Judgment
Getting a favourable judgment from an insurance company is probably the most important part of all the work one has to do with their insurance. After all the time spent selecting a reputable company, a good package and ensuring one's protection against accidents and theft, finally the insurance is being put to the test. The act of making sure that the claims filed are properly upheld is a tough one, and in many cases an insurance company will reject or delay a claim outright if it is filed incorrectly. That is why every possible effort should be made to process a claim in the correct way so that compensation can be obtained within the shortest amount of time.
Each insurance company has their own methods and criteria for filling out an insurance claim. Paperwork is the most important aspect of filling out a claim correctly. For an auto insurance claim, the paperwork usually required is the insurance ownership proof and all relevant papers, a filled out and signed police report, photographs of the vehicle, medical bills as well as quotes from one or two mechanics. Depending on the nature of the claims and the modus operandi of the insurance company, the papers required will be different, but that does not change the fact that the better organize the papers are, the higher the chance of a successful and favourable judgment.
There is another aspect to judgment, and that is a lawsuit against an uninsured third party. An insurance company will not pay up for damages caused by an accident in which another person is at fault unless the claimer has underinsured protection; which is the law in many states. In the event that this is not enough compensation, an individual may consider taking legal action against an uninsured third party who caused property or bodily damage. This course of action, although it may seem the logical approach, is not recommended by some experts for the simple reason that an uninsured individual is usually uninsured due to a lack of finances and assets.
This means that money and time will be spent filing a lawsuit and even if the court rules in the favour of the prosecution, there is a good chance that the defense will not have the assets or finances required to pay for damages incurred. Even if the insurance company pays for legal fees, this results in an increase in premiums for the prosecutor, so it is generally not the best idea. However, should the decision be made to seek a ruling by a court of law, keep in mind that this task involves a lot of money and time; although with potentially high benefits.
