Combating Low Impact Insurance Claims
Tuesday, April 17, 2024
Time: 1:00 PM ET
​
Frustration is what we hear throughout the industry, when confronting bodily injury claims emanating out of low impact collisions. The damages are so minor, common-sense screams no one could have been injured. Yet, insurers settle these claims every day for substantial sums, because liability is clear, or they want to avoid litigation expenses. This presentation provides a process to attack these suspect claims at an early stage, with a consistent investigative and dispositive strategy. Focus is not centered on the analysis of medical records concerning treatment of subjective complaints of soft-tissue injuries. Rather, the presentation assesses the element of “causation” and the credibility of the claimant. Attendees will be provided with a clear game plan on how to approach these claims that will contain costs, reduce indemnification, and avoid litigation.
