Motorcycle Accidents

People who are accustomed to treating others fairly may expect the same treatment from others. Unfortunately, insurance companies are more concerned about their bottom lines than helping injured people.

There are many tactics that insurance companies use to shortchange accident victims:

Ask you to make a recorded statement: Insurance company representatives are experienced at getting people to say things that will damage their case.

Offer you a low-ball settlement: If you accept the settlement, your case is often over. You will not be able to go back later and obtain more money if your damages turn out to be more serious that you first thought.

Drag out your case: The longer your case goes on, the more likely you will accept any settlement offer. You may also do something that will damage your case such as discontinue medical treatment.

Shift blame to you: In Tennessee, your recovery in a personal injury lawsuit is reduced by any percentage of negligence that can be assigned to you. Even if the other driver pulled out in front of you, the other driver could claim you were speeding and therefore were partially at fault.
