Insurance Claim Lawyer: Auto Accident & Personal Injury
Automobile insurance is supposed to provide coverage in the event of an accident. But, let’s face it: insurance companies are in business to make profits. They do not always live up to their obligations, even though they collect the premiums and are supposed to pay if the claim is covered. When you feel like you are owed more than you were offered, contact a car accident insurance claim attorney at The Law Offices of Hans R. Hailey
Why You Need an Attorney’s Help with your Insurance Claim
Insurance companies often throw up many roadblocks to valid auto accident personal insurance claims. A preliminary defense might be to challenge coverage in the first place. Another tactic is simply to delay processing the claim.
If you are frustrated enough, maybe you will not go through with the claim, or might delay filing it in court until after the statute of limitations expires.
Massachusetts Auto Accident & Personal Injury Insurance Claims
Fortunately in Massachusetts, statutes obligate companies to deal in good faith when handling auto accident / personal injury insurance claims. Good faith is defined in several ways. For example,
- An insurance company may not delay in responding to claims,
- Misrepresent relevant facts or policy provisions relating to the claim,
- Or deny a claim without conducting an appropriate investigation.
One very important part of this law requires insurance companies to make a fair offer of settlement once liability becomes reasonably clear.
Violating these obligations also violates the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. For more information, speak to a lawyer about your car accident insurance claim. Contact The Law Offices of Hans R. Hailey.
