New Jersey Progressive Insurance Car Accident Claim Attorney

Filing a Claim With Progressive Insurance After an Auto Accident

Founded in 1937, Progressive Corporation is one of the leading car insurance providers in the United States. As of January 2021, Progressive carried about 12 percent of all insurance policies in the country and brought in more than $39 billion in revenue. 

From its inception, Progressive insurance company focused on living up to its name by being one of the more “progressive” insurance companies. It was the first to put up a website, allowing people to file claims online. However, Progressive is no different from any other insurance company in that its motives are self-serving. As a result, injured motorists filing a Progressive car insurance claim frequently encounter problems, including the denial of their claims or low-ball settlement offers. 

If you or a loved one were recently involved in a New Jersey car accident, and are dealing with Progressive, reach out to the dedicated personal injury lawyers at the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm. We can help protect your rights as an accident victim and pursue a claim for maximum compensation.

Filing a Claim With Progressive

After getting into an accident, you must first file an insurance claim under your Progressive policy. Once Progressive receives your claim, it will assign the claim to an insurance adjuster. The insurance adjuster’s role is to review the accident and your injuries and extend a settlement offer. When answering questions from a Progressive insurance adjuster, be honest.

Remember that the insurance adjuster works for Progressive and will offer you the lowest amount they think you will accept. You do not need to accept the initial offer. However, once you accept a settlement offer, you agree to stop pursuing your claim. It is essential to retain an experienced New Jersey personal injury lawyer who will fight for your rights. 

If you were seriously injured in a car accident, reach out to an experienced car accident attorney at the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm for help. The sooner you bring an attorney on your side, the better your chances of receiving maximum compensation for your injuries.

Possible Damages in a Car Accident Lawsuit or Settlement

Studies have shown that accident victims who are represented by an attorney recover more for their injuries. However, it is common for seriously injured accident victims to not know the full extent of their damages. This is understandable, as you probably have not been through the process before, and the personal injury recovery process is not necessarily straightforward.

Damages in a New Jersey car accident claim should compensate you for all of the economic and non-economic injuries the accident brought about. While every case—and every accident victim—is different, below are some of the commonly available damages you can obtain through a Progressive car accident claim:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical costs
• Lost wages and benefits
• Decreased earning potential 
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Disability
• Disfigurement
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium

In those tragic cases where an accident results in a motorist’s death, their family can pursue a wrongful death claim. Benefits in a wrongful death claim include the above, as well as the loss of services, guidance and companionship, and the pain and suffering of your loved one.

Why You Should Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer

When you file a Progressive car insurance claim, it is important to remember that the insurance company is out to settle a claim for as little as possible. This is because insurance companies are profit-motivated and want to limit the amount of money they need to pay out on each claim. These companies use their vast resources to hire highly trained attorneys to contest even the most valid claims. 

You do not have to take on the insurance company on your own. At the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm, we know insurance companies’ tactics and can help you level the playing field. Our attorneys have decades of experience helping accident victims recover the compensation they deserve.
