Insurance Companies Will Argue That Your Medical Treatment Was Unnecessary or Excessive

Unfortunately, the insurance company will probably argue that some or all of your medical care was not necessary. It's as if they don't believe anything you or your doctor says about your injuries. One of the reasons is insurance adjusters commonly tell us that our client's injuries are not consistent with the damage sustained by the car. It's not like these adjusters are biomechanical engineers on the side, they just don't want to believe your claimed injuries. Another topic upon which they voice skepticism is the necessity of diagnostic tests. If your doctor orders an MRI that turns out to be negative (which is good news for you health-wise), insurance adjusters commonly argue that the expensive MRI was not necessary. But come on, how would the doctor know unless you had the test done? If the doctor believes an MRI was medically necessary, why does the adjuster doubt it?

The length of your medical treatment is another area which insurance adjusters often dispute. If you went to the doctor for seven weeks and the adjuster thinks you should have been fully recovered within four weeks, the adjuster will ignore the last three weeks of your treatment and refuse to pay for it. We could go on and on, but you probably get the point.
