Insurance company excuses for not providing fair compensation after an accident
Mar 18, 2022
Insurance companies often have a multitude of excuses regarding why they will not pay for an injury that resulted from an accident. At Sarkisian Law Offices, we deal with their excuses and get results, so you can can focus on healing.
Common Excuses from Insurance Companies when dealing with injury claims
When a family experiences the serious injury or death of a loved one, they often try to work with an insurance company without the assistance of an attorney. All too often they learn the hard way that insurance companies offer excuses instead of fair compensation. The following is a list of common excuses used by insurance companies, whether in the claims process or at trial:
Excuse No. 1: “Even though there are witnesses who say you did nothing wrong, we have a paid expert who will testify against you and say you were negligent in causing the incident which resulted in your injuries.”
Excuse No. 2: “No independent witness saw what happened so we are not going to believe your side of the story.”
Excuse No. 3: “Even though the doctors and therapists treating you have verified the serious nature of your injuries, we have paid one of our doctors to review your medical records and examine you in this case. He will testify that your injuries aren’t as serious as your doctors think.”
Excuse No. 4: “We have paid one of our doctors to review your medical records and examine you in this case. He will testify that your injuries were caused by something other than the incident in which you were involved.”
Excuse No. 5: “We have paid one of our doctors to review your medical records and examine you in this case. He will testify that you were not injured in the incident. Your problems were caused by the natural aging process.”
Excuse No. 6: “We have paid one of our doctors to review your medical records and examine you in this case. He will testify that you had a pre-existing problem and the incident had nothing to do with the problems you’re having now.”
Excuse No. 7: “You stayed off of work too long. We have paid one of our doctors to review your medical records and examine you in this case. He will testify that you could have returned to work sooner than you did.”
Excuse No. 8: “Your fractures have healed and we will not compensate you for the arthritis which has formed because, sooner or later, most people get arthritis.”

If you sustain a serious injury, insurance companies will swoop in and offer you money to settle your claim. The amount may seem substantial but compared to what you might get in court, it is negligible. Agreeing to this initial offer means that you are settling your claim for way less than what it is worth and you cannot go back to ask for more.
As you take care of the aftermath of the accident, this settlement offer adds extra confusion. The reality is, this initial settlement offer from the insurance company will only be a fraction of the full extent of the damages you suffered.
People who have had a limb amputated often experience phantom pain or sensation that seems to come from the part that is no longer there. Doctors and patients alike have known about this phenomenon for a long time. However, it is only fairly recently that medical science has begun to gain an understanding of it.
Countries around the world now report that most of their bicycle fatalities overwhelmingly involve men. The same is true in America, where cycling has grown in popularity over the past few years.
Have you ever been in the position of filing a legitimate insurance claim only to discover that you are not able to get the benefits that you thought were covered under your policy? Unfortunately, far too many Americans realize this experience after it is too late.
