What I’m talking about is how often insurance companies get fined for fraud and unfair practices.

It happens all the time.

The power people rather have you focused on some fraudulent claimant – to deceive you into thinking everyone who makes a claim is a fraud.

The truth is that some of the biggest crooks are insurance companies.

I’m not talking about your local insurance agent. Yours, like mine, are probably very decent people trying to help their clients.

I’m talking about the many multi-millionaires at the very top of the food-chain who set policy for insurance companies, and run the industry.

For them, it’s all about saving the almighty buck.

The truth of the matter is most of the good folks who work for these companies get screwed over too.

So you’re not alone.

The point of this blog is to make sure you don’ trust them with your claim – they’ll give you a raw deal.

Not only does it protect your assets if you mess up, it also provides you coverage if you get hit by an uninsured driver or underinsured driver – and there are lots of them out there.

Check out my website on under/uninsured motorist protections.

I see way too many people with serious injuries get far too little because there was not enough insurance coverage.

You can prevent that by buying adequate UM coverage.

The best part – it’s not that expensive! It’s one of the most important types of coverage you can buy.

As you can see from my blogs, I’m very critical of the insurance industry.

I don’t appreciate how they treat good, honest people when they need to make a claim for damages.

By the way, I’m also critical of most lawyers, too.

Any way, my criticism is not directed at insurance agents who sell insurance. Most are decent business people trying to protect their customers. Your insurance agent, like mine, is probably doing their best to sell you what you need for insurance coverage.

These people, however, are not involved in claims. They literally have little, to no, say in how the insurance company will treat you and your claim.

It’s not their table. It’s another department literally.

Even then, my criticisms are usually not even targeted at the insurance claims professions who are hired to work on your claim. Again, most are decent folks trying to make a living.

The trouble is that their hands are tied. They have to pay what the big shots tell them to pay; and in many instances, what some computer says a case is worth.

I never accept a computer’s evaluation of human suffering and you should not either.

Ultimately if your case can not be settled, 12 jurors – living and breathing human beings – sit on the jury, not 12 computers – and that’s a very good thing.

Never talk settlement numbers with an insurance adjuster until you’ve talked with a lawyer.

Most lawyers offer a Free Consultation.

Just pick up the phone and ask for some advice.
