This forum cracks me up sometimes. Send the insurance company a letter putting them on notice? Yeah, that'll scare them into doing the right thing.
From my experience, it boils down to the luck of the draw with the adjuster they assign to your case. Sure you can argue with them, point things out, tell them they're wrong, etc. but you'll end up losing.
Be nice, point out your concerns to the adjuster, and take what they give you. Unless you want to spend thousands hiring a lawyer trying to be made "whole."
I'm sorry you were in an accident, accept it, move on, get camping again, and enjoy life.
Disagree. If you don't get satisfaction there are plenty of law firms that will be more than happy to take your case. You won't pay unless you win. And they won't go after them for small change either, because they're getting 35-40% of the judgement. If that adjuster doesn't want to settle with you, Dewey, Cheatham, & Howe will be happy to represent you.
Have you or anyone you personally know actually done this? Everyone's seen the ads on tv, but I don't know a single person that has used any of them. If it were really that "easy", everyone would do it every time they are in an accident. The insurance companies would have learned long ago that they couldn't get away with low-ball payouts, and we would all be made whole every time without having to get a lawyer involved.
