Delay, Delay, Delay. Will Your Virginia Accident Claim Ever be Settled?

When you are injured in a Virginia car accident, life quickly takes a turn. The worries you had the day before the crash seem to fade away, as you now have to deal with painful injuries, doctor visits and most likely time away from work. Before you know it, your medical bills have transformed from a small pile to a mountain.

In the initial time period after your accident, you may not have been too concerned about reaching a settlement with the other driver’s insurance company. After all, the other driver was the one who caused the crash. However, as time went by and you continued to provide the information requested by the claims adjuster, nothing got resolved. You may have come to the realization that the insurance company might be delaying the payment of your claim.

You are probably right.

The Notorious Delay Tactic

One of the common tricks used by insurance companies is the deliberate delay of your claim. Just when you think the adjuster has everything he or she needs, another random document is requested. You see, the insurance company is simply trying to drag out your claim. The insurer knows that the longer they wait to settle your claim, the more stress you will be under financially. Their chances of getting you to settle for a low amount increases, as time goes by.

Don’t let the insurance company trick you. Educate yourself on your rights following a Virginia auto accident and learn the common tactics employed by insurance companies, by ordering the book, Five Deadly Sins That Can Wreck Your Injury Claim.
