What qualifies for dismemberment?

In the medical field, dismemberment is a term used to refer to loss of body parts and their functions. You do not necessarily need to lose a limb, the loss of a function of a body part still qualifies as a dismemberment.

Dismemberment Statistics

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

There were 24 million Physician office visits for unintentional injuries within one year
There were 200,000 injuries deaths within one year
A large portion of these deaths were caused by unintentional falls, car accidents, and unintentional poisoning.

What is accidental death and dismemberment insurance?

If your loved one has been dismembered or passed away in a catastrophic accident, you may be able to recover compensation from an accidental death and dismemberment insurance policy. This is a specific type of insurance policy that insurance companies offer. Insurance companies may try to downplay their liability, and may initially deny your claim. Even if the insurance company has denied your claim, you may still be able to recover compensation from the insurance company under a bad faith insurance claim.

We understand the importance of the insurance proceeds and needing to pay funeral expenses, since the loss of a loved one leads to a reduction in household income. While you focus on grieving, we will focus on making sure you get the compensation you deserve. It is important to note that accidental death and dismemberment insurance does not cover natural causes. This is different from a life insurance policy, and accidental death and dismemberment only applies when the loved one has been involved in an accident. Examples of the different types of accidents include:

Car accidents
Truck accidents
Bus accidents
Metro accidents
Electric scooter accidents
Sports accidents
Construction accidents
Pedestrian accidents

Dismemberment claims and lawsuits could get very complex and tricky. Almost always insurance companies will deny their liability. Many do not even know that they may have a claim for their dismemberment and death policy, and must notify the insurance company about the accident. Our experienced accident attorneys will take care of your claims for you, and make sure that the policy does not lapse.

What is the difference between accidental death and dismemberment insurance and life insurance?

An accidental death and dismemberment insurance policy only pays for death or dismemberment that is caused by an accident. A life insurance policy pays out regardless of whatever the cause was for the death. This means that if you have lost your loved one in an accident, you will recover from a death and dismemberment insurance policy and a life insurance policy. If your loved one has passed away due to natural causes, you will only be able to recover from the life insurance policy.

Why should I hire an experienced attorney?

Not having an attorney will make you vulnerable to the insurance company and adjuster. Insurance companies and adjusters will offer a low settlement offer, and try to use your statements against you. Contact our California dismemberment attorneys today to get the compensation you deserve.

What will happen with my dismemberment lawsuit?

Usually, personal injury cases will end up settling rather than going to trial. When settlement negotiations are not agreed on, the parties then will prepare for trial. But, preparing for trial could be very costly, and could be a gamble when trying to figure out whether or not you will win the judgment. Usually, insurance policies will cover:

Injury to the body part
Paralysis
The change in living circumstances

It could be very challenging dealing with insurance companies. Our attorneys are on your side every step of the way.

What are examples of insurance bad faith tactics?

Insurance companies will engage in a variety of tactics to downplay their settlement offer as much as possible. Examples include:

Alleging that the policyholder filled out the application incorrectly
Alleging that the policyholder lied on their application
Alleging that the policyholder is not eligible
Alleging that the policy has lapsed
Alleging that the death was not caused by a natural cause, rather than an accident

Our top rated accident attorneys have decades of experience dealing with insurance companies and their tactics. If you have dealt with bad faith tactics by the insurance company, you may be able to recover the accidental death and dismemberment insurance proceeds, along with insurance bad faith damages. Insurance bad faith damages include a variety of damages such as the emotional distress, and punitive damages associated with your claim.
