According to a survey by Lawyers.com, less than one-third (30%) of respondents received nothing for their personal injury claims. After the filing of an injury claim, the insurance company will be required to investigate the reason for the claim, negotiate with the plaintiff, and settle the claims fairly and in good faith. Surprisingly, some insurance carriers deny personal injury claims without any valid reason or negotiate unfairly or with bad faith tactics.
