Invariably, personal injury and wrongful death cases involve insurance companies. In the claims process, insurance companies have always held a big advantage over the insured; they have the money, you don't. Insurance carriers, armed with a battery of legal and forensic experts and extensive resources used to investigate and handle claims, have often projected a "David and Goliath" image when dealing with an insured challenging the settlement of his or her claim. Typically, the insured does not understand the claim process until a loss occurs. Without foreknowledge of the policy, coverage, exclusions, and interpretations, the insured feels helpless when presented with the carrier's interpretation and settlement offer. Oftentimes, the insured recovers far less than what the policy provides. At William G. Pintas & Associates, Ltd., our attorneys know the games that insurance companies play, and are well versed in the interpretation of insurance policy language and litigation of insurance claims. In fact, we have successfully handled many claims that other firms rejected due to their lack of knowledge about other avenues of possible compensation. We handle insurance issues involving:
