This CNN report documents how insurance companies intentionally deny and delay claims to discourage people injured in accidents from filing claims.

The insurance company slogans are memorable... "You are in good hands." "Like a good neighbor." Anyone who regularly reads a popular magazine or who watches primetime television knows these slogans belong to Allstate Insurance and State Farm Insurance. These two companies are singled out in the above CNN report for intentionally denying claims, delaying the payment of claims, and vigorously defending legitimate claims in court to discourage accident victims from filing claims.

Every year insurance companies spend millions of dollars advertising that they are "good neighbors" and that those who are injured and make a claim are in "good hands." If you have filed a claim against one of these companies, you likely know the truth, that the pain of your injuries was just the start. Oftentimes, the stress, anxiety and frustration of dealing with companies such as Allstate and State Farm can be as painful as your injuries from the accident.

Fortunately, the lawyers at Hupy & Abraham, S.C. are here to help you take on these companies. We have a long track record of aggressively pursuing cases against Allstate, State Farm, and dozens of other insurance companies. There are some personal injury attorneys that do not try cases. They simply push their clients to accept the insurance company's best offer. Our lawyers show the insurance companies that we mean business by successfully trying cases on behalf of our clients. Here are examples of how we have been able to assist clients facing Allstate and State Farm Insurance.

We recently tried a case against State Farm Insurance where they denied a claim for our elderly client, who slipped on ice and fell outside her apartment. Throughout her case, State Farm denied the claim, and refused to accept responsibility or compensate our client for her broken bones. Their denial continued despite the fact that the apartment maintenance manager testified that our client complained about the ice outside her apartment before the day she fell. The apartment complex responded to this complaint by putting a 50-pound bag of salt outside the client's door. A Milwaukee County jury returned a verdict for our client in the about of $135,000, which was $135,000 more than State Farm Insurance offered our client as her "good neighbor."

In another case, our client filed a claim against Allstate Insurance for minor injuries sustained in a car accident. Instead of fairly evaluating her claim, Allstate low-balled her claim. Several months later, in court, a Court Commissioner awarded our client several thousand dollars for her injuries. Instead of accepting the decision of the Commissioner, Allstate appealed, and offered our client $1000. After a jury trial several months later, a Milwaukee County jury returned a verdict for our client for $5000, and including the expenses Allstate incurred by delaying and defending the claim, the ultimate recovery by our client was almost $8000.

These are just two examples of how Hupy & Abraham, S.C. goes the extra mile for our clients. If you have a personal injury claim and are frustrated by insurance company tactics such as those in the CNN report, please contact us.
