I'm just curious why GEICO call's me about an accident from 2017 and they asked if they could record me I said sure and I asked if I could record the same conversation and they hung up on me ? That's so rude I seriously don't understand why anyone ?

I agree ClockFixer. I am in Canada and my son has been battling insurance for over 3 years after he broke his neck in a very serious rollover. We can't afford a lawyer. Even though my son was earning $59 an hour, they have put him through the wringer. I commented just above you...it's a doozy! I hope you haven't had to suffer at the hands of Insurance companies also.

I am so sorry that is happening to you, my son too feels the same way, in our province he was in a vehicle with the highest package policy, a no fault insurance. So far he has been severely abused by this system, he broke his neck and they wanted him back at work 6 months later. He suffers PTSD his head was smashed into the ground and the vehicle as it went end over end repeatedly. With such force his neck was broke but they are denying he had a head injury! In this no fault system here, so far he is the only one that is being blamed! I sure hope your company stops treating you like the criminal and my son too!

For your sons sake you have to keep fighting they want you to give up and push you to see what they can get away with. They cut me off my LTD in June 2018 contacted my work and informed my work I was returning, try getting a call at 8am from your work wondering where I am. It's criminal the way they treat you but they know they push 10 people to the brink 9 will give up and head back to work when clearly they shouldn't.tell your son NOT TO GIVE UP KEEP FIGHTING.

Great video. I was a victim of a hit and run in Los Angeles. I have a dashcam of the accident and the driver fleeing the scene. I was able to get a license plate number and file a police report (which takes up to 45 days to be approved). My insurance didn't fight for me, law enforcement didn't help me and the at fault insurance is claiming 60/40 without viewing video. I unfortunately gave a statement to both insurance companies but I feel the video should trump all of that. My representation says if they give me 90% then they'll take it which still won't satisfy me because everything on video is clear. My insurance closed the case saying that I have 0% liability. What should I do and what should I tell me current representative?

