Northbrook - Chicago Illinois Car Accident Lawyers

Recovering from a car accident involves both physical and financial challenges. Serious head, neck, and back injuries result in lost wages, the need for months of additional medical treatment, and a loss in quality of life. At the Orzoff Law Offices, our attorneys work with accident investigators, medical experts, and economists when determining the cause and impact of a car accident. We act immediately to protect our client's rights and interests in any communications or dealings with insurance companies. Our attorneys review any and all communications, documents, and settlement offers to ensure you don't sign or say anything that could jeopardize your right to seek full, adequate compensation for your losses later in court.

Insurance Claims Adjusters - Who (or What) Calculates Your Losses?

Insurance companies are "for profit" businesses, who must answer to shareholders and investors. In order to reduce costs and increase profits, a number of insurance companies employ cost-reduction training programs which teach claims adjusters how to "control costs" and reduce claim amounts. Most insurance companies use a claims software program called "Colossus" to calculate claim amounts. The amount calculated by Colossus depends on variables entered by a claims agent and pre-set algorithms used by the program itself.

As a result, non-economic losses (pain and suffering) are not considered and human judgment is reduced to a minimum. Were variables associated with long-term physical therapy taken into account? Were costs associated with medical complications considered? What if you are unable to return to work - will Colossus accurately calculate the lost wages involved? And, what about fatal car crashes - what methodology is employed then?

Being Prepared when a Claims Adjuster Calls - Protecting our Clients

At Orzoff Law Offices, our attorneys have the knowledge needed to expose the shortcomings of Colossus and calculations offered by claims adjusters. Working with experienced economists and life care planners, we present cost-data analyses associated with various kinds of injuries collected by HMOs and the insurance industry itself.
