Back Injuries - Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses that must answer to shareholders. As a result, they have a financial interest in trying to minimize the amount they pay in claims. In the case of back injuries, a number of strategies may be employed to reduce the amount they pay and injury victim.
For example, an insurance doctor may be claim that your injuries are from a pre-existing condition or are not as severe as stated. In other cases, claims adjusters using the claims software program, "Colossus," may not take into consideration costs associated with pain and suffering, future disability, or chronic pain.