Dear MattLaw: Thank you so much for sharing. I am in Canada and I sure wish you were in my city :( I am a disabled 49 year old woman, in 2015 My Eldest son Dan was in a serious MVA rollover. His seatbelt failed, his head had smashed through the glass, hitting the frame and he was crushed repeatedly into the ditch as the little car went end over end. He survived and is a walking miracle he was determined to not let a broken neck stop him from his goals. Just prior to the accident he was just recovering from a left torn shoulder labrum, a work injury that he had to fight for months to prove and he finally got surgery. He was determined to get back to work as a Journeyman Electrician. He was pushed very hard and just six months after the car accident and reinjuring his shoulder, breaking his neck, severe issues with his back, legs, arms and left ankle. He was deemed ready to go back to work! People who break their leg often get longer times off. His body was definitely not ready and an appeal ensued. Even though my son walked after that horrific accident and was doing very well, just 8 months after the accident he was severely abused by the very hospital that had saved his life only 8 month's earlier. He has been stuck in a Nightmare ever since. In 2016 he had what was believed to be H1N1 and he was given an antibiotic known to cause issues for some people. He was very sick for two weeks he was unable to sleep well, was dehydrated, vomiting etc. Two weeks into his flu he had a long awaited appointment to see a a new Dr. to address the PTSD he was experiencing from his MVA. He was doing his best to deal with it but felt he needed counselling and had to prove to the Provincial Auto Insurance that he did in fact have PTSD. He refused to reschedule his appt. because he had waited months. The Dr. having never met him, not aware of his baseline and not being told he had the flu decided he was in need of Antipsychotics, she advised the family Dr. to prescribe these meds and within 3 doses my son was taken by police and ambulance to a local hospital. He was severely adversely reacting, through errors entered by the exhausted ER Dr. they forcibly detained him for 6 weeks, imposed several more medications that he reacted to severely. We have a Genetic disorder that at the time was not fully diagnosed yet but the Dr.'s would not even acknowledge this. The Disorder causes us to not metabolize many Pharmaceuticals. The Dr.'s completely ignored his history, they kept telling us we were in denial they didn't even believe he broke his neck. We immediately felt they had wrong information in the file. We requested repeatedly to have access to my son's file and we were delayed till several weeks after he was released 6 weeks later under an illegal Community Treatment Order that was filled out wrong. If my son were not living this, I would not believe it myself. We found out there is another patient with the same name who is a regular Psychiatric Patient and know now that they confused my son with this other patient. A referral was even sent for the other patient with my sons phone number on it a year and a half after we got him away from the illegal CTO order and the forced medication that took several appeals in a very biased appeal system run by the hospital and for the hospital. The patient 'appointed' lawyer informed us she has been there 7 years and there is only a 2% chance of patient's winning their appeals. Clearly we chose not to go with the 'appointed' lawyer and the biased panel was very frustrating but we won and 6 months of abuse stopped but the PTSD skyrocketed. My Son is very Tired, our Rare disorders have gotten the best of me. I am fighting on my own. The file has not been addressed properly. My son was cut off 2 years ago from any further payment despite him finally receiving a proper PTSD diagnosis in 2017 almost 2 years after the accident. Despite the long waited diagnosis of the rare disorder Ehlers Danlos Syndrome a connective tissue disorder that was not acknowledged by many physicians and had severe detrimental effects on my son. The medications he was forced are highly contraindicated with our Genetics and complaints are going in with the College of Physicians for several Dr.'s. My son is at his breaking point and I am doing my best to fight for him, I have brain lesions and am very weak, I don't know if my health will hold out. We pleaded with them to get this to appeals so my son can finally rest his very broken body that will never mend because of genetics and the forced physio that further damaged his tendons and ligaments. Of course and the Spin Dr.'s now are now shouting Pre Existing condition. Uh no! Prior to the accident he didn't even know he had this, the injuries are caused from the accident. EDS did not cause his injuries....omg they sure do grasp at any straws. Well I just thought I'd share this in the hopes of maybe you have a Cousin up in Canada who happens to be a Darn good Lawyer that you could Highly recommend. I know I'm now grasping at Straws but when you's Po Folk up in Canada it's hard to get a Lawya even when you got all the Defence in the World! Well I keep Hoping cause now after 2 years stalling, just like you Said Mr. Matt Law the Insurance company wants another Independent Medical Exam done and want to send the Hospital file to the Psychiatrist. The insurance company knows he has PTSD they have exacerbated him as he is now seriously in debt and about to lose everything. The File is full of errors right from the MVA accident report saying the car did a 180 and reversed into the ditch! From beginning to end the file is riddled with errors. I am sorry I am just so overwhelmed I have reached out all over the world but clearly we are touching to many nerves in our Gov't. Cause I have called so many places, emailed etc. No one replies. Or when they do they say sorry hope you can find help for your son. So that ends my story of a Young Man who had everything he was on top of the world and he was going places! Most Dr.'s are pretty mad when they hear he was making $59 an hour and double time on the weekends. Now he makes nothing and can never...no wonder the insurance company doesn't want to pay him out!

Very informative & offers me (hopefully) an initial tactic to push back on the insurance company. Woman hit my older (paid for) truck and subrogating through my insurance company who wants to total my truck for a paltry settlement sum. They even boast a link to their "...Auto Buying Program..." where vehicles of similar age, mileage, and model show several examples 4x the cost of their initial settlement offer. If I even negotiate their offer to total the vehicle up by double I still am, at best, halfway to replacing my vehicle.

Good for you for doing your research and not letting them push you around. You might tell them you will keep your vehicle. But don't let them have the title, they will probably try to say your car is totaled and only worth salvage, and this may affect your ability to get a tag.

The insurance company is saying my car damage isn't big enough yet I never in my life had these injuries prior. I lost my job, my health insurance and now they want me to pay for treatment. I am emotionally drained and feel like I am getting nowhere and totally screwed. There are so many people who lie and cheat and yet I am in pain and this has ruined a huge portion of my life yet I'm not getting help. It has been 8 months and I can't find someone to actually fight or someone who has the sense of urgency. I don't know what to do and I'm desperate .

