Nationwide Injury Claim

When it comes to insurance, Nationwide is on your side, right? 

That’s what their catchy jingle tells us, anyway. But when it comes to injury claims, the reality may be a little more complicated.

Insurance companies like Nationwide are in the business of making money, which means they may not always have your best interests in mind. They may offer you a low settlement or try to deny your claim altogether.

So, when you’ve been injured and have a Nationwide claim, how can you ensure you don’t get the short end of the stick?

At Springs Law Group, we’ve put together a guide to walk you through the Nationwide claims process and how you can get help. Here’s everything you should know.

What to Expect When Handling a Nationwide Injury Claim

Whether you’re filing a first- or third-party injury claim after your accident, Nationwide makes it pretty easy to do so. But the following process is where many people get tripped up and lose thousands of dollars. 

But if you know what to look for, you can save yourself the trouble.

If you’re dealing with a Nationwide injury claim, here’s what to expect: 

• They’ll want you to give a recorded statement about the accident to get you to say something that will damage your case
• They’ll want you to sign a medical release authorization giving them access to all your medical records for your entire life
• They’ll investigate your accident to try to find everything they can to deny or reduce compensation
• You’ll get a settlement offer, and they’ll try to convince you it’s the best you can get

When there’s money on the line, the insurance company will try to back you into a corner. They want you to feel like you have limited options. 

They know you’re injured, you have medical bills, and you might be strapped for cash. They’ll prey on that and offer a quick and unjust settlement. 

But you’re not going to give them the satisfaction. 

Instead, you’re going to protect your rights and play the insurance game to get the most money from your settlement. Let’s look at ways you can protect your right to compensation. 

Preparing a Successful Injury Claim: How to Protect Your Right to Compensation

The clock starts ticking on your insurance claim as soon as you’re hit and hurt. 

Once the insurance company gets wind of your accident, they will want to settle quickly and below budget. 

Here’s how you can protect your rights to compensation:

1. Get medical attention immediately. You’ll need to prove you were hurt.
2. If you can, get evidence from the scene. This will go a long way in proving your innocence. 
3. Keep detailed records of everything that happens. 
4. Snag a copy of the police report.
5. Don’t admit fault for the accident or express guilt. 
6. Don’t give a recorded statement to the insurance company.
7. Call a personal injury attorney. 

The insurance company is banking on the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing.

Not So Fast — Why You Should Call a Lawyer BEFORE Talking to the Insurance Company

Nationwide is an insurance giant, bringing in billions in revenue every year. 

To keep that revenue, they take as much as possible from customers and pay as little as possible out on claims. And they have a whole team of insurance adjusters whose whole purpose is doing this. 

To them, you’re just another claim number, and you can expect them to treat you like one—using every trick in the book to pay you pennies on the dollar. 

This is just the insurance game. It has been that way long before your claim came along and will be that way for years to come. The best way you can protect yourself is by consulting a personal injury lawyer who knows what they’re doing. 

At Springs Law Group, we know how to negotiate with adjusters and medical providers on your behalf to get maximum compensation and keep more money in your pocket. 

Because when someone else’s negligence has injured you, we know that a little bit can go a long way.
