Since an investigation is a significant portion of handling any insurance claim, it may take as many as four to six weeks until completion. A thorough investigation could take longer if the claims adjuster lacks information or the accident was incredibly complex. You can help keep the process moving by responding to any requests for additional information from your Atlanta insurance claims lawyer or the insurance company as quickly as you can.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often attempt to drag out their investigation process to confuse or frustrate the claimant. If they succeed, the claimant might miss the statute of limitations or even lose the desire to pursue their claim. Insurance company tactics like this frequently allow them to indirectly shirk their obligation to pay on a claim.
Even if you’ve already filed your claim, you can still hire an Atlanta insurance claims attorney. It doesn’t matter where in the process you are, as long as you have not accepted a settlement offer. Many times, claimants hire us after waiting far too long to even receive a settlement offer from the insurance company. They know that the insurer is intentionally dragging their feet. They want the protection and backing that our legal representation can provide them.
