Insurance companies are almost always responsible for defending both personal injury and workers’ compensation claims. These companies exist to make money and paying victims fair damages on every claim that comes in means that an insurance company will make less money. Thus, many insurance carriers will try to minimize the severity of a soft tissue injury to avoid paying a claim or at least avoid paying the full value of a claim.
