Most consumers only experience with the insurance industry is through contact with their insurance agent. When a claim occurs most individuals reach out to their agent to help them through the claim process. Unfortunately insurance agents are merely salespeople for their insurance companies and do not handle claims. Insurance claims are handled by insurance adjusters. All insurance companies maintain claims departments with very knowledgeable highly skilled claims adjusters whose primary responsibility is to settle claims. These adjusters are usually career employees who have been trained by their respective companies to adjust claims in the light most favorable to their companies. Bottom line: Their job is to attempt to save their company money in the settling of YOUR CLAIM!

The law in most states requires insurance companies to pay claims promptly. However insurance companies have the right to investigate claims and frequently invoke certain provisions of your insurance policy that delay the claim process. During the claim process the insurance company has the right to demand certain documents from you and may require a sworn statement from you before addressing whether or not they will honor your claim. Failure to provide certain documentation and to appear at the statement requested by your insurance company may severely jeopardize your claim. Many times the insurance company adjuster will request for you to provide an examination under oath at their attorneys’ office. Without proper representation seemingly innocuous questions have implications and may elicit responses that will jeopardize the value of your claim. A prolonged investigation can delay your claim at a crucial time when you need to get your business back on track.
