Title: Navigating the Aftermath of a Fender Bender: What to Expect When Awaiting Injury Claims
Following a minor vehicular incident in December 2024, I find myself in a puzzling situation regarding a bodily injury claim. After exchanging information following the collision, the other party promptly sought legal representation and inquired about my insurance policy limits. To preclude any potential lawsuits that might emerge during the discovery phase, I provided them with my policy limit of $100,000.
Despite the passage of several months, communication from her attorney has been noticeably sparse. They have yet to disclose any specifics regarding her injuries or the treatments she may have received. Given the minor nature of the collision—no police were called, there was minimal damage, and the airbags did not deploy—this prolonged silence is somewhat perplexing.
In an interesting twist, I’ve come across information indicating that the individual in question has been actively participating in and winning tennis matches since the incident. Armed with this evidence, I’ve shared screenshots of her matches with my claims adjuster, which raises certain questions about the legitimacy of her injury claims.
As I wait for updates, I can’t help but wonder: Is the delay in communication from her legal team a red flag? Could this work to my advantage, given that I have very few assets to protect? It’s a challenge to navigate the complexities of such situations, especially when vested parties are reluctant to share crucial medical records or details regarding injuries.
If anyone has experienced a similar scenario, your insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. What are the typical timelines for these claims, and how should one proceed when faced with ambiguity around injury assertions? Your guidance could prove invaluable as I navigate this uncertain landscape.
