Why You Shouldn’t Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without Legal Representation
After an accident, one of the first calls many people receive is from an insurance adjuster. While this may seem like a helpful gesture, it’s important to understand that insurance companies are focused on protecting their bottom line—not on ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve. At Aronberg & Aronberg, we’ve seen how speaking to insurance adjusters without legal representation can significantly impact personal injury claims.
The Role of Insurance Adjusters
Insurance adjusters are trained professionals whose primary job is to minimize the payout on claims. They may seem empathetic and cooperative, but their goal is to gather information that could weaken your case. Adjusters are skilled at framing questions to elicit responses that may be used to reduce your claim’s value or deny it entirely.
Common Tactics Used by Insurance Adjusters
Adjusters often ask for recorded statements shortly after an accident. While this may sound routine, these statements can be taken out of context or used against you later. Even innocent remarks like “I’m feeling okay” or “I didn’t see what happened” could be misconstrued as admissions of fault or evidence that your injuries aren’t serious.
Insurance companies frequently offer quick settlements that seem generous but are far less than what you might need to cover medical bills, lost wages, and future expenses. Accepting an early settlement often waives your right to pursue additional compensation.
Adjusters may pose leading questions to influence your responses or to make it seem as though you share responsibility for the accident. For example, they might ask, “Wasn’t the ground wet when you slipped?” or “Were you distracted when the car hit you?”
Insurance companies may attempt to minimize the severity of your injuries by suggesting that pre-existing conditions or unrelated incidents are to blame.
