Insurance Adjusters Aren’t on Your Side

Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years

Insurance adjusters aren’t on your side after a crash, even though they may sound friendly and helpful. Their job is to protect the insurance company and limit how much the company pays on claims.

What Insurance Adjusters Really Want

Adjusters may ask for recorded statements, request extensive documentation, or try to resolve your claim quickly before doctors have determined the full extent of your injuries. Cooperation is part of the claims process, but you should be cautious about the information you provide and the decisions you make early on.

Having legal guidance early in the process can help protect your rights and ensure your claim is evaluated fairly. Understanding the role of insurance adjusters is an important step in protecting your interests after an accident. If you have questions about dealing with an adjuster, our office can help.
