The other driver's insurance company is giving me the run around, what do I do?

 

A: Unfortunately, insurance companies have a way of delaying payment when they are required to pay up for their driver's negligence. Often times, you will find yourself leaving voicemail after voicemail only to be told, "the adjustor is busy this week," or "I have to show the file to my supervisor who is on vacation this week." Do not be put off by this. Insurance companies have 30 days to settle most claims, so they have time on their side. However, I have noticed that when insurance companies find themselves accruing costs, they tend to settle a lot faster. For example, if they accept liability and you are waiting for their adjustor to go look at the car in the body shop, demand a rental. They have to provide a rental (although it is usually the cheapest car rental available). Once they provide the rental, they will move much master because the longer they delay, the more it is costing them in rental fees.

Testimonials

  • I recently was in a terrible car accident that impacted my health, the
    health of my passenger as well as me financially. I contacted Joseph
    Ghabour for his opinion and he was very supportive in calming my
    nerves and addressing my concerns. He literally took the problem from
    me and resolved it while allowing me to focus on the health issues we
    were facing. He gave fantastic advice along the way ensuring that I
    didn't do something that would jeapordize the outcome of the case. I
    am not a litigious person - this was my first and likely my only
    lawsuit - but I felt that with all I was facing I shouldn't have to
    bear the financial burden that was caused by someone else's
    carelessness for the law. Joe kept me informed and ensured that I
    received what I was entitled to covering my expenses and allowing me
    the ability to replace my car without additional financial burden. He
    was calm, understanding and very focused on my case throughout the
    process. I would recommend him to anyone with a legal need.
  • Mr. Ghabour has been patient and available, listening to the circumstances of my case..
