You Need Money and the Insurance Company Knows it!!!

Victims of serious Connecticut car accidents suffer more than just physical injuries. These people suffer financial hardships as well. The attorneys and staff at our Connecticut car accident firm understand this. We realize that our clients never had the chance to prepare or plan for the situation they find themselves in due to anothers negligence. Spending days in a hospital bed, weeks at home recuperating, driving back and forth to doctors appointments, all take a financial toll. Even those who have a spouse that is working and have health insurance still feel the financial strain an accident can cause.

Interstingly, defendants and their insurance companies are aware of this as well. The insurance adjuster knows that the longer it takes him/her to come up with an acceptable settlement offer, the more desparate the plaintiff becomes. On a financial level, the more strenuous life becomes for the palintiff, the happeir and more at ease the adjuster gets. With the threat of losing their home, car, or difficulty paying utility bills, the insurance adjusters know that the plaintiff is likely to give up their opportunity for a fair and reasonable settlement, and just take pennies on the dollar to close their case.

The insurance adjuster looks for signs of desparation like taking a loan or advance on their settlement, or taking the accident case to another law firm to speed up the settlement process. These are signs that the plaintiff is desparate for money and this makes the insurance adjuster very happy! At this point the adjuster knows that offering a mininmal amount of money will close the case. We have seen it happen. Our Connecticut car accident firm transferrred a file to another law firm who settled the case within a months time for 1/3 of what the insurance adjuster would have paid. The poor plaintiff lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and is very disappointed with the results. We tried to explain to her that this is a delay tactic often used to save the insurance comapny money. After receiving a fraction of what she truly deserved from the insurance company, she called us back to say how sorry she was for transferring her file and that she now understands the truth of the matter.
