Speaking to Insurance After a Truck Accident

Answer:

We had a situation where a client called our office recently, asked one of our attorneys this, and here’s how our attorney responded. The short answer is, no, that’s a bad idea. Why? Because all insurance adjusters are trained in how to take what you and use it against you down the road. That is doubly or triply true in trucking accident cases because you don’t become, if you’re an insurance adjuster, an insurance adjuster for trucking cases on day one. You start out with the little parking lot cases, and by the time you get to trucking accident cases, you’re very skilled at protecting the trucking company. You’re also very skilled at making sure that the trucking company doesn’t have to pay out too much money to the people that have been injured. That’s why you need to have a skilled trucking accident law firm on your side to balance this out.

You’ve seen the scale of justice; you do not want to be in a situation where, basically, you’ve got a heavy-weight adjuster here and you’re by yourself, the lightweight, because eventually you’ll get squashed. Remember, call us early. The call is free, the information is free. As far as talking to an adjuster, we don’t allow our clients to talk to the adjusters about their injuries or the accident. We only do it in writing, and that’s how we protect our clients. Don’t fall for what the insurance adjuster says – “Well, if you don’t give me a recorded statement, then I’m not going to fix your car.” When you call us and hire us, and that’s why we’ll balance things out in your favor. Remember, the call is free, the information is free. It can be priceless. It can make the difference in tens of thousands or even millions of dollars to you, and we are here for you.
