If an insurance adjuster calls you, whether, from your insurance company or another, it is best to remain cautious. If possible, it is best to have a lawyer present during the call. You are allowed to ask that your lawyer be present when called by an insurance adjuster. Our attorneys are ready to speak to an insurance adjuster and advise you on what questions you do or do not have to answer.
If you must speak to an insurance adjuster alone, it is advised that you keep your answers short and sweet. You are required to give an insurance adjuster your name, address, and phone number. If they ask about the events of the accident, you need only to tell them the place and time in which the accident took place, and what kind of accident occurred. You should NEVER speak in absolutes to the adjuster. If they ask about your medical condition, only tell them that you are still being assessed. If they ask about the accident or any potential witnesses, only tell them that the investigation and finding of witnesses are still ongoing. Under absolutely no circumstances should you ever admit fault? If you are not careful, they could use whatever information you give them in court. If the adjuster asks if they can record you, ALWAYS refuse.
An insurance adjuster may seem friendly, but they work for a company that is trying to pay out as little as possible. They are in the business of saving their money. We are in the business of making sure you are compensated fairly for your injuries.
