CNA Insurance Car Accident Injury FAQs
Background on CNA Insurance
CNA ranks thirteenth on the list of the largest casualty and property insurance companies in the United States and his seventh largest in selling commercial insurance. The Chicago-based insurance company generates more than $10 billion and revenue every year.
In addition to providing vehicle and property protection, CNA Financial Corporation subsidiaries offer coverage involving professional liability, health care, worker's compensation, commercial automobile insurance, director and officer's liability insurance, and financial services to millions of customers.
Determining the Value of Your Auto Injury Claim With CNA
Were you involved in an accident with a driver insured by CNA? If so, it is essential to understand how the insurance provider will value your claim and decide your fate in recovering your damages.
Like State Farm, GEICO, Allstate, and others, CNA uses Colossus, a claim estimation computer algorithm that generates "objective" determinations on how much every case is worth. Unfortunately, Colossus has significant drawbacks because it bases its results on unlimited data concerning a very personal accident, crash, event or incident, treating victims like numbers.
The insurance provider inputs data into the algorithm to obtain a valued result that is often significantly lower than the case's true worth. CNA uses the computer's result to make ridiculously low settlement offers to victims injured by their policyholders.
You do not need to accept an embarrassingly unacceptable low settlement from any insurance company that is eager to reward shareholders by protecting its profits from victims. You never have to accept the numbers the computer provided CNA without a comprehensive evaluation of how your severe injury claim was valued.
You and your family might be dealing with a tremendous financial burden due to life-changing, catastrophic injuries or the loss of a loved one killed by the negligent actions of another.
Filing a Claim for Compensation With CNA
Nearly immediately after you file a complaint against the insurance company to obtain financial compensation, CNA will likely ask you to make a recorded statement to provide your side of the story as to what happened. However, the insurance company can use the information you provide against you and reduce your compensation.
Our legal team advises that you never give a recorded statement or sign any documents by CNA or any other insurance company unless you are the policyholder. Instead, allow your attorneys to handle correspondence between you and CNA to ensure your rights are always protected, so your family can be compensated for your damages.
Settling a Commercial Vehicle Claim With CNA
Many commercial companies carry CNA insurance coverage to protect their interests when involved in trucking accidents. If you were involved in a crash with a commercial vehicle insured by CNA, you might face a claims adjuster who will look at the facts to decide who is at fault for causing the crash.
The insurance company will do whatever is needed to minimize the amount they pay out to recover your damages. However, an attorney working on your behalf can seek out all parties at fault to add as many defendants as possible to your case to ensure you receive adequate compensation.
Your lawyer might file a claim against the commercial truck driver, the trucking company, the truck manufacturer, truck maintenance company, and others that might have also played a part in causing the collision that led to your injuries, property damage, or the death of a loved one.
Filing a Claim or Lawsuit to Recover Compensation for Personal Injuries
Initially, all victims injured by others' negligent actions have the legal right to file a claim for compensation against every party at fault for causing their damages. However, even though the insurance company accepts your claim, they might conclude after an investigation that you are at fault for the accident and deny your claim or delay offering you a settlement.
In many incidents, the insurance company will refuse to make an acceptable offer to ensure you are made financially whole again after their policyholder caused your damages. They might refuse to give you the compensation you deserve based on factors they determine to be valid.
However, lawyers handling your case will likely advise you to file a lawsuit against the defendant that offers too low a settlement to take your case to trial. This effort often causes the insurance company to reevaluate your decision because they know that resolving a lawsuit can be extremely expensive.
How Hiring an Experienced Attorney Can Help Resolve Your Case Faster & For More Compensation
Like all insurance carriers, CNA will never be on your side to ensure that you are provided the amount of compensation you deserve for your case. Insurance companies must protect their shareholders and keep as much profit as possible, which can be accomplished by diminishing payouts or denying claims outright.

- Ensure that every aspect of your compensation claim is correctly prepared, including filing all the necessary documents and paperwork in the proper courthouse before the statute of limitations expires.
- Negotiate on your behalf during a settlement offer meeting with the defendant, the defendant's attorneys, or the claims adjuster.
- Advise you whether to accept the settlement offer or take the case to trial to ensure your family receives the amount of compensation you deserve.