Sorry to hear about your injuries Angelina. But there are good trial lawyers out there that will fight for you. The best way to find a good trial lawyer in your area is to look up the results of the jury trials in your county. Most counties have a local bar association that keeps track of each trial. Find this information, and then call the lawyers that are trying cases in your area. They won't be afraid to try a low property damage case. Good luck with your health and your search for a trial lawyer. Matt

Thanks Matt for breaking things down in this video. My sister's vehicle was stolen and vandalized but recovered with severe damages two weeks later. At first the insurance adjuster had agreed to pay the full amount of the estimated damages, but delayed until 9 weeks later she requested for more documents to know whether there may have been any mechanical conditions from when the car was bought up to when it was stolen, Of course there was non. Then the adjuster refused to respond and an one of their appraisers promised to make two third of what the adjuster initially promised and later refused. Two days later, the adjuster emailed her that she's mailing a check that will cover only about 10 percent of the damage cost. Is it cost worth getting a lawyer for a $2k damage? If so, can a lawyer's cost be charged and paid by the insurance company in the suit? Or can she file a suit by herself considering if she would have to pay a lawyer. Your opinion please.

Hi JMJ, The answer is yes, it is worth it for her to hire a lawyer who would sue her own insurance company. Because in most states, when you have to sue your own insurance company, you are entitled to attorney fees. I am in the process of writing a book to help people like your sister. It will explain the steps she needs to take to file suit on her own. However, the way you explained this to me, I do believe she can hire an attorney who will work on a contingency fee. Good luck. Thanks for the good questions.

Why would after a settling with the at fault party to its maximum limits(limited liability release) would the plaintiff's own underinsured carrier want to still depose their own insured ?

They typically take the deposition of their insured customer to challenge the facts of the crash, and more importantly to challenge the injuries and the causation opinion by the doctors. They look for ways to blame other people or things for your damages.

We are in the "discovery" process, and my own insurance company claims they cant depose until February 2019, they recieved answers in August 2018 🤔 needless to say I think they're full of crap and it will probably end up in jury trial. *on a sidebar, your video was informative, thanks again.

Neo, there are reasons you should change your policy when you move from one state to another. Some states have different insurance requirements. Usually, your insurance company does business in both states, so you don't have to change insurance companies, but you may have to get a new insurance policy with the same insurance company.

I was rear ended while sitting at the red light in 2016 , everything Your said about the 3 Ds are happening to me. My attorney is not being truthful. I went to several chiropractors because the impact affected my back. I have documentation from my doctors who treated me. I took pics of my car. The other person got my car fix. I have to attend mediation and the persons insurance refuse to pay for my loss wages, medical bills. I was the victim and this is a bad situation for me. I think the best thing to do is go to court. I pan to refuse the offer during mediation because I already as you mentioned they are looking at the impact of my car versus bodily injury. All this time from 2016 til 2021. I am very upset can I call u for advice. Mediation is next week . I am in SC , or could you offer me advice about what I should do during mediation or should i just go to court. I am not willing to drop this and take a offer. The other person had Geico and my attorney is saying the person max is 25000.00 I believe it’s way more than this, I never saw any documents for the other persons insurance. Then my lawyer told me if we go to court that I would have to pay for my chiropractor , people from my previous jobs to speak in the court room for my side, I don’t believe this is true. Why would anything come out of my pocket and this is not my fault at all. I’m not sure of my lawyer, what can I do?

