Background for State Farm Insurance

The mutual company was started in 1922 by retired farmer George Jacob “G.J.” Mecherle. He had a vision of operating fairly and doing the right thing for their customers. The small office has grown into the largest personal auto insurer in the United States. The insurance giant started by helping Americans manage everyday risks and recover from unexpected events. It has expanded its product offerings from auto insurance to encompass a broad range of other insurance and financial products. 

Today, it services more than 82 million policies, offers nearly 100 products, and processes approximately 35,000 claims a day.

State Farm is  best known for their slogan,  “like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.” 

How do I know if the First Settlement Amount is Unreasonably Low?

The first settlement offer may come within a few days after the accident. At this point, you likely do not have a clear understanding of how much medical care you need. 

Adjusters often let you know that they are trying to expedite your case so that you receive payment quickly. In reality, they may not know how much your case is worth yet. Depending on the severity of your Cooper City car accident, it may be days or weeks before you know how much medical treatment and physical therapy you need. An experienced attorney at Cecere Santana can work with the adjuster assigned to your case for a reasonable settlement.

How do State Farm Insurance Adjusters Decide on their Offers?

Insurance adjusters often begin contacting car accident victims shortly after the crash. They may even come to your hospital room. The conversation may be used against you later to minimize the settlement amount you are due. As a result, you should not share information without an experienced legal representative. 

The adjuster may ask you to sign official documentation. It might seem harmless, but the paperwork may include permitting access to your medical records and history. This can be used to show pre-existing conditions, which can reduce the value of your claim.

Before signing any paperwork presented by the insurance company, schedule a consultation with a personal injury attorney from Cecere Santana.
