Once you receive a lowball settlement offer, politely reject it, remain calm, ask for a written explanation, and document everything.

Insurance companies delay car accident claims even when fault is clear to earn interest from the funds set aside for a payout, bring the claim near the statute of limitations, and push the claimant to accept a lowball settlement offer or quit pursuing the claim altogether. Delays in a Chicago car accident claim can lower your settlement value by weakening evidence and allowing insurers to dispute liability or damages. Crucial steps you can take to protect your rights when an insurance company delays your accident claim include recording every interaction, carefully examining your insurance policy, and seeking legal support.
