Automobile accidents are a nightmare, and anyone who experienced such an incident knows that the following investigations only add to the stress and turmoil. Another added stress is dealing with your insurance company after it is all said and done.
No one wants to be the party “at fault.” You end up with tons of added payment – plus, your premium likely goes up. As many people are reluctant to “own up” in less obvious cases, insurance adjusters must come in and deal with the situation.
What Is an Insurance Adjuster?
An insurance adjuster is a professional that investigates any insurance claim to determine what the parties owe (if anything). They can determine who is liable in a situation or how much money you deserve after property damage.
They are not someone you typically bring in; instead, they will contact you following an accident.
Tips to Make it Run Smoothly:
You want these experiences to run as smoothly as possible, so there are some things you should take into consideration before you start interacting with one.
- Don’t Overshare: Yes, they may need to offer an adjuster things like your address and name, but try not to provide any additional information they may use against you.
- Be Polite: Be friendly to your case adjuster as you want them to work with you.
- Don’t Accept First Offers: You may want to put this horrible experience behind you, but accepting an early offer is an easy way for them to cut your compensation.
Should I Contact a Lawyer?
If you do not have any legal experience, getting in touch with a qualified legal professional is a wise idea. They have the expertise and resources to know how to make the most out of a bad situation. They understand the “ins and outs” of the industry much better than a layman. Hiring a lawyer is a great way to protect yourself from being taken advantage of.
