After suffering loss within your home or property and filing your claim, the last thing you want to experience is a denied claim or underpayment. You might not know what your rights are, and you might be worried about the trustworthiness of your insurance company – and you should be.
Your financial interests and your insurance company’s financial interests are in a natural conflict. While you want a maximum payout to repair the damages, your insurance company wants to pay as little as possible or nothing at all.
After filing a claim, you may go back and forth between hiring an attorney and trying to figure things out independently. Before you proceed without professional help, consider these nine reasons why hiring an insurance claim attorney can help you.
1. A consultation never hurts
Murray + Murray offers free consultations, which can help you make an informed decision about how to proceed.
2. Dealing with insurance adjusters is difficult
Without an attorney on your side, you might have difficulty competing with the insurance company adjuster who handles cases like yours every day.
3. Assistance with negotiating settlements
A lawyer will help you present your claim and be able to help you decide whether to settle or go to trial.
4. Preventing problems early on is always better
Hiring a lawyer at the beginning of your claim can save significant headaches and hassles later on.
5. Gain a complete understanding of your options
A lawyer can help you understand all your options at the beginning, so you can potentially avoid severe penalties and repercussions in the future.
6. The opportunity to challenge evidence
Without the proper training, you may have difficulty challenging proof from the insurance company.
7. You may get less or nothing without an attorney
Depending on your case, you are likely better off having an attorney help you.
8. Legal issues are complicated
The law is difficult to understand. You should select someone with training and experience to navigate the legal world.
9. One minor mistake could ruin your case
Failure to properly file and fill out certain legal documents could derail or delay your case.
According to a study by the Insurance Research Council, insurance payouts are, on average, 3.5 times higher for clients represented by an attorney than those without an attorney.
