10 Things Insurance Companies
Don't Want You to Know
A Charleston Law Firm Serving all of West Virginia
- An insurance company's object is to make money, not to pay for your injuries. The less they pay out, the more they make.
- It is in the best interest of the insurance company if you don't understand how your insurance policy works.
- An insurance company is held responsible to act in good faith regarding the content of their policies, in the interpretation of these policies, and in the payouts of claims filed to them.
- Any poorly worded or misleading areas in your policy must be interpreted in your favor rather than benefit the insurance company.
- In most cases, your insurance company will save considerable money by not paying out your claim. Therefore, they will go to great lengths not to pay you.
- If you wait too long to bring your claim, you may never be entitled to legal recourse.
- The more evidence you collect, the stronger your claim will be, and the more likely you will get paid.
- Hiring an experienced attorney will more than likely increase the amount of money the insurance company pays out to you.
- In cases where the insurance company plans to pay you, the money will generate more revenue for them the longer they hold on to it.
- The insurance company can be forced to pay punitive damages if it can be proven they acted in an oppressive, fraudulent or malicious way.
