Is GEICO Hard to Deal with in Accident Claims?
GEICO is a very difficult insurer to deal with in accident claims. GEICO has a business model that aggressively focuses on settling claims for as little as possible. This model instructs adjusters to try to resolve cases for less than they are worth.
GEICO adjusters are usually very responsive and easier to get in touch with than some insurance companies. Additionally, GEICO usually calls for monthly status updates whereas many insurance companies do not. Therefore, we expect these frequently status update calls from GEICO and are prepared for them in advance.
Where Is the Geico Adjuster Handling My Claim?
This insurer has regional claims centers. Almost all of the North Carolina claims are processed in the Fredericksburg, Virginia office. GEICO adjusters are still working during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Does Geico’s Settlement Offer Process Work?
GEICO does not give its adjusters a huge amount of authority to work with and the adjuster will likely make you an offer that is some percentage of the power that the adjuster has to settle the case. For your negotiation strategy it is important to consider, the gap between the initial offer and the settlement authority and the settlement authority and the real value of the case.
How Does Geico Treat Low Property Damage Claims?
GEICO is harsher than most insurers when it comes to evaluating cases with low property damage, and for those cases, they may try to avoid paying anything at all. Government Employees Insurance Company, more than other insurance companies, takes a harder approach to evaluating and compensating low and no property damage injury cases.
Do I Need a Lawyer to Handle My Claim?
In general, you are going to be best protected by hiring counsel to represent your interests. If you are seriously injured in an accident, I think it is foolish not to hire a lawyer. Good legal advice, strategy, and skill matters. Even for small claims, a skilled injury attorney may be able to obtain higher compensation for your claim.
