What Happens to the Person, Persons or Company that Caused My Injuries?

After the incident which caused your injury, the person, persons or company that you claim may be responsible for your injury was contacted by the insurance company. Either the person who caused your injury or a representative of the company who caused your injury gave statements and reports to the appropriate insurance claims adjuster. Such statements and reports were probably recorded and there are most likely written reports or transcripts of such statements.

After the insurance company’s initial investigation, there is usually little or no contact between the tortfeasors (the person, persons, or company who caused your injury) and the insurance company. In other words, the insurance representative usually does not keep the insured advised about day to day progress in the case. An exception may be medical malpractice cases. Therefore, the person, persons or company who caused your injury is probably going on with their daily lives, hopeful that the case will simply be settled by the insurance company with little or no involvement on their part. Apart from giving a statement the tortfeasors will not have any further involvement in the matter unless you file suit against them.
