We believe that it’s wise to seek out a consultation with an injury lawyer even for small No Fault claims, because a lawyer will be able to provide some helpful advice or may be able to get you more money than you would have been able to get on your own, but we understand why some feel like they want to handle the process on their own.

Denials – Even though No Fault claims tend to be more straightforward than other injury claims, that doesn’t mean you’re always going to have your claim approved by insurance. In fact, a fair amount of claims are denied for one reason or another. Don’t let this be the end of your story! Connect with a lawyer and let them sort through your reason for denial and make adjustments to your claim to ensure it is eventually approved.

Delays – Insurance companies rarely act quickly, especially if they are going to be on the hook for a payout, so agents may look for any way to delay payment or extend a case. We understand that bills may be piling up and your financial situation is taking a hit because you’re waiting for your claim to be processed, but don’t make a bad decision or rush to settle. Talk with a lawyer if your case is taking too long or you believe the insurance company is not getting back to you in a timely manner.

Policy Limits – If it’s at all possible that you will hit your policy limits when filing a No Fault claim, talk with your lawyer before moving forward. If you find out after filing a claim that your No Fault claim will not cover the extent of the damages you incurred, you need to speak to a lawyer right away.

Dispute Of Facts – Talk with a lawyer if you uncover a dispute of facts along the way. If the insurance company is contesting a portion of your claim, or a police report has clear inaccuracies, you’ll want to bring a legal professional on board to address the issues so that these lies don’t serve as a basis for whether or not your claim is awarded.
