Insurance Companies Avoid Paying Unrepresented Claimants

Insurance companies use various strategies in an effort to get unrepresented claimants to settle their claims prematurely, often for far less than fair value. In Alberta an injury claimant must file a claim with the court before the “limitation period” expires. If a claimant fails to file a proper claim prior to the limitation deadline the claimant loses the right to make a claim.
