Are Insurance Companies Fair to Injured Victims?

Anyone who has been injured by another person in any type of accident knows the answer to this question. As a Harrisburg personal injury lawyer, people ask me this question all the time. I always tell people that if someone else injures them in an accident, expect a call from that person's insurance company, and remember, that insurance company does not want to help you.
The insurance company for the person who hurt you does not owe you a duty of good faith or a duty to treat you fairly. An insurance company wants to save its money, it does not want to pay the people injured by their insureds. If treating you, an innocently injured person, fairly will cost the insurance company more money, trust me, they will not do it!
