How Insurance Companies Work

Our firm knows the inside scoop of how insurance companies work. Insurance companies are the poisonous seed to the apple as they know every trick and trap of how to deny or pay the minimal payout in claims. Insurance companies only care about one thing and that is to take whatever steps are necessary to limit their payouts, regardless of how serious the injury is. Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. is here to fight for you and to ensure that the insurance companies award the appropriate amount of money for the injury that was sustained. It is our obligation to make certain that fair compensation is awarded for the victims injuries. The insurance companies are not there for you. They are in business for one purpose - to make a profit for their shareholders. They will not make a fair and reasonable settlement offer for you. Having said that, it is very important that you do not speak with any insurance company representative until you have spoken to a lawyer first. Studies have proven that a person who is represented by a lawyer will receive more money for a claim, even after payment of attorneys fees, than a person that does not seek counsel. The insurance companies know that lawyers generally do not take cases to trial and so they will attempt to settle a case for far less than what the case is actually worth. After investigating the details of a case, Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. is not hesitant to take a case to trial as long as we feel that it will benefit our clients.
