Should I speak to my insurance adjuster first?

After a serious car accident, you might assume that your insurance adjuster wants to help you obtain the money you deserve for your injuries. In reality, your insurance company wants to avoid paying for your injury. They will often offer you the lowest amount of money possible to ensure that their bottom line is not affected by the accident. The following instructions should always be kept in mind when dealing with the insurance company after an accident:

• Never make statements that admit fault without first speaking to a lawyer
• Never sign paper work without first speaking to an experienced attorney
• Avoid speaking with an adjuster from the other driver's insurance company
• If you must speak with an insurance company, only talk about the facts of the accident so that the insurance company can draw a rational conclusion from your statements

While you should report the accident to your insurance immediately, you should never make any statements regarding the accident to the other person's insurance company without a lawyer present. Insurance companies are trained to find ways to pay you less than what you deserve, and if you say anything wrong, you may not receive the amount of money to which you are entitled.
