Shady Moves Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know

Learn the secret tactics insurance companies use to minimize settlements and how to protect yourself from their games.

Blame, Bully, and Lowball: Inside the Insurance Playbook

Car accidents are the most common type of personal injury case, but they're also where insurance companies use their dirtiest tricks. They'll try to blame you for the accident, minimize your injuries, or pressure you into a quick settlement before you understand the full extent of your damages.

  • Car and truck collisions

  • Motorcycle accidents

  • Hit-and-run accidents

  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist claims

  • Multi-vehicle accidents

  • Commercial vehicle accidents

What to Do in the First 24 Hours

  • Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor

  • Document Everything: Take photos of injuries, vehicles, and accident scene

  • Preserve Evidence: Contact businesses for surveillance footage

  • Get Witness Information: Collect names and contact details

  • Don't Give Statements: Avoid recorded statements to insurance companies

  • Contact an Attorney: Get legal advice before making any decisions

Why Time Matters:

Evidence disappears quickly after an accident. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, witnesses become hard to find, and physical evidence gets cleaned up. Acting fast protects your case.

Insurance Company Tactics Exposed

Quick Settlement Trap

They offer fast money hoping you'll accept before understanding your injuries' full impact.

Blame Game

They try to make you partially responsible for the accident to reduce their payout.

Delay Strategy

They drag out your claim hoping financial pressure will force you to accept less.

Minimization Tactic

They downplay your injuries and argue you're exaggerating your pain.

Surveillance Intimidation

They hire investigators to follow you, hoping to catch you doing normal activities.

What's Your Case Worth?

Most accident victims have no idea what their case is actually worth. Insurance companies count on this ignorance to offer lowball settlements. Use our settlement calculator to get an estimate of your case's value.

Factors That Affect Value:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)

  • Lost wages and earning capacity
