by Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Valid Personal Injury Claims Without a Fight
When you’re injured in a car crash, slip and fall, or animal attack, you expect the insurance company to do what’s right. After all, that’s what insurance is for—right? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Even when your personal injury claim is completely valid, insurance companies often delay, dispute, or deny payments.
At Steinberg Goodman Law PLLC, we know how frustrating this process can be. That’s why we stand by our slogan:
We Tip the Scales and Fight for Every Dollar You Deserve.
Why Insurance Companies Resist Paying Fairly
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses. Their goal isn’t to pay you what your claim is worth—it’s to protect their bottom line. Here are the main reasons they push back on legitimate injury claims:
1. Protecting Their Profits
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Every dollar they save increases company profits. Even valid claims are scrutinized to find reasons to pay less.
2. Shifting the Blame
An insurer may argue that you were partially or fully at fault, even when police reports or witness statements tell another story. They do this to reduce or eliminate their obligation to pay.
3. Downplaying Injuries
Many insurance companies question the severity of injuries or the necessity of treatment. They may suggest you’re exaggerating your pain or that your injuries were pre-existing—tactics meant to lower settlement offers.
4. Delaying the Process
Some insurers drag their feet hoping you’ll get tired, frustrated, or desperate enough to accept a low settlement. Delays are a common pressure tactic designed to save them money.
5. Taking Advantage of the Unrepresented
Without legal representation, an injured person may not know the full value of their claim or the deadlines that apply. Insurance companies know this and often take advantage by offering settlements far below what’s fair.
