Underpayment Tactics Used By Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often underpay claims to protect their bottom line.
Unfortunately, they have developed an extensive playbook over the years to justify their underpayments and trick customers into accepting inadequate settlements.
Here are some common tactics they use:
- Lowball Initial Offers: Insurers may start with an unreasonably low payout to see if you’ll accept it without question.
- Inadequate Damage Assessments: Adjusters might underestimate the cost of repairs or replacement.
- Misclassifying Losses: They may categorize damages under less expensive coverage limits or exclusions.
- Depreciation Adjustments: Reducing payouts by claiming depreciation, even when it doesn’t apply.
- Selective Policy Interpretation: Misinterpreting vague policy terms to minimize payouts.
These tactics are designed to wear you down, and pressure you into agreeing to a settlement that doesn’t work for you. With our help, you have the power to fight back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do insurance companies underpay claims?
To save money, insurers may rely on biased adjusters or experts, incorrect valuations, or policy misinterpretations.
Can I dispute an underpaid claim myself?
While you can, having an experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of recovering the full amount. Our team at Red Dirt Legal has extensive experience representing clients in insurance dispute cases.
How do I know if my claim was underpaid?
If your insurance company’s offer doesn’t match your own calculations of your damages, you know that something is up. Consult an insurance dispute attorney to find out if the settlement is fair. We will compare your insurer’s payment to repair estimates, receipts, and the opinions of experts.
What types of evidence are useful in disputes?
Repair invoices, photos of damages, policy documents, and third-party professional assessments strengthen your argument. Our team can help you prepare these documents to prepare your case.
What are my options if the insurer won’t pay fairly?
You can negotiate further. However, sometimes, the only argument an insurer will listen to is a lawsuit. Contact an experienced insurance dispute attorney to file a lawsuit and take the fight to them.
