Will the Insurance Company for the Person Who Caused My Bicycle Accident Dispute the Claim?

If liability in your bicycle accident case clearly rests with the insured person who caused the injury, the insurance company will try to settle your claim. They will generally only dispute your bicycle accident injury claim if one of the following is true:

* The insurance company contends that their insured was not at fault in your bicycle accident. They could believe that you caused the accident, or that the accident was caused by some other third party.

* The insurance company contends that you were not injured in the bicycle accident, or that you were not injured as badly as you claim. This includes cases in which the insurance company believes that you or your witnesses have lied about or exaggerated the nature and extent of your bicycle accident injuries.

* The insurance company contends that you or your witnesses have lied about how the bicycle accident occurred.

How Can I Convince the Insurance Company That My Bicycle Accident Injury Claim Is Valid?
