Filing a No-Fault insurance claim can sometimes be a frustrating process, particularly in the event that an insurance company chooses to deny your claim. There are many who rely on the money from their No-Fault insurance claim to cover medical costs and loss of wages due to their car accident. To be denied, or to receive an insufficient amount of compensation, can be a crushing blow. Every day, car accidents occur across the United States. In the event of any motor vehicle accident, two of the most important action steps are:

1. To ensure the safety of all parties involved. Move to a safe area and request emergency medical assistance for any injured individuals; and
2. To exchange contact and insurance information with the other parties involved in the accident, and take pictures of any damage done to your vehicle if it is safe to do so. This is important documentation that will be used in proving the legitimacy of your claim.

About State Farm

As with GEICO, Nationwide, and USAA, State Farm is an insurance company whose inception dates back to the Great Depression. In 1922, George Jacob Mercherle began an automobile insurance company for farmers across the United States. Since then, the company has expanded to offer a diverse range of insurance policies, from homeowners to small business insurance. For half a century, it has been regarded to be one of the top automobile insurance companies in the nation.

In the best-case scenario, individuals who suffer personal injuries due to motor vehicle accidents are able to receive fair compensation for their losses. Unfortunately, there are occasions when insurance companies decide to deny claims. When this occurs, it is prudent to seek the expert advice and legal representation of a personal injury attorney who possesses the knowledge and authority to fight on your behalf to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Even in instances where a claim is not denied, a personal injury attorney can be an invaluable asset, as they will be able to determine the exact value of your personal injury case and will fight to ensure that you obtain the compensation that you deserve.

No-Fault Insurance Claims In New York State

Insurance claims related to motor vehicle accidents are dictated by two factors: the laws of the state in which the accident occurred and the policy of the insurance company. Both the policyholder and the insurance company have standards that must be followed in the event of an accident. In New York State, individuals are required to submit an MV-104 Form to the Department of Motor Vehicles if an accident resulted in more than $1,000 worth of damage or if one of the parties involved sustained a personal injury. In addition to this, individuals who sustained a personal injury as a result of a car accident have the option of filing a No-Fault Claim. A No-Fault Claim provides compensation for lost income and medical costs related to the injury. An NF-2 Form must be submitted to the insurance company within 30 days of the date of the accident.

At the Dietrich Law Firm P.C., we understand the life-changing effects of personal injury. A car accident can permanently alter your way of life. As such, the importance of finding the right representative for your personal injury case cannot be overstated. Our team of top rated Buffalo car accident attorneys is more than capable of representing you. Please call us today at (716) 839-3939 or contact us online for your consultation.

What is a Settlement?

A settlement is an agreement between two parties. An insurance settlement is a formal agreement between the insurance company and their client on a settlement figure. Settlements are sometimes referred to in terms of good versus bad. A ‘good settlement’ is one in which the client is satisfied with the amount offered by the insurance company. The settlement is sufficient to cover the costs of the accident. A ‘bad settlement,’ sometimes referred to as a ‘bad faith settlement,’ occurs when an insurance company refuses to pay a claim without providing a legitimate reason for their refusal. A client always has the right to contest the outcome of a bad faith settlement.

However, it does lead to the question of how you are able to determine when you are receiving a ‘good’ versus a ‘bad’ settlement offer. The honest answer is that in most instances, you will not know when you are being swindled. The only way to be certain that you are receiving what you deserve is to hire the services of a personal injury attorney. Not only will they be able to determine the value of your personal injury case, but they will also fight for you every step of the way until you attain the compensation that you deserve.