Hello there Matt. I have waited for almost 2 years to hear anything about my claim..I have 6 ruptured disks in my back and 2 bulging disks in my neck. I've had to pay for medical treatment on my own and have bills that are now in collection..bills that the insurance company should be paying in Lou of the at fault driver..who admitted full fault on the scene. I'm in pain. Lost my job because I can no longer work physical labor. There are things that happened that aren't right and I've had to point these things out. Ive reached out to the people who are supposed to be taking care of the situation but my calls are hardly ever answered. I've been so stressed out and depressed because of all of this. I've searched and searched high and low to find SOMEONE I can talk to who will give me sound advice. Advice that comes from years of knowledge and advice that comes from someone who knows the ins and outs of this industry so I can have SOME kind of relief in knowing my questions can be answered. Is there anyway to speak to you personally? I called the number provided but was unable to reach anyone. I don't have a whole lot but I'll pay just to speak with you. You are the first person I've watched who has echoed my exact thoughts on the process. If I may speak with you please let me know how. Thank you. @mattlaw

They want all of the information to go one way, and that is toward themselves, and not to you. Interestingly enough at least in Florida, if someone takes a statement from you, you have the right to a copy of it. They never seem to send a copy. This is why it is so important to have a lawyer who asks for things and quotes the statutes that give you the power to learn things like what are the policy limits, and how to get your own statement.

Their insurance made me pay 30 percent for an accident that WASN'T MY FAULT. My lawyer is fighting hard for me to get back everything I paid and more, but her insurance company keeps making up lies about what happened that day and why they are advocating for their insured. At this point, I feel I need to take the lady to court, sue her for damages and medical bills and let her insurance pay. Do you think this is best solution?

I bought auto insurance through Geico yesterday, the insurance started immediately the same day, and within 90 minutes of driving the car off the lot fully insured, I break down on the side of the road. I call Geico for a tow truck, and they told me the insurance doesn't go into effect until the next day. So I paid them $200+ upfront, only to have to pay $100 to the tow truck driver. This should be illegal to do, because I paid them for auto insurance, they said it went into effect immediately, yet they turned around and changed their story when I needed them. So if I got pulled over yesterday and was asked for proof of insurance, and I provided it to the Police Officer, would I be arrested for driving without Insurance? That's screwed up. It's sad we live in a day and age where money is supposed to talk and bs is supposed to walk, yet we get crapped on after coughing up money.

The laws about where you file your suit may vary from state to state. In Florida you can file suit anywhere any one of the Defendant resides or has a regular place of business (if a company) or where the accident happened. In Florida, we can only sue the insurance company directly when we are suing our own Uninsured / Underinsured motorist insurance company. Your question asked if you could sue the insurance agency. In Florida, we are not allowed to name the insurance company directly for the negligence of their insured, we have to sue the actual car owner, or driver, or employer and not their insurance company. It seems strange that we can't sue the insurance company, but a long time ago, the legislature in Florida passed a law saying that we were not to name the insurance company as the defendant because it might give a jury the feeling that since we are suing an insurance company, the jury might award more money.

The new tactic being taken by many insurance companies is to deny 100% of the fault even though it is clear that their insured was totally at fault. This is a new trend which is saving the insurance companies millions if not billions. This works because many lawyers won't file suit and go all the way to trial. Talk to your lawyer and tell them you want to file suit and move forward with your case. If they are jerking you around now, why not get the ball rolling where you will have control of your case, rather than trying to convince and adjuster that they should accept 100% fault. Go get checked out by good doctors and talk to your lawyer. Good luck. Matt

A water leak in my condo unit spread down to my neighbors unit. There is a battle between my homeowners insurance and the HOA insurance both insurance companies are saying the other insurance company needs to pay. I think the HOA insurance should pay the bulk of the repair because the bylaws say I'm only responsible for maintaining the inside of my unit/I'm not responsible for my neighbors unit, the Washington State Condo act says the HOA is the primary insurer and I pay the HOA way more per month than I pay the homeowner insurance company. One of the insurance companies will have to pay because I don't have enough money to pay the repairs out of pocket, if they throw the cost on me the repairs won't get done. The sad thing is if I hadn't been paying the HOA $436 a month for the past 3 years I probably would have enough cash to pay these repairs out of pocket. I'm frustrated because its been 2.5 weeks now, mold is starting to grow and the 2 insurance companies can't seem to reach a compromise. I really wish I did not live under a HOA and only had to deal with 1 insurance company dealing with 2 insurance companies is impossible. One of the insurance companies is trying to say I was negligent but the water leak was an accident I was not trying to cause damage. I'm selling my condo at a slight loss as soon as this repair is done. I realize that once I get out of the housing market I won't be able to get back into the housing market but this insurance mess has left me more stressed than I've ever been in my life and I'd rather rent then deal with another mess like this one. I'm in the process of converting a Van into a camper maybe I won't need to rent.

