Nationwide Denies Bicycle Accident Claim

Nationwide denies bicycle accident claim due to contributory negligence, despite eyewitness’ credible account.

Nationwide Denies Bicycle Accident Claim

My client was hit by a car while riding her bicycle in Maryland.

Nationwide denied my client’s claim because their insured said the Maryland accident was my client’s fault.

When I met my client at her home to do her intake, she advised that there was a witness.  I ordered the Maryland police report and the witness’ address, name and telephone number were included.

My office tried contacting the witness, but had no luck.

We then hired a private investigator to find the witness.  Our investigator found witness, took her back to scene and got a written statement – the accident was clearly NOT my client’s fault.

I provided the favorable witness statement to Nationwide, along with my client’s medical bills and records.

Nationwide’s response: We sent the witness a letter to verify her story, but haven’t been able to reach her, so we’re still denying the claim.  You should just file a lawsuit.

I pointed out that we had to take some extra steps to find the witness and that just sending a letter wasn’t enough.  Again, I was told I should just file suit.

Folks, the insurance companies and their adjusters are NOT on your side.  Don’t be fooled.  Their motto is: Deny. Delay. Defend.
