Insurance Disputes
Personal Injury
Personal injury cases are intended to make the injured party whole again, which means covering medical expenses, lost income and damage to the survivor”s life. Insurance companies usually pay the claims in personal injury cases. They use a “3D” strategy for responding to claims, which involves:
- Delay
- Deny
- Defend
Getting Your Settlement
In dealing with the other party’s insurance company, be wary of “low ball” offers. Even with your own insurance company, you may find that after paying premiums for years, you’re treated as an adversary over a claim. This is especially true in cases where the other party can’t pay. Don’t sign any forms without contacting a lawyer.
“Lara always expressed an interest in my recovery from the accident, and her knowledge of the process in solving this case resulted in an excellent settlement.” Joan Mehn, Eugene, OR
“I care about my clients, and always worry when I must send a client to another lawyer. I don’t have those worries when I refer a personal injury client to Don, because I know my client will get the best care and treatment that can be given for the litigation and trial process.” Paul Sumner, Madras, Oregon, Oregon attorney since 1978
