claim, leaving the injured party with no recourse for compensation. Denials may be based on various factors, including a lack of evidence or disagreement over the cause of the incident.

Underpayment of claims can occur when an insurance company offers a settlement that is less than what the injured party is entitled to, resulting in underpayment of the claim. Navigating these common issues in insurance claims can be difficult without the assistance of an experienced legal team.

At Held, Held, & Held, we have a proven track record of helping clients resolve disputes with insurance companies and obtain fair compensation for their losses.

Bad Faith Insurance Claims and Your Legal Rights

Bad faith insurance claims occur when an insurance company denies or fails to pay a valid claim without a reasonable basis for doing so. This can include denying coverage, failing to investigate a claim properly, or offering an unreasonably low settlement amount. When an insurance company acts in bad faith, it violates your legal rights.

You have the right to be treated fairly and receive the benefits owed to you under your or the at-fault party’s insurance policy.

At Held, Held, & Held, we have extensive experience helping clients pursue bad faith insurance claims and hold insurance companies accountable for their actions. Our legal team works closely with clients to gather evidence of bad faith, such as emails, policy documents, and other communications, and pursue legal action against the insurance company.

Contact us today if you believe you have been the victim of bad-faith insurance practices.

Steps to Take After an Insurance Claim Denial or Low-Ball Offer

If your insurance claim has been denied or you have received a low settlement offer, there are several steps you can take to overturn the decision and obtain fair compensation.

Here are the six steps you should take after an insurance claim denial or low offer:

  1. Review the denial letter or offer from the insurance company and take note of any reasons or explanations provided for the decision.
  2. Gather evidence supporting your claim, including medical records, police reports, and witness statements.
  3. Contact an experienced attorney who can review your case and advise you on the best course of action.
  4. Appeal the decision with the insurance company. Follow the appeals process outlined in your policy and provide any additional evidence that supports your claim.
  5. Negotiate a settlement with the insurance company to reach a more suitable agreement. Your attorney can help you negotiate for a higher settlement amount.
  6. File a lawsuit If you cannot reach a satisfactory resolution with the insurance company.

It’s important to remember that disputing an insurance claim denial or low offer can be complex and time-consuming. Having an insurance claim lawyer on your side can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. If you need help navigating this process, our legal team is here to help.

I am a former New York State Judge. My wife was severely injured in an automobile accident. The Held firm took the case when others said, “There’s nothing here.” We settled for a sizeable amount due to the care, hard-work and diligence of all members of this firm.

This office was awesome. The lawyers and staff were so helpful with all my questions and getting me a great settlement. They always got back to me and they actually cared about me and my case. I never usually write a review, but I felt like these guys deserved a positive review for all of their efforts.

Walked in for a consultation regarding a car accident several months ago. I was injured and was unsure what my rights were and what I could do about it. My first impressions were nothing short of amazing! After only a few minutes I met with a lawyer.
