What Is an Insurance Claim?

An insurance claim begins when you file a formal request with your insurance company asking for payment for a covered accident. The payment amount is based on your previous agreement with the insurance company. The insurance company checks your case and either denies or approves the payment. If approved, the company will pay your claim.

Why Would a Claim Get Denied?

You might be surprised how often insurance claims are denied. The following statistics show the frequency of such denials:

  • According to AARP, 200 million health insurance claims are denied each year.
  • Insurance companies that cover home and auto deny around three percent of cases each year.
  • Workers’ compensation and life insurance claims are also denied on an alarming basis.

In addition, insurance companies might not deny your cases outright, instead offering a mere fraction of what your case is actually worth.

A profitable insurance company makes money by collecting premiums, not by paying out all the cases it receives. Therefore, insurers will use any reason they can find to deny a case. For instance, let’s assume you are injured in a car accident caused by another driver. The other driver’s insurance company will often do everything in its power to prevent or reduce the size of a payout.

Even a small detail can prevent you from getting the payout you deserve. A Colorado Springs insurance claims attorney could help someone if their case was unfairly denied.

The following are some examples of how an insurance company might deny or reduce payment on a claim.

Questioning Liability

If you are injured and seeking compensation from the responsible party’s insurance company, you have to prove fault. In other words, you have to prove that a person or company’s reckless actions caused your injuries.

How liability is denied depends on the type of accident in question. If you are injured at work, the insurance company might try to claim you knew the risk of your job and took on the risk by accepting employment there. This takes the negligence away from your employer and puts it on you. You might also be accused of doing something to cause your accident or to make it worse by not seeking care soon enough.

Minimizing Your Injuries

Another common tactic insurance companies use is minimizing your injuries. They do this by seeking out evidence that shows your injury or accident wasn’t as severe as you claim, or that part of it was caused by a pre-existing condition or a subsequent, unrelated incident. They may even go to the trouble of hiring a medical doctor to attest to this fact.

Demanding More Evidence

Insurance companies demand that you prove your case with certain evidence. If you are unable to provide enough evidence, the insurance company may deny or reduce your claim.

Evidence can include documentation from a physician proving that your injury came from the accident. A police report is also very important after a car accident. Without one, an insurance company can question who was at fault for the accident. 

Gather evidence together to strengthen your claim, including:

  • Photographs of injuries or damage to your car or home
  • Records of your lost earnings
  • Medical treatment records
  • Medical bills showing amounts charged for treatment

Remember, the more evidence you have on your injury, the easier it will be for you to prove your case. Your case will be stronger as a result.

How Can an Attorney Help?

Ideally, an insurance company would pay out what they owe without question. However, that’s not how it works. Instead, insurance companies have adjusters, doctors, nurses, and even lawyers working on their side. 

Their goal is to get you to say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, so they can justify denying your claim or paying a reduced amount.

That’s why our services at Springs Law Group are crucial. We understand all the tricks insurance companies utilize, and we are ready to fight for your rights. 

There are two main scenarios where a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer can help when it comes to an insurance claim:

  • Your own insurance company denies your claim. This situation can occur, for example, if your own insurer refuses to pay for property damage when you have a homeowner’s insurance claim. Another situation might involve your auto insurer not covering you in an accident you caused or not covering injuries caused by someone else that was supposed to be covered under uninsured/underinsured motorist or medical payments (MedPay) coverage.
  • Someone else’s insurance refuses to pay. This scenario can take place when you are injured by someone else. Either the other party’s personal insurance or their employer’s insurance would then be responsible for paying your medical bills and other damages. In many cases, the insurance company should reimburse you for lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages as well.

You can’t waste time when dealing with first or third-party bad-faith insurance claims. So seek the help of an attorney as soon as possible. At Springs Law Group, we offer free consultations. During your consultation, we will review your case and tell you how we can help.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire an Attorney’s Help?

 Attorney fees will depend largely on the type of case. In cases involving large amounts of money, an attorney takes a portion of the damages awarded after a case is won: this is called a contingency fee. In other cases, the attorney might charge a flat fee or an hourly fee. We can discuss our rates when you come in for your free consultation

Keep in mind that your claim can provide you with significant compensation to replace lost wages and other damages, including pain and suffering. So, your first priority should be to find out how to get the compensation you are owed.
