When Insurance Claims Adjusters Call
Insurance companies do not want to pay more on a claim than they have to. Consequently, it’s not uncommon for insurance claims adjusters to try to settle a case as soon as possible after an accident. Since most soft tissue damage and certain kinds of head injuries take time to fully manifest themselves, settling a claim early can save an insurer thousands and thousands of dollars.
At Parisi & Gerlanc, we don’t let insurance companies persuade injury victims into settling a claim before the full nature of their injuries is known. As your legal representative, we serve as your intermediary in any communication between you and an insurer. We also review settlement offers and make sure your rights and interests are protected at all times.
Third-Party Workers’ Compensation Claims
When car accidents involve workers who were on the job, they may be entitled to both workers’ compensation benefits and personal injury compensation from the at-fault driver. This dual recovery potential is particularly common for:
- Delivery drivers struck by negligent motorists
- Emergency responders injured while responding to calls
- Construction workers hurt in work zone accidents
- Postal workers involved in intersection collisions
Our firm has extensive experience coordinating these complex cases where workers’ compensation and personal injury claims intersect. We work with your employer’s workers’ compensation carrier while simultaneously pursuing your personal injury claim against the negligent driver. This coordination requires careful timing and strategy to maximize your total recovery while avoiding conflicts between the different types of claims.
Understanding how to navigate these dual proceedings effectively ensures that you receive every dollar of compensation available under both systems. We handle the intricate legal requirements and communication between different insurance carriers to protect your interests throughout both processes.
