How an Attorney Can Help with an Erie Insurance Claim in Ohio
There are several steps to take after any event warranting an insurance claim. As the Insurance Information Institute (III) suggests, you may be busy with:
- Repairing damaged property
- Relocating
- Figuring out the specifics of your insurance policy
With these (or other) challenges taking up much of your time, you may still have to tend to your daily responsibilities—whether it’s your job, children’s needs, or otherwise.
Having an attorney handle your insurance claim could provide much-needed relief. While you work on getting your life back in order, our team can:
Study Your Insurance Policy
When it comes to insurance claims, the policy generally has final say. Virtually every aspect of your coverage should be spelled out in the policy, and our team will scour policy documents from front to back. After reading and interpreting the policy, we should know exactly what your policy covers, and what it doesn’t.
Identify the Exact Amount of Coverage You’re Entitled To
We will compare your policy with the damages you’ve suffered. We may do this by:
- Observing the damage you’ve suffered firsthand, whether that means visiting your damaged home, viewing a damaged vehicle, or taking other necessary steps
- Speaking with you about your damages
- Photographing and videotaping all damages
- Valuing each damage you’ve experienced
We will make a comprehensive record of your damages, their values, and whether your insurance policy provides coverage for each.
Handle Communications with Erie Insurance
Erie Insurance will be an integral partner in completing your claim. We will handle all communications with them. These communications are often recorded, and we’ll protect you from saying anything that might be detrimental to your claim’s success.
Negotiate for Fair Insurance Coverage
The claims process may ultimately arrive at a negotiation. Generally, insurance companies don’t offer the exact amount that the client deserves right away. We will work hard to negotiate the financial recovery you’re entitled to, no matter how long it takes us.
Insurance claims are rarely quick or easy. Our firm will represent you, meaning that we’ll handle all headaches and challenges that arise during the claims process.
Even If Their Intentions Are Good, Insurance Companies Don’t Always Cooperate
Insurance companies don’t always act in bad faith. However, Erie Insurance doesn’t represent you—it represents itself. By hiring our firm to help with your claim, you’ll allow us to protect you from:
- Allegations that you, rather than the insurance company, are liable for your damages
- Unnecessary delays in your claim
- Unfair denials or limitation of your claim settlement
- Pressure to accept a quick, low settlement offer
- Inappropriate questions
- Any other questionable insurance tactics
We have seen honest mistakes undermine an insurance claim. Simply being polite—by apologizing to the insurance company, for example—could be used against you. Our team will advise and represent you so that you’re not exposed to such threats.
