Paul d'Oliveira attorney from the law firm of d'Oliveira & Associates. The truth about
insurance companies, contrary to the television ads that we see on TV were the insurance companies
portray themselves as always being there ready for you when you need them. My experience
is quite different than that. And why is that? Well insurance companies are corporations,
there owned by stock holders and if you're a stock holder of a company you want to see
the price of the stock go you that's why you bought it. Well if insurance companies just
handed out a lot of money to everybody who was injured then they would make less profit,
it's just that simple. In fact claims adjusters and a lot of companies are bonused by giving
out less than average settlements to claimants, especially people who try to handle the case
on their own. We see a lot of times a sweet talking claims adjuster will call someone
up within a few days after there in an accident and say to them "Oh were going to take care
of you", "Where going to give you a nice quick settlement" and many times not all the time,
but many times the person ends up with a lot less, then what they should have gotten. Had
they done it properly and hired an attorney. Now in some instances, in a small case were
someone isn't injured very seriously and a period of time has gone by and their doctor
has cleared them and said they are fully recovered, we don't have a problem with people representing
themselves, maybe a good thing to do, but in many instances where a person
is seriously injured to try to deal with the insurance company on your own a very bad mistake because these
insurance company adjusters are very well
trained and experienced in handling cases. And there goal is, is to give you the least
amount of money that they can because it makes their companies stock worth more money, if
they have more profits it's just that simple as I stated earlier. So feel free to call
us toll free or online if you have a question about an insurance company and we would be
happy to discuss it with you. We charge no fee until you obtain a settlement or recovery.
Thank you.
