Often, injury claims are handled by insurance companies. Generally speaking, insurance companies agree to pay for car accidents and other injuries involving their clients. After all, this is the reason people spend the money on insurance in the first place. But, as an insured claimant, it's important for you to read and understand the fine print in your insurance contract. There are times when insurance companies make mistakes, and if the claimant is uninformed, he or she could lose out on a benefit that was promised in the contract. Being well-informed about your insurance policy and contract will ensure that your legal interests are protected. FindLaw's Injury Claims and Insurance section provides general information about injury claims and insurance law, as well as the common types of insurance that are available to people. In this section, you can also find articles about the basic steps for filing an insurance claim, what a subrogation action is, and protecting a settlement from an insurance provider.
