How Insurance Companies Work

 

Insurance is a business that involves pooling funds, or premiums, from a large group of people to pay for the losses that a few may incur.

Like any business, insurance companies work by bringing in more money than they pay out. Their main expenditures include payouts to customers, and insurance companies
operate under the statistical principles that predict larger collections of premiums in any given year than payouts.

Statistically speaking, in most years, insurance companies are in a position to make large profits. But when disaster strikes, if the insurance company has not planned ahead to manage claims or its cash reserves, then policyholders may be hung up in the system or denied claims that they rightfully deserve.

Even though insurance is a heavily regulated industry, insurance companies do not always act ethically or in a timely manner.

Nevertheless, insurance companies are supposed to act in compliance with strict laws, and in utmost good faith in the interpretation of their policies. It is unlawful for an insurer to:

  • Engage in unreasonable delay; to put their financial interests ahead of the financial interests of the policyholder; or to lowball (underpay) claims
  • Use deception or trickery in sales or claims handling
  • Compel an insured to hire an attorney in order to be paid what they are owed
  • Treat the policyholder unfairly

Just as statistics don’t always predict reality, insurance companies don’t always act in compliance with the law or in good faith. Many people who have paid their insurance premiums faithfully for years or decades are stunned by the lack of response by the insurance company after they make a property damage claim.

Policyholders may become frustrated and angry because little information is given to them on how to actually ensure that their claim is expedited. They are not told how to maximize their claim because (with due respect to the insurance company), the insurance company has little interest in volunteering information that will enable you (the insured) to get the most money.

If your insurance company has left you high and dry or is giving you the run-around, talk to us. We’ll be glad to help you get the attention – and payment – you deserve.

Stay Focused

Don’t give up in the pursuit of your claim if you get a denial. Just because an insurance company says they are not paying you, doesn’t mean your claim is over. In fact, most of the clients we work with have already had an unfair denial, and we’ve successfully won millions of dollars in settlements on their behalf.

  • Be aggressive. This does not mean you should be overtly hostile or unprofessional in working with insurance companies, but it does require you to be persistent, direct and to-the-point.
  • Enlist help. Hire professionals who know the language of insurance claims documentation and processes and who will help you build the best case. If you need additional help, Storm Help Team will take over the process and fight on your behalf.
  • Don’t settle for less. If the insurance company tries to offer you a low settlement, don’t be tempted to take it out of desperation. You may be leaving thousands of dollars on the table that are rightfully yours.
  • Don’t give up. Apart from the professionals at Storm Help Team, no one is more committed to getting your money than you. It’s yours to lose if you give up.
