Unfortunately, we are a litigious society. Insurance companies are frequently faced with exaggerated or fraudulent claims. If there is a question as to who is at fault for an accident or if fault is shared, insurance companies are less likely to settle. Likewise, if there were questions as to whether the accident caused your injuries, especially if you previously suffered injury to the same area, or if your injuries are minor, insurance companies would rather continue to litigate the case than settle. Even if not financially reasonable, insurance companies would pay the legal fees than leave an impression that they will settle claims to avoid costly litigation.
Closing Files Is Preferred But Not at the Expense of Unjustifiable Settlements
Insurance adjusters receive about 50 to 100 claims a month and thus, closing files is one of their goals. However, adjusters will not substantially compromise the value of a claim just to close a file. Once a lawsuit is filed, the case is simply transferred to a defense attorney. The adjuster will continue to communicate and assist the defense attorney, but leaving the more difficult tasks to the defense firm.
