Three Ways to Collect After Being Denied

Being in a car wreck is a pain, but it’s even worse when you have to hassle with your insurance company over the claim. Then you find out it was all for nothing – the insurance company has denied your claim. What do you do now? All hope is not lost; you can still collect after the insurance has denied your claim, consider each of these three options.

File a claim with the other party’s insurance – All states require liability insurance. If your insurance has denied your claim, the other driver’s insurance may be liable for damages caused to you in the wreck. Obviously, you need the other party’s information to file a claim, so make sure you get their insurance information after a collision.

File small claims case – When you have a small claims case, or anything that is less than $4,000, you don’t even have to hire an attorney. Filing a small claims case is actually quite simple and instructions can be found here. Just make sure you file before the statute of limitations expires.

Go to civil court – When damages or medical costs exceed that of a small claim, you may file a case against the other driver. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney will greatly increase your odds of recovering damages.

Of course, you can always hire a personal injury attorney that will fight big insurance companies to get the money you deserve.
