The Insurance Companies' Business Equation.

You pay your insurance premiums month after month, year after year to gain peace of mind and for protection in the event of a loss. You rely on your insurance companies good faith in responding to you in your time of need. For you, insurance is an emotional as well as a financial arrangement. That is why insurance companies' use the jingles or catchphrases in advertising to appeal to your emotions. Unfortunately, insurance is a business, and function like businesses - no matter what its jingle is. There is no "emotion" involved in it. When you make a claim, your insurance company makes a business decision based on your policy language, relevant case authority, and its potential liability. If it decides that the potential liability is less than the amount to pay the claim your insurance company will deny your claim or pay the minimum amount required to be on the positive side of the equation. It's only business.

Shifting the Equation.

Enter your attorneys. When you retain us as your attorneys, the equation shifts. Why? Because now the insurance company has to take into account not only that you have an attorney on your side who is going to fight for equitable payment of your claim, but also, it will have to suffer the expense of retaining its own attorney to defend the claim. In addition, if your attorney files a lawsuit, the insurance company knows it is going to incurr additional court fees and costs. An insurance defense attorney and associated court charges will cost your insurance company tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes more depending on the complexity of the litigation.

So, now the equation shifts. The potential liability has increased and, therefore, the claim payments that can be justified, from a business perspective, is also increased. Simply having an attorney will increase the value of your claim. Having an attorney who understands your insurance coverage and is willing to take your insurance company to trial, if necessary, will obtain the maximum benefit for you.

If you or a loved one have any questions about an insurance issue, please contact us. One of our attorneys will be more than happy to spend time to listen and discuss your situation.
