Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It - A Great Read Says Experienced Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer
I recently read author Jay Feinman’s book Delay, Deny, Defend and give it a 5 star review. As an experienced Philadelphia car accident lawyer since 1979, I have been combating insurance companies with great success and have been well aware that an insurer’s main objective is not to protect you but to avoid paying justified claims in the name of profits. Unfortunately the tactics of an insurance company force claimants to enter into litigation to fight on even ground and thankfully, from a selfish perspective, the law firm of Reiff & Bily has been extraordinarily successful representing injured claimants who were wrongfully denied their rights by insurance companies.
Professor and expert Jay Feinman explains in detail the infuriating and systematic abuses insurance companies use to delay, deny, and defend against your claims. He explains how computer programs arbitrarily cut the settlements offered to automobile accident victims on a take it or leave it basis. He notes how claims adjusters receive cash incentives to reduce the amount paid by the insurance company on each claim. Professor Feinman shows you how to fight back, explaining how to choose a carrier that won’t take advantage of you, how to file a claim so that your provider cannot avoid paying you, and what to do when your insurer disputes your claim. He also details steps that lawmakers need to take to protect consumers and thwart aggressive and abusive tactics. As the book’s folder indicates, no matter what advertisements say, your insurance provider is not your friend or your good neighbor. You need to be smart and savvy to deal with your insurer and Delay, Deny, Defend tells you what you need to know.
I highly recommend this book.
