A number of victims who have been injured in California car accidents proceed with their insurance adjuster under the impression that the adjuster is there to help them. This is a misconception that can significantly hurt your claim. The cold reality is that the adjusters are not your friend. In fact, the insurance adjuster will get promoted, and receive bonuses based on how much money he can save the company by withholding money from you.
Beware Of Adjusters’ Traps
Use caution when dealing with an insurance adjuster. An adjuster’s act of being kind is just that, an act. This is one of many tricks they have been trained to use. Do not fall into their traps. Be careful what you say as well. Some adjusters will record your statements and use it against you (sometimes out of context). Make notes of all conversations with the adjuster. Do not volunteer any information … it will be used against you … no matter how insignificant. Tell the truth. Do not exaggerate your losses, this is a sure way to destroy your credibility and give the adjuster more reason to short change you. An insurance claim is not a lottery win. It is designed to compensate you for your losses, not to fund your retirement.
