The Insurer's Playbook

Context: Auto Insurance

Car insurance claims often hinge on "liability" (who is at fault) and "valuation" (what the car is worth). State laws heavily dictate how fast they must pay.

Their Strategy

Attrition. They expect you to give up after the first denial letter. 40% of people do.

Your Counter-Move

Persistence. A formal, evidence-backed appeal shifts your claim from the "auto-reject" pile to "needs legal review."

Strategic Analysis

Breaking Down Your Denial

"Liability Dispute" (Not Our Fault)

In car accidents, they say their driver wasn't at fault, or *you* were 51% at fault.

Evidence is Key:

  • Dashcam footage.
  • Witness statements.
  • Police Accident Report (PAR).
  • Don't accept their first decision. Adjusters often default to "50/50" when facts are unclear just to save money.

The Path to Victory

Execute these maneuvers precisely. Timing is everything.

Level 1 Protocol
01

"Obtain and carefully review the police accident report (PAR)."

02

"Gather all witness contact information and written statements."

03

"Retrieve any dashcam, security camera, or traffic camera footage."

04

"Get a professional accident reconstruction if the claim value justifies it."

05

"Write a formal dispute letter addressing each point of their liability analysis."

06

"Escalate to your state's insurance department if they refuse to reconsider."

Intel Recap: Common Queries

What is the 'Golden Rule' for missing documents?↓
Never assume they have what you send. The 'Golden Rule' is to create a Transmittal Letter that lists every single page you are submitting. If you send 50 pages of medical records, list them as: 'Exhibit A: ER Records (12 pages), Exhibit B: MRI Report (2 pages)'. This makes it legally impossible for an adjuster to claim they 'never received' a specific page without looking incompetent.
Should I call my adjuster to see what's missing?↓
You can, but it's a trap unless you follow up immediately in writing. Adjusters are trained to give vague answers like 'we're just waiting on some records.' Instead, send an email: 'Per our conversation, you confirmed that the ONLY missing item is the Police Report. If there is anything else, notify me in 3 business days.' This locks them into a specific deficiency.
What if the doctor's office refuses to send the records?↓
Under HIPAA (in the US) and similar patient rights laws globally, you have a legal right to your own records. If the office is slow, don't ask them to send it to the insurerβ€”pick it up yourself, scan it, and send it. You are the only person who truly cares about your deadline.
How do I handle 'Summary Bills' vs. 'Itemized Bills'?↓
Insurers love to deny based on 'summary bills' because they can't see the individual charges. Always request the 'Superbill' or 'UB-04' (for hospitals) which contains the specific CPT codes. If the insurer can't see the codes, they won't pay the dollars.
