How to Deal With Claims Adjusters During Your Car Accident Claim

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

The first thing your insurance adjuster will do when they contact you about your car accident injury claim is to try and establish a friendly relationship. While this makes for a more pleasant experience when having to deal with all the paperwork and hassle of reaching a settlement, it’s a tactic used to lull you into a comfort zone.Once you’re talking freely to your new insurance adjuster “friend,” they will be looking for ways to get you to damage your car accident injury claim. What may just feel like casual phone chat as they work on inputting case notes could later come back to haunt you as a typed statement of record.Insurance adjusters want to settle your case as quickly as possible for the least amount out of their company’s pocket. To do this, they often prey on your immediate need of funding for medical bills, or the knowledge that customers get easily frustrated with lengthy paperwork searches and documentation needs.They may offer you a settlement that only addresses your current medical expenses while presenting it as a solution to all of your problems. Another common tactic is to send you on a scavenger hunt for documentation of wages, employer verification, medical records, and other paperwork they demand to verify the numbers in your claim.There’s a lot to know when dealing with insurance adjusters after being injured in a car accident and our article covers the dos and don’ts of talking to insurance companies. A Chicago car accident lawyer is a tremendous asset when it comes to avoiding these common tricks. An experienced Chicago car accident lawyer at The Law Offices of Barry G.
