Let Our Experienced Legal Team Protect Your Rights & Best Interests
After a personal injury accident such as a car crash, you may very well end up facing a big insurance company in court in order to obtain the amount of compensation that you truly deserve. Insurance companies are meant to cover injury- or accident-related expenses when you are an innocent victim, but many times they attempt to pay out less than you need. Should you decide to take your case to court, you can be sure that they will hire excellent attorneys to defend them. The only way to succeed in a case against them is to hire a competent and experienced attorney.

When an Accident Claim is Denied
Although you assume the insurance company has your best interests in mind, that is not the case. Insurance adjusters are committed to serving the company’s best interests and protecting its bottom line by reducing the amount you deserve or denying your claim altogether.
The following are some common reasons why the insurance company may deny your claim:
- Avoidable accident - Whether you could’ve avoided the accident or you contributed to the accident in some way, then your insurance claim could be denied. This will likely occur if the insurer believed your actions rendered the coverage ineffective, such as driving under the influence or having someone not covered by your insurance driving your car.
- No proof of injury or pain - When you’re injured in a collision, you must seek immediate medical treatment, whether it’s by calling for an ambulance or visiting your doctor right away. If you fail to do so, the insurance company may argue that you were never actually injured or your injuries were not the result of the accident.
- No medical records - Without an official medical document that states you suffered an injury, the insurer will deny your claim.
- Pre-existing condition - The insurer may claim that your pre-existing condition caused your injury and pain, rather than the collision. However, if your condition became worse by the crash, you may still receive some compensation but it’s difficult to prove what injury was caused by your accident and determine the extent your pre-existing condition had an effect on your accident injury.
If none of the issues above doesn’t apply to your case, then perhaps the insurer denied your claim in bad faith. In other words, the insurance company failed to live up to its obligation to resolve your case according to the policy.

This was the first time I had needed to hire an attorney. I met with 7 different lawyers before I decided. Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court. I am very pleased with the service and the way the case was handled. I would and do recommend them to my friends.

I highly recommend this firm. They are very busy, so sometimes you may need to be persistent in calling them. BUT they are experienced in accidents cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect. Their lien doctors are excellent. You get all the medical treatment you need.

Sawl Law Group was such a big help to me. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs a lawyer to them. I currently live in a different state and was unable to appear in court. Sawl Law Group stood in on my behalf. I was so grateful. In the end my warrant was recalled, and I was able to complete the stipulations of my case in my current state. This was such a relief to me. My fee was very affordable, and I was able to be put on a payment arrangement. I couldn’t of asked for better service. My person of contact was Claudia, and she was very helpful, and informative. She answered all my questions, always contacted me back when a message was left, and was always available for me. She walked me through the whole process and I appreciate her support. I just want to thank my lawyer Michelle for working on my behalf and Sawl Law Group for helping me out when I most needed it. So if your searching for a good lawyer who would work on your behalf, please choose Sawl Law Group.

Our Experience with the Sawl Law Group was only positive. My adult son was in serious trouble and refused to follow our extended family’s advice on how to plea, so as to enable him to get the help we thought he needed. Martin Taleisnik represented us and went above and beyond his call-to-duty on repeatedly meeting with our son and trying to talk sense into him. Because of his familiarity with the D.A.’s and judges, he was able to counsel us as to what to expect and whom to avoid, if possible.
All we were concerned about was that my son would get a fair hearing and not be swept aside by the court process. During one court appearance, Mr. Taleisnik was in the judge’s chambers for over 20 minutes, presenting the mitigating factors in my son’s case. At the sentencing hearing, Mr. Taleisnik gave an impassioned speech to the judge which persuaded the judge to give my son probation. During that speech, a female sitting behind us in court tapped us on the shoulder and told us that she was impressed by our attorney.
Regarding the fee. We were quoted a reasonable global fee that would cover anything that would transpire, short of a trial. My son’s case was continued almost monthly for 6 months, due to his co-defendant and other court procedures. Mr. Taleisnik was always there, on time, and would speak to us afterward in the hall, at length, about what the proceedings meant and what the next step was.
I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed.
