Description

Think the insurance company might not be playing fair? You're not alone. In this episode, Andrew Iacobelli of Iacobelli Law Firm breaks down five common tactics insurers use to devalue personal injury claims—like downplaying injuries, shifting blame, and stalling the process. These strategies aren’t accidental, insurance companies use them to protect their profits by limiting payouts, even if it means offering unfair settlements or delaying compensation. If you suspect your claim is being undervalued or you’re feeling pressured to settle, speaking with an experienced personal injury lawyer can make all the difference. They’ll help you recognize these tactics, stand up for your rights, and fight for the compensation you truly deserve.
