Filing a Claim Against Your Own Insurance in Las Vegas

Are You Filing a Claim Against Your Own Auto Insurance Company?

If you are a responsible driver, you carry the required amount of auto insurance, plus pay a little extra for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The American Insurance Institute figures that as many as 15 percent of drivers on Nevada roads are uninsured or underinsured, ranking as high as 10th in the nation* most years.

But just because you act responsibly by carrying additional insurance, it doesn't mean your insurance company will appreciate you more when it comes time to file a claim for property or injury damage against your UIM policy. You are likely to face as many hurdles by your own insurance adjuster as you would if you were a hostile claimant seeking compensation from another driver's insurance.

If you were in an accident involving an uninsured or underinsured motorist or are seeking payment from a single car accident, you will be up against a team of experienced, skilled insurance defense lawyer. At Harris & Harris Lawyers, we level the playing field. We handle everything about your claim, from initial investigation through gathering records and reports and negotiating a full and fair settlement. Because we focus exclusively on motor vehicle accidents and are selective in the types of cases we accept, we have the resources necessary to thoroughly investigate and prepare your claim. We are not a car accident settlement mill. We will not accept your case unless we are highly confident that we will help you recover the money compensation you are seeking from your own insurance policy.
