FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do not talk to any insurance adjuster before talking to an auto accident lawyer
This could make your personal injury attorney’s job much more difficult later. Insurance companies absolutely want to pay you the least amount of money possible for any injuries resulting from your accident. Many times they will offer to pay only your immediate medical bills (like your ER bills). But they never tell you that you should also get future medical, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Insurance adjusters actively seek information from you, or about you, which will lower your injury value
They fish very creatively for this evidence. They do this by asking, in a concerned, friendly way, things like “how are you feeling?,” “what was your treatment,?” “did you have any pain in this area before?,” etc. They sound like very nice people. But those questions are designed so that they get information to lower the value of your accident case. Don’t answer them. I repeat: Do Not Answer Them. Call a personal injury attorney, such as myself, instead.
You don’t know what statements can lower your car accident case value!
Trust me! You would be shocked at the innocent answers that can and will be twisted and used against you.
You are allowed to not answer or return the other driver’s adjuster phone calls.
In moderate to serious injury accidents, insurance adjusters may also be very aggressive with their phone calls. They leave message after message. But you can freely ignore any calls from the at-fault driver’s auto insurance company, until you have decided what to do. BUT, your own insurance company may have requirements under your policy that you report and assist them, often within 30 days or less in some cases. Those things should be done with the help of a personal injury attorney. Unless it is your own insurance company, you owe them nothing.