Sorry to hear about your dealings with HOA and Insurance companies. Both are quite unpleasant to deal with at times. Good luck to you finding a way to avoid both of them.

Hey Matt I’m dealing with American Access Casualty company. I was rear ended and liability is very clear. The driver was a young teenager with no license. Their driver is at fault, they are only accepting 50% fault. What should I do. My car is totaled, I have lost my job and nearly lost my apartment, I’m 19 years old.

In my case it looks like the insuerer that hit me is not responding to their imsurance personal but they have been at 100% fault. It says their insured have not responded to their contact attempts. I have the address of the person who hit me. Can I send them an official letter of a civil suit because they refuse to comply with their story?

Hello I was involved in a car accident with 4 cars involved. Luckily I was the first one but three cars behind me they not. I been hit from the rear,I believe car behind me should take fully responsibility for the impact. Now my insurance says because its multiple cars involved the claim can take at least three years. Always when I ring them for more updates they keep told me same story:I notice third part and wait for their answers. So nothing on reality. What should I do. I pay already my excess to repair my car1000£ plus suspended two non claim years plus plus. I'm more than a victim and my insurance the one who get money from me every single month and suppose to sort out the full case they delay they wait for other part response and bla bla. The accident was happening in 10 of November 2018. Thank you for your article. Was very helpful.

Talk to your insurance agent and ask them why your deductible is so high. If you really have a high deductible, they still have to pay anything over the $2,000.00.

If you told your insurance agent what you wanted, and they did not get you what you wanted, they are on the hook. But some of the insurance companies try to sell you the minimum mandatory insurance and they call it "Full Coverage" but it not even close.

I am a car insurance claims handler in the UK. I can't believe how different the system is in the USA. We get praise from our managers if we settle a claim quickly and we get a company wide shout out and put in for a prize draw if we pay our policy holder within 24 hours of notification of the accident!

You errrm forfgot to say that offers from insurance companies are way way lower than they ought to be, always, in my experience; they want desperate (often poor) people to 'accept' so they can close the claim at rock bottom price and move on to making yet more money out of us; they dump us & walk away if we have nobody to help us fight the case - as happens to most of us if we aren't wealthy.

What are you supposed to do when the person admitted full liability at the accident and now they are interrogating the other person who got hit? Also what if the insurance company is denying the claim and now you have to go to a deposition to defend yourself when you weren't at fault in the first place? Then what? Then what you do if you want someone to take a second look at the medical records and everything else is there a person you can contact for that?
@MattlawAttorney
@MattlawAttorney 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Angelina, when the at fault person starts interrogating their victims, this is because they don't want to pay as much as the injured person is asking for. The defense insurance company is trying to reduce the payment for the damages caysed. I suggest you hire an attorney to help you.

I never had an accident before but today in the gas station when I was leaving while I was adjusting my mirror I hit a mini Jaguar fender and a little bit of the front bumper with my truck Titan, the car was parked and nobody was inside but honestly I didn’t reach to see it with my blind spot of my passenger’s side mirror I only have liability so I told the guy that I know is my fault and I gave my insurance information Even when it was a little damage I know that this is a very expensive vehicle. Because is Friday I have to wait until Monday to see what is going to happen. Just nervous because not idea how much is going to cost the deductible and I also feel bad for the another person car because he didn’t do anything wrong. But and also feel worried because I’m just an average financial person. ¿Did somebody have a similar situation like me?
@MattlawAttorney
@MattlawAttorney 11 ай бұрын
Your insurance company should work with the owner of the Jaguar's insurance company and come to a resolution of the claim. You likely will not be informed of the settlement. You can talk to your adjuster and ask them to keep you updated. The bottom line is you can relax because your insurance company is supposed to handle this for you.
