Dealing with USAA After an Accident
As is the case with other insurance companies, the goal of the United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is to make money—and one of the ways it does this is by limiting how much it pays out in claims. USAA will do everything it can to try to reduce or deny your claim, including using your own words against you.
If you are dealing with auto insurance companies after an accident, our skilled personal injury attorneys can stand by your side through each phase of the negotiation process to raise your chances of securing a successful outcome and fair compensation. With the skill and experience of the Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers team working in your favor, you can avoid being taken advantage of by USAA. We have what it takes to fight for the full and fair compensation you deserve.
What to Know About USAA Claims Adjusters
If you have been involved in an accident and are seeking compensation from an insurance company, you should know that insurers like USAA do not have your best interest at heart—they are focused on their own bottom line. They may make a lowball settlement offer, downplay your injuries, allege pre-existing conditions, claim you were at fault, or slow down the investigation process to discourage you into accepting a lower offer.
Once you file a claim, USAA will assign your claim to an adjuster. The adjuster will investigate the facts and circumstances of the case before making an initial settlement offer or denying your claim.
Adjusters will likely try to get more information than necessary to process your claim, including by getting you to make statements that undermine your case. For instance, they may construe an apology for the accident as evidence of fault. By working with our experienced personal injury attorneys, you will have skilled legal professionals on your side to protect you from the underhanded tactics adjusters use to avoid paying fair compensation.
Do I Need a Lawyer for USAA Insurance Claims?
It is crucial that you consult an experienced attorney before speaking with USAA about the details of the accident. Our Virginia car accident lawyers have decades of experience handling USAA claims and can guide you through the claims process to maximize your chances of achieving a fair settlement.
Because of the manipulative tactics used by USAA and its adjusters, you will likely receive an initial settlement offer that is far below the actual value of your claim. Our lawyers are here to calculate your full damages and aggressively negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
You can count on us to defend your rights throughout the insurance claim process, working to get you the compensation you need and serve. When you choose us to handle our claim, we will:
- Ensure you know your legal rights and options
- Communicate with insurance adjusters on your behalf
- Gather all available evidence
- Counter wrongful allegations of fault
- Consult with medical, financial, and automotive experts
- Appeal your claim if denied
- File a lawsuit and take your case to trial if needed
- Fight for maximum for your injuries and their impact on your life
