The Role of Insurance Adjusters

Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Their primary goal is to minimize payouts to save the company money.

Common Tactics Used by Adjusters
Insurance adjusters often use various strategies to reduce settlement amounts, including:

• Lowball Offers: Offering a quick settlement that doesn't reflect the full value of your claim.
• Requesting Recorded Statements: Using your own words against you.
• Delaying Tactics: Prolonging the process to pressure you into accepting a lower offer.

What You Should (and Shouldn't) Do
To protect your claim, it's important to know what actions to take—and what to avoid.

• Provide basic information about the accident (e.g., date, location).
• Document all communications with the adjuster.
• Do not give a recorded statement or discuss fault without consulting an attorney.
• Do not accept the first settlement offer.

Why an Attorney is Essential
An experienced personal injury attorney can:

• Handle all communications with the adjuster.
• Ensure you don't inadvertently harm your case.
• Negotiate a fair settlement that reflects the true extent of your damages.
