YOU’VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT: 5 REASONS NOT TO TALK TO THE ADJUSTOR

1. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You may make a mistake, or even admit to some possible criminal wrongdoing.

2. If your attorney talks to the adjustor, nothing he says can be used in court.

3. The insurance adjustor is not your friend. He wants to help his boss, the insurance company and not you.

4. The insurance adjustor wants to pin you down before you even know if you are hurt. It may take days – or even weeks – for the extent of your injuries, if any, to be known.

5. Your attorney will see that you are fully and fairly compensated for your injuries (and any damage to your property) or your attorney doesn’t generally get paid. Most attorneys will handle the property portion of your claim without pay.
