The Truth About Insurance Adjusters

After a serious accident, the last things you want to deal with are complicated insurance forms and settlement negotiations, which is exactly what the insurance companies are counting on.

The truth about insurance adjusters is that no matter how nice they seem on the phone or how sympathetic to your plight, they have one job: to save their company money. Insurance adjusters don't get raises or promotions by handing out large settlements to accident victims, their job is to get information to help their company deny or reduce your claim or get you to settle for the least amount of money possible.

The friendly nature of your insurance adjuster is really just an act. They may ask you about your family, your job, etc. but what they are really looking for is ammunition to damage your ability to collect a fair settlement. Insurance adjusters are highly trained in getting you to reveal information that may damage your claim through carefully worded questions that make you look like the bad guy!

If an insurance adjuster tries to contact you for a statement after an accident, refuse to let them record the conversation and tell him to direct all communications through your St. Petersburg personal injury lawyer.

That's one of the best aspects of hiring legal representation. Instead of dealing with insurance adjusters, frustrating legal paperwork, and filing deadlines, you can concentrate on your recovery and let your lawyer do the hard work for you (while ensuring your legal rights and best interests are being represented in your claim).
