CHICAGO CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS ASSISTING WITH TRAVELERS INSURANCE CLAIMS
45+ YEARS EXPERIENCE REPRESENTING IN RECOVER MEDICAL EXPENSES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE COMPENSATION
Travelers Insurance is one of the largest automobile insurance providers in the industry. Started in 1864, Travelers has merged several times and broadened its insurance base, but it continues to focus mainly on car insurance. While this company has been around for over 160 years, it is not always an easy insurer from which to collect full compensation. Many consumers report their claims being denied or minimized.
Filing a claim after an automobile accident can be complex and time-consuming. You may additionally struggle to obtain the coverage you need without the help of a licensed car accident attorney. At Stein & Shulman, LLC, our Chicago car accident attorneys have assisted hundreds of clients with claims against Travelers Insurance. This insurer offers policies across Illinois, making it one of the main insurers we see. We help our injured clients to obtain the compensation they need to cover their medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and other damages stemming from the car accident.
ABOUT TRAVELERS INSURANCE
Travelers Insurance was founded in 1864 when a business person met a banker. The banker asked the business person what he would charge to insure against an accident while walking a short distance. The business person proposed two cents, and the banker safely walked home. Later, this same business person founded Travelers Insurance. Travelers evolved over the years, merging with the St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. In 2007, it changed its name to The Travelers Companies, Inc. and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Today, Travelers provides automobile accident insurance to individuals and businesses, along with home, personal property, and specialty policies.
ACCUSATIONS OF BAD FAITH
Travelers growth has come with several claims lodged against it for bad faith. Recently, a lawyer representing a car accident victim claimed in federal court that Travelers intentionally tried to hide a million-dollar policy that would have paid for his client’s medical bills. This is just one of many complaints filed against the company. Those who have been forced to seek coverage through Travelers report experiencing delays, denial of their valid claims, and low-ball settlement offers.
MAXIMIZING COMPENSATION FROM TRAVELERS INSURANCE
If you have been injured in an accident, it is important that you recognize Travelers, like all insurance companies, does not have your best interests at heart. Travelers operates for-profit and will do what it can to minimize its payouts. While your insurance adjuster may be friendly, you should keep in mind that he or she is not on your side whenever dealing with the insurer.
Before accepting a low settlement offer, you should consult with a car accident attorney who will evaluate your case and determine its true value. Your attorney will consider the strength of your case and the extent of your damages to reach a fair settlement amount. He or she can then fight to achieve the coverage you need.
