Dealing with Insurance Companies After an Accident
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible. Common tactics include:
- Low settlement offers before you know the full extent of injuries
- Attempts to shift blame
- Delaying the claims process
Insurance Adjuster
An insurance adjuster is the person who investigates your claim and decides how much the insurance company will offer. Their goal is to save the insurer money, so having a personal injury lawyer speak for you can help protect your rights.
