After sustaining injuries in a car accident that was not your fault you will likely receive a telephone call from an insurance adjuster. This adjuster is usually a representative of the other driver’s insurance company. The adjuster will act as if they are concerned about your well-being and that they wanted to make sure that you were ok. In reality, they are trying to get a gauge on the nature of your injuries and whether or not they will be able to get rid of your case quickly and cheaply.
A common ploy is for the adjuster to try to convince you that hiring a lawyer will only cost you money. In reality, that is almost never the case. There is a reason that the insurance company does not want you to be represented by experienced legal counsel. That reason is money. They know that the vast majority of cases, an attorney will be able to extract the maximum amount of money from them to compensate you for your injuries.
If you have been involved in an accident or received a similar telephone call from an insurance agent, it is in your best interest to consult with an attorney who can give you a free case evaluation.
