No Proof, Who Pays? The Insurance Nightmare After an Accident
Insurers require clear evidence to assign fault and determine payouts, with uninsured motorist coverage protecting victims when at-fault drivers lack sufficient insurance.
- When you file an auto insurance claim, insurance companies and claims adjusters may delay, deny, or reduce payouts without verifiable evidence, CheapInsurance.com explains.
- Immediately after a crash, post-crash confusion and missing police reports in parking lots often leave drivers to gather evidence from nearby businesses or homeowners with surveillance cameras.
- Adjusters reconstruct the crash by analyzing driver and passenger statements, vehicle damage and photographs, and may use event data recorder and accident-reconstruction experts for complex claims.
- Adjusters assign fault percentages under state-specific negligence laws, so a 20% fault reduces a claimant's payout by 20%, while over 50% may bar recovery entirely.
- Claimants should refuse quick offers, as adjusters often propose low settlements before full damages emerge; UM/UIM coverage aids when the at-fault driver is uninsured, while photos, medical care, and journals preserve proof against insurer tactics.
