A Class Action Lawsuit Brought by Travelers Policy Holders
In 2010, the company settled a nationwide class-action lawsuit involving victims hurt by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. More than 35,000 Travelers members participating in the suit as plaintiffs claimed that the company refused to provide coverage for their damages and losses occurring in both massive storms as their hurricane coverage offered in their Travelers' policies.
Negotiating a Travelers Insurance Injury Claim Settlement After a Chicago Auto Accident
While many injured victims choose to settle their case out of court and conduct their negotiations with the Travelers Insurance Company or their claims adjusters, the process can be quite daunting. Many studies show that without legal representation, the victim is usually at a significant disadvantage against insurance companies with years of experience negotiating meager settlement amounts.
Some insurance companies will offer a low amount in a settlement offer to determine if the victim knows what they are doing. It is important to remember that all insurance companies, including Travelers, are more interested in satisfying their shareholders' financial needs over policyholders and injured victims.
To do that, they use proven strategies and tactics that have work done hundreds of thousands of other victims before. Because of that, many victims will hire personal injury attorneys who specialize in auto injury claims with a proven track record of obtaining the highest amount of compensation available.
Travelers Insurance Investigation Process for Auto Claims
At some point before Travelers Insurance offers you a settlement or negotiates the settlement process, they will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the accident to determine what happened, who is at fault, and the extent of damages, including personal injury or wrongful death.
Either the claims adjuster or insurance carrier will gather evidence and try to obtain testimony from various sources, including:
- The police report filed by law enforcement from information collected at the scene of the accident,
- Statements obtained from other drivers, passengers, and witnesses at the scene,
- Photographic evidence and measurements of the accident scene,
- Obtaining numerous repair estimates on the extent of damage to your vehicle,
- Any information provided by you through a written or oral statement
You will likely be asked to sign a medical authorization release form by the claims adjuster along with an employee records release form. However, our attorneys always advise our clients never to sign anything or speak about the accident or their injuries through a document or oral testimony without having a lawyer present who can protect their rights.
While the insurance carrier might suggest that they need this information, they often use what you provide as a tool to diminish the value of your case or deny your claim outright.
Instead, consider hiring lawyers to handle your case, speak to the insurance company, talk to the defendant's lawyers and present your statement or testimony in a way that safeguards your rights to seek and obtain financial compensation to recover your damages.
Your lawyer can adequately evaluate your medical conditions and present and to the insurance company in a legally protected way.
In some cases, the insurance company will hire investigators to surveyor activities in the hope of discrediting the severity of your injuries. Their findings might help to minimize their payouts to settle your claim to hold on to their profits at your expense.
Resolving Your Travelers Auto Case With Legal Representation
The easiest way to successfully resolve your claim and ensure your family receives adequate compensation is to hire a reputable law firm's legal representation. Lawyers working on your behalf can ensure you are not taken advantage of by the insurance company or the claims adjuster who might misconstrue what you say while building a case against you.
Moreover, an attorney can ensure that your settlement is not delayed or your case is denied without cause. Our attorneys suggest that you obtain legal advice and counsel at once after your motor vehicle accident before the claims adjuster calls asking for information.
Using an attorney can help you avoid many of the pitfalls used by insurance companies that work to protect their best interest and the interest of their shareholders.
Getting Justice for Your Illinois Auto Accident Injury Claim With Travelers Insurance
The process of filing and resolving a compensation claim through Travelers Insurance can be quite daunting because the Illinois civil tort law requires plaintiffs (victims) to prove how others are legally responsible and financially accountable for their damages.
As the accident victim, you will need to show that others' intentional actions or negligence led to your severe injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one. However, you do not have to go it alone.
