2 More Insurance Company Tactics A Look Into the Insurance Adjuster’s Toolbox — Part 3
Delivering False Promises Some adjusters will tell you to get whatever treatment you need and just send them the bills. They say that they’ll take care of the rest. Simple! They do this will the full knowledge that they will later on claim certain treatments or procedures were unnecessary, unreasonable, or excessive. Then, you’ll owe money to the provider. With the insurance company refusing to pay, you’ll find yourself in an aggravating bind.
Insurance companies can be stressful to work with, especially after an accident. You call them and all you want is some help and compensation to pay medical bills and get back on your feet. They want to profit. Over the past two months, we’ve looked into the insurance adjuster’s toolbox and at tactics they use to pay you as little as possible. This month, to round out the series, we have two more: Befriending You This tactic is all too common. The adjuster acts like he or she is your best friend. There have even been instances where adjusters flirt with the claimant. They may even give you personal advice about the type of treatment you should get and how frequently you should get it. And then, regardless of whether you take their advice, they will likely claim that your treatments are excessive. If you miss a doctor’s visit here or there, they’ll claim you must already be healed and there is no reason they need to pay for those treatments.
These and other tactics we’ve explored represent only some of the tools adjusters have at their disposal. Be vigilant and work
with an attorney who can break past these barriers. When you’ve been in an accident, you don’t need another obstacle to your journey back to normalcy.
