California Pedestrian, Bicycle, Car & Motorcycle & Death Accidents – A Personal Injury Attorney Explains Insurance Company Bad Faith Settlements

As a California Pedestrian, Bicycle, Car & Motorcycle Injury & Death Accident Attorney, one has to ask just how much profit insurance companies need to make to be satisfied. The answer, when one examines the bad faith some are perpetrating today in settling personal injury accident and wrongful death claims, it appears that there is no limit to their greed.

When you get into an accident today, whether it’s your fault or someone else’s, either you or the persons you injure as a pedestrian, on a bicycle, in a car or on a motorcycle are going to be forced to deal with an insurance company that is determined to offer as little money as possible to settle any injury claims.

If you are the person who has been injured in a bicycle, pedestrian, car or motorcycle accident or if you’ve lost a loved one, the worst thing you can do today is to try to settle your claim with the insurance company yourself. While insurance companies consider lawyers to be annoyances, they consider you to be a nuisance and will usually offer you only what they consider to be a “nuisance value settlement.” Once they have the mind set that your case can be settled for such a paltry amount, an attorney’s involvement will not change matters.

Your insurance company will be offering you or the other driver only a portion of the medical bills and a small amount for pain and suffering. If you or they have an attorney, the attorney will have to prevail on the medical providers to slash their medical bills by 1/3 to one half in order to have sufficient money left over for any attorney fees for their time and effort and the frustration of dealing with an insurance company today and to put any money into your pocket or the pocket of the persons injured in the accident.

If you’ve been seriously injured in an accident, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at (800) 589-3202 or e-mail us at our website, www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com If we are contacted early on in a case, we can prepare your case as if we are going to trial. Even though trials today are rare, unfortunately, it is only by preparing your case in such a manner, that an attorney today can obtain the type of settlement you deserve.

As badly as insurance companies treat the people they insure, they treat others even worse. Why should you care about the person you’ve injured? First, it’s the right thing to be concerned about someone you hurt. Second, you shouldn’t be causing them to be frustrated again when they have to deal with your insurance company. And third, when your insurance company tries to stiff them by paying them less than the amount of their medical bills and a reasonable amount for pain and suffering, much less any attorneys’ fees so they can have an attorney deal with your insurance company, they risk making the injured party sue you in order to obtain what is fair and reasonable.

As a result of the determination by liability insurance companies to make as much money as they can for their shareholders and executives, the person or persons who have been injured in the accident, whether those persons are the individuals in your vehicle or the other persons hurt by your vehicle, they will, without an experienced attorney, be forced to accept a paltry amount. Their doctor bills or your doctor bills will have to be slashed (of if there is medical insurance, the right of the medical insurance company to reimbursement will have to be significantly reduced) and your lawyer may have to reduce his or her fees as well or face the expensive alternative of filing suit.

The cause of this entire process is nothing short of bad faith by certain liability insurers who claim on television to be your best friend and who, when you need them most, or when the person you hit needs them most, turn into greedy monsters who refuse to pay more than a paltry amount and who risk having you sued by any person that you injure.

We’ve been handling personal injury cases for over 30 years and the climate in dealing with insurance companies has never been worse. While we’ve settled cases exceeding one million dollars on a number of occasions, it’s the smaller soft tissue cases where a person has significant pain but doesn’t fracture anything or require surgery that can the expertise and an extremely experienced attorney to obtain a good settlement. Having represented insurance companies (until we saw the tactics they use to take advantage of people) we know how to deal with these companies and have been very successful in obtaining millions and millions of dollars for our clients over the years.

No attorney can tell you they have the magic formula in dealing with insurance companies in this climate of insurance company bad faith, scams and rip offs, but we can tell you we do know what to expect, and we know how to counteract the tricks employed by many insurance companies adjusters. After thirty years of experience, we’ve heard all of the insurance adjusters’ lame excuses before and we know how to deal with them.

If you want to obtain what you’re entitled to for your claim, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson today at (800) 589-3202 or e-mail us at our web site, www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com

The solution to insurance company bad faith may be legislation requiring insurance companies to pay a statutory amount from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the size of the medical bills, in order to prevent them from offering less than the medical bills and little or nothing in the way of pain and suffering. The statutory amount can be legislated as being required in any case involving gross negligence, the use of cell phones, alcohol or any of the types of accidents such as rear end accidents and accidents in the rain that are most prevalent.

We encourage you to write to your congress representative. Let them know your experience with an insurance company and ask them to do something about what insurance companies are doing today.

Has anyone gotten a $1 million policy for general liability insurance covering a security company in wisconsin

I am looking into it right now and would like to know what it is going to cost me before checking out insurance companies. if you just a have general round number that’s fine, or if you can provide specific examples that’s even better. Thanks in advance. The compnay I am looking to form is a uniformed security guard unarmed company if that helps.

There are too many variables here to give you one easy answer. It may depend on your loss experience, whether you do background checks of your employees, etc etc. Security services tend to be expensive to insure, because most people don’t provide very good training or do background checks. Call an independent agent, and they will shop around for you to get you the best deal. Also , a $1M GL policy is probably not enough.

Health Insurance Problems – Can They be Fixed

With health insurance issues having moved to the front burner in the recent presidential election, people are beginning to become aware many facts regarding it. This in turn has led to more questions being asked than are being answered. For instance, why is the cost of health care rising twice as fast as inflation? Also, while health insurance costs have risen, why is it that people are generally more dissatisfied with the coverage that they are receiving?

