Why Insurance Companies Delay, Deny, and Defend in Ohio — And How We Fight Back

You’ve been injured. You file an insurance claim. Then… nothing. Or worse, you get denied. Sound familiar?

Unfortunately, billion-dollar insurance companies in Ohio—and across the country—use a strategy we call Delay, Deny, Defend.

What Is “Delay, Deny, Defend”?

It’s a three-part playbook used to minimize payouts:

  1. Delay your claim with endless paperwork and vague responses.

  2. Deny your valid claim outright, hoping you’ll give up.

  3. Defend aggressively if you take legal action.

This tactic is especially common in injury claims from car accidents, slips and falls, and workplace injuries in places like Cleveland and Akron.

Why Do They Do It?

Simple: profit. The longer they delay or deny your claim, the more interest they earn on their money—and the more desperate you become to settle for less.
