For Legal Counsel on Insurance Issues, Accidents and Compensation in Massachusetts, Talk to Our Attorneys
The first thing to understand about insurance companies is that they operate for profit. Some insurance companies, in some cases may offer an injured claimant full compensation without the necessity of a lawsuit. But in our experience, many if not most insurers will do whatever it takes to avoid paying out any more benefits than they have to. A large part of their agenda is to justify not paying benefits that clients need or expect.
The old adage of "delay, deny, defend" describes pretty clearly the priorities that we see at work among our clients' insurers. They try to make claimants and their health care providers jump through multiple hoops — seemingly in hopes that a claimant will give up and they will escape responsibility altogether. (And in the meantime, they continue to earn interest on money that rightfully belongs to their claimants.) They deny claims on any number of pretexts. They work hard to defend themselves against claims — often sending investigators to the scene of a truck accident, for example.
In order to obtain the benefits you are entitled to after an accidental injury, you are likely to need someone to advocate on your behalf before insurance companies — to get past, or break down, the stone walls of resistance. At Dane Shulman Associates, LLC, our attorneys have a long tradition of pushing past the delays, the denials and the defense in order to help our injured clients get what they deserve:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wage replacement
- Medical bills paid
- Out-of-pocket expenses reimbursement
Insurance issues are often complicated by other legal issues such as counterclaims, subrogation, and stacking. Insurance policies and insurance claims are, in fact, a complex area of the law that is best handled by professionals. Our personal injury lawyers have years of experience cutting through the red tape in order to get our clients the financial relief that they need after an accident.
Unlike most personal injury law firms, we employ staff members who work with medical providers and medical insurers to monitor health care expenditures. It is surprising how often our staff members find mistakes on medical bills, such as billing multiple medical payors for the same service. By holding these parties accountable, we work to maximize your final recovery.
