Some cases can be quickly resolved through settlement negotiations with an insurance carrier. An insurance claim may be the best option if your injury keeps you from working for a few days but is not life-threatening or debilitating. However, even submitting a claim to your own insurer may encounter unforeseen difficulties.

Insurance firms make every effort to verify your claim in order to avoid paying out on bogus settlements. Paying out claims can be tricky with the insurer because their business is built on saving money wherever they can. The insurer will also use the statements you made against you to reject or lower your final settlement.
