Low Settlement Offers After a Chicago Car Accident: What They Mean and What to Do Next
Once you receive a lowball settlement offer, politely reject it, remain calm, ask for a written explanation, and document everything. Low settlement offers are a common tactic insurance companies use to reduce the actual claim value after a Chicago car accident. The insurer exploits your vulnerability and limited legal knowledge to trick you into accepting a payout that does not cover the full scope of your damages or losses.

Why Insurance Companies Delay Car Accident Claims Even When Fault Is Clear
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.

Chicago Uber & Lyft Laws: Who Pays After a Crash?
Under Chicago Uber & Lyft laws, who pays after an accident depends on the status of the driver’s app. If the app is on, the rideshare company’s liability policy pays. If the app is off, the driver’s personal insurance covers damages and losses arising from the accident. If another driver was liable, that driver’s insurer will be responsible for covering the arising costs and losses.

In a Motorcycle Accident? Let Your Helmet Call for Help!

Posted By:

After a motorcyle accident or bicycle accident, your helmet can call for help through a sensor which will be available in 2013. When the ICEdot Crash sensor detects an accident, it will send a message complete with GPS coordinates to the user’s emergency contacts via a smartphone application.

The device is expected to cost around $200 and we consider that a pittance compared to the piece of mind it will give those who ride alone.

Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) is always happy to report innovations in roadway safety. Given the propensity of bikers to be knocked unconscious during accidents, we think this new sensor could be a life-saver.

Remember-it is always best to stay safe, but if you can’t stay safe, stay with Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law), Chicagoland’s Injury Lawyers for over 30 years.
