Las Vegas Car Accident victims face Lowball Offers From insurers, Attorney Warns
LAS VEGAS, NV – A local personal injury attorney is sounding the alarm on what he says is a persistent trend of insurance companies undervaluing car accident claims, leaving injured Nevadans struggling to cover medical bills and other losses. The issue, according to attorney [Attorney Name – implied from context, Murphy], stems from practices adopted following the economic downturn of the early 2000s, and continues to impact settlements today.
“People call us constantly asking, ‘What is my case worth?'” says [Attorney name]. “They need to know if an offer from the insurance company is fair, or how to even make a reasonable settlement demand.”
Historically, a common benchmark for claim valuation was three times the amount of medical expenses incurred.Though, [Attorney Name] explains that following the Las Vegas economic crash, insurance companies began significantly reducing settlement offers, capitalizing on the financial hardship faced by accident victims.
“They knew people were hurting for money and needed cash quickly to cover bills,” he stated. “Rather of acting fairly, they drastically lowered payouts, and unfortunately, those amounts haven’t recovered.”
The attorney highlights a particularly frustrating scenario: insurance companies now frequently offer less than the total amount of medical bills, even in cases where liability is clear. “Imagine being in a crash where fault isn’t in question, and they won’t even cover your medical expenses. How is that fair?”
[attorney Name] emphasizes that individuals facing such situations should seek legal counsel.”The only thing you can do in a situation like that is call an attorney. Get some help.” He notes that while frivolous lawsuits receive public attention, the questionable tactics of insurance companies often go unnoticed.
Anyone seeking guidance on navigating a car accident claim is encouraged to contact [Attorney name] for a consultation. He offers to walk individuals through the process and assess the value of their claim.
