Settle-It-Yourself Newsletter
Hello! Welcome to
the October edition of Settlement Central's Newsletter. We are pleased to share
this newsletter with you, as our business is helping people get satisfactory
settlements for their personal injury claims.
In this month's
issue we will take a look at conformation letters written to insurance
adjusters. We want to encourage claim holders to make a record for themselves so
that there can be no question later as to where you stand on various issues that
will arise during settlement of your insurance claim. Making a record of your
conversations now can increase your settlement award down the line.
As always, we will
post our articles on our website as they are sent out in the Settle-It-Yourself
Newsletter. Our readers will have a rich resource available to them, our
hands-on battles with the insurance companies translate into useful and accurate
information for our readers.
===================================================================
Throughout the
progress of your treatment and personal injury insurance claim, you will receive
a number of calls in which either the first party insurance adjuster or third
party insurance adjuster tells you something, promises you something, agrees
with you on something, or passes along some information.
You will want to
confirm each such statement and make sure the other party is bound by what was
said in the conversation. As soon as they hang up, make your notes. Then write a
simple letter including your notes confirming what the insurance adjuster said
or promised.
Don't worry about
how your letter looks or spend time on making a fancy letter. Just put a few
sentences together including what was said, make a copy for your own files, and
send off the original to the other party to your conversation. You can send it
via e-mail with a printed copy via mail for the most impact. Otherwise, use
e-mail or send a printed version, but always make sure that you do have your own
copy in your file.
