Don’t Let the Insurance Company Take Advantage of You

After a Car Accident, Don’t Let the Insurance Company Take Advantage of You

Being in a motor vehicle accident is stressful and overwhelming. You may be in pain, unable to work, and worried about medical bills and car repairs. Then the phone rings—it’s the other driver’s insurance company. The adjuster sounds friendly and eager to help. Don’t be fooled. Their goal isn’t to help you—it’s to protect their company’s bottom line.

Am I Required to Speak to the Other Driver’s Insurance Company?

No, you are not required to talk to them. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They may try to shift blame onto you, downplay your injuries, or get you to say something that weakens your case. If they call, politely decline and refer them to your attorney. Always speak to a qualified lawyer before giving any information.

What If They Ask for a Recorded or Written Statement?

You are under no legal obligation to provide a recorded or written statement. Doing so can seriously harm your case. Adjusters will scrutinize your words for inconsistencies, twist your statements, and use them to question your credibility. Never give a statement without first consulting with an experienced car accident attorney.

Beware of Low-Ball Settlement Offers

Insurance companies may quickly offer you a settlement that sounds generous, but it’s usually far less than you deserve. Once you accept, your case is closed. Even if your injuries worsen or you face long-term costs, you can’t go back for more. Don’t sign away your rights.
