While Rodney D. Young is not the largest insurance carrier in the United States, it still covers many drivers on the road. Typically, regardless of their size, insurance carriers will attempt to settle for as little as possible. Often they will only offer to pay your medical expenses, or a portion thereof.
Without a skilled personal injury attorney, you probably will not be offered much money from an insurance adjuster. Additionally, unless you have a lot of experience in this area, you will not be able to negotiate effectively and put pressure on Rodney D. Young Insurance to pay the same way an attorney would.

Negotiating claims with insurance companies is not something that most people do regularly, which means that it is critical to have an understanding of how this process works in order to not be taken advantage of and settle for less than you are entitled to.
Gather Your Documentation
Get all of your documentation together before you present a demand. Some of the documents you will need are the accident report, medical records and bills, photographs of your property damages, receipts, pay stubs and other documentation to prove your lost wages, and photographs of your injuries and of the scene of the accident. Get records from your doctor that detail all of your injuries, as well as a prognosis of any permanent injuries. Your doctor needs to say that your injuries are related to the crash.
Know What Your Floor and Ceiling Are
In order to negotiate effectively, you need to know what your floor and ceiling are before you start the negotiation process with Rodney D. Young Insurance. The floor is the lowest amount you would ever accept. Your ceiling is an amount that you could never reject. If you do not plan ahead, you will likely give away too much negotiating power to Rodney D. Young Insurance adjuster.
Make a Demand
After you compile all of the information, you need to make a demand. The demand needs to be strong and above your case value, but not one that will offend Rodney D. Young Insurance. Many times, the first demand is for the insurance policy limits. If you demand too high, the Rodney D. Young Insurance adjuster will not take you seriously.
Never forget that the primary job function of the Rodney D. Young Insurance adjuster is to settle your case for the lowest amount. They are pressured by Rodney D. Young Insurance to ensure that not too much money is paid out on claims each year.

It is ultimately in your best interest to have an experienced personal injury lawyer in your corner. Any car accident can be complicated. As you can see from above, there are many things that have to be considered when negotiating your claim with Rodney D. Young Insurance. Many claims also must be filed in court and potentially tried in front of a jury to get the highest amount. If you do not negotiate with that in mind, you will likely settle your case short.
Rodney D. Young Insurance adjusters are trained to investigate the angles of a case from the beginning. They will likely ask you to sign authorizations to dig into your medical history to see if there is any history of pain in the same area. They will use that information to discredit your claim and make it look like the injury was pre-existing or that you were malingering.
A skilled personal injury attorney knows how to negotiate a settlement and work on a claim with Rodney D. Young Insurance. A personal injury lawyer also knows what documents and records the other side will be entitled to, and will provide only the bare minimum allowed and object to anything else.