Malpractice Insurance Costs

The medical profession has been undergoing may changes for some time now and many of these changes can and do effect the cost and availability of health care insurance. For instance, malpractice insurance has been on the rise for decades and lawmakers have been unable to institute any type of substantial malpractice reform.

Lawyers Lobbies

Doctors and patients both want malpractice insurance cost to drop but one group in particular has stood steadfast in the way of any changes and that is lawyers and their powerful lobbyists who view lucrative malpractice claims as sacred cash cows.

Doctors Pay Cuts

Then there is a growing shortage of doctors that is plaguing the U.S. health care system. Congress has recently cut Medicare payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients by 10%. So it seems that while Americans are asking more from doctors they are willing to pay less.

Lack of Voter Intellect

Issues such as gay marriage and whether to tech evolution or creationism in high schools seem to take precedent in congress to actual viable health care reform. American mainstream voters wave their flags and attend anti gay marriage rallies at their churches then complain when catastrophic medical expenses leave them living in a trailer, when all they have is their own stupidity to blame.

Professional Liability Insurance Quote

Why Can’t Civil Rights and Religious Freedom Exist Side by Side?
On the Feast of the Holy Family, 2009, I preached the homily for the 10:30 Mass at St. Mary’s. I was aware that the Iowa Supreme Court would be making a ruling in less than seven weeks on the issue of “gay marriage,” and I was quite sure that they would rule under the equal protection of the law clause that you cannot deny a person the right to marry on the basis of their sex.

Oh, Give Me a Home, Where the Home Insurance Quotes Roam

Are you like me – do you love talking about insurance? Well, who doesn’t really? So let’s talk home insurance, and what you need to know when you get a home insurance quote.

Do you own a home? Do you plan to? You are not required by law to have insurance on your dwelling, but if you carry a mortgage, your lender will most likely require it. If you don’t have or need a mortgage (please, please, tell me how you did that! I am but a poor scribe), it remains a wise decision to protect your investment with insurance. Gather up your information and get a reliable home insurance quote.

How do I go about getting a home insurance quote?

For those of you who have read my other delightful yet poignant insurance articles, you know that I always recommend using a reputable insurance agent. No, that is not an oxymoron. And no, I am not an insurance agent myself. When you need electrical work, do you not call an electrician? Or plumbing work, a plumber? When you want to know the ins and outs of riders, floaters, and umbrellas, call a pro. Get a professional home insurance quote from someone who can meet with you, and address your specific needs.

So once I find one of these “shady” insurance agents, what should I tell him?

Now stop it! They’re not all shady. But here are some issues that you might want to discuss with your agent as he prepares your home insurance quote:
1. Coverage for the structure of your home
2. Coverage for your personal belongings
3. Liability protection
4. Additional living expenses in the event you are temporarily unable to live in your home because of a fire or other insured disaster (e.g. rivers of blood, plagues of frogs).
Most people are aware of the first issue – watching the news, we see homes destroyed by things like hurricanes or earthquakes and realize we need to insure the structure itself – but what about the other three? If you live in a home, odds are pretty good that you also own “stuff” that you keep inside your house. This should be insured as well. Many companies will cover your personal belongings for 50%-70% of the amount of your policy. This means if you have $100,000 worth of insurance on the structure of your home, you would have between $50,000 to $70,000 worth of coverage for your belongings. If you have more expensive stuff, like a Renoir, Monet, or Grandpa’s gold teeth, you may want to purchase a floater to cover the difference.

What do I need liability protection for? Isn’t this just another scam so my agent can produce a larger home insurance quote, and get a bigger commission?

Well, it could appear thus, but remember – insurance is protection against the unforeseen. Liability covers you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you or family members cause to other people (I didn’t mean to shoot Joey with that BB gun, Dad), and the liability portion of your policy pays for both the cost of defending you in court and any court awards – up to the limit of your policy, of course. Your policy also provides no-fault medical coverage. In the event a friend or neighbor is injured in your home, he or she can simply submit medical bills to your insurance company.

Okay, okay, and the additional living expenses?

Well, what if your house is gone? What if a twister takes it to the Merry Old Land of Oz? Where are you going to live? This part of your coverage pays the additional costs of living away from home, if you can’t live there due to damage from a fire, storm or other insured disaster. It covers hotel bills, restaurant meals and other living expenses incurred while your home is being rebuilt. Although coverage can vary, and will depend upon the home insurance quote you received, many policies provide coverage for about 20% of the insurance on your house. You can increase this coverage, as well, for an additional premium. Make sure your home insurance quote details this for you.

Anything else I need to know before I get my home insurance quote?

There’s tons of stuff. But I can’t address it all in this article. However, consider these things as well when your agent gets your home insurance quote for you (you do now have and agent, don’t you?):

-What type of home insurance quote do I need for a co-op or condo?
-What types of disasters are covered?
-What’s the difference between cancellation and nonrenewal?
-How can I save money?
-What information do I need to provide to my agent so he can provide me with an accurate home insurance quote?
-What if I can’t get coverage?
-How often should I review my policy?

Your agent can help you with these and other questions as he prepares your home insurance quote for you. See, now…wasn’t that fun?
