Many individuals who haven’t had to deal with an insurance company in the past feel like the company will treat them fairly. They don’t have any issues calling the negligent driver’s insurance company because they think they can handle the situation on their own. However, insurance companies are not in business to look out for the best interests of an injured victim; they are in business to make money and to show a profit to their shareholders. For that reason, an insurance company may try to twist the words of the injured victim in an attempt to weaken their insurance claim.
